High DonCostro, The roots do not get enough oxygen. You need to let the soil dry out before watering again. Your pH is perfect and the soil contains more then enough nutrients for this stage! So let the top 5cm from your soil dry out before you give water again. And try to water around 10cm away from your plant so that the roots have to search for the water and also have acces to oxygen! Happy Growing! 😋

I agree with m0use on this one... it might also be a bit of genetics!

Too much light or other deficiency Too much light or some other deficiency? I’ve been having some issues with yellowing leaves and some other issues with browning and wilting/curling which I thought was initially nutrient lock but what I noticed is all four plants were not stunted and continued to grow normally.

Brown spots and yellowing What do you think this is? Nutrients deficiency or maybe soil ph. Happened overnight and the plants are a little dry but I just gave them water and nutrients. My ph tester has been broken so I’ve sorta been winging it with some ph strips.

Black spots spreading // Need your help!Anyone got a clue what this dark spots could be? It started in a corner of the tent with 1 plant a few weeks ago and now it has spread to another.
