Orange/rust spots on leaves

Hongostarted grow question 3y ago

Throughout the life of this grow I've seen rust and orange spots on some of the fan leaves. I can't seem to figure out or pinpoint the source of this. I think the plants are in good health overall, I do have a lot of fungual gnats that I'm trying to mitigate

Hello GD friends. My little Diesel Automatic is showing some odd mosaic'esque coloring on the baby leaves. I'm inclined to just let it go for now and see what happens. But if there are any suggestions on helping her out, please let me know! Thanks!

Light green "splotches" on leaves Hi, I've noticed light green "splotches" on my leaves which I'm having trouble matching with images of leave problems. Doesn't appear to be impacting on growth and the issue is only visible on close-up so it might just be me being over concerned, but I'd be grateful for advice!

Fast-growers starting to show issues.Got some issues on these fast growers. I've been treating it as a cal-mag deficiency, however I've been feeding calmag for two weeks and its only getting worse it seems. Any thoughts? PH is 6.0-6.3, PPM 444 feed, RH 47-50%, Temp 77-81f.

Hello. When I watered 3 days ago, I saw some brown spots on the lower leaves and thought I had got some nutrient solution on the leaves but now it's on the next set too. Any idea what is going on? All 3 plants are being treated the same. Thanks Chuck.

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.

I suspect I have either leaf septoria or a calcium deficiency. I'm 2 weeks from harvest. The top leaves appear to be affected. The smell has changed (sharper). Not sure what to do from here. All advice appreciated :)

Spotty/Blotchy Discoloration on leaf.What is this spotty/blotchy discoloration on this leaf? None of the other plants have it, it didn't brush off when rubbed. Hoping it isn't a mold or a pest...I have been keeping the humidity around 65% with good airflow, but I'm wondering if it's time to bring it down to 60%.

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!

Hi Growmies, I have some drooping to the edge of leaves and discolouration. I've been watering every two to three days and live in a soft water area. Is this due to under or overwatering or is there possibly a nutrient deficiency. Thank you ✌️

Problem or No?The leaves have been loosing some of their dark green color between the veins, looks a bit washed out or mottled on both plants. Slow progression over the past couple of days. This is my first grow, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is causing this?What is causing this? It only seems to be on the older leaves and only on this plant. They’re all being fed the exact same.
