Why is one leaf yellow AND shiny?
GracelessGardensstarted grow question 3y ago
Plant has one leaf that is yellow on one side, and shiny/dark and curling up on the other side? From what I've read those are 2 opposing issues (light burn or nitrogen deficiency/or toxicity) the others are pretty much uniform, Could this be from getting water droplets on leaves?

It's a nitrogen toxicity, you can noticed the red stems (meaning that N avoid P absorption) :)

Calcium deficiency or overfed?Hi.
This is about my Apricot Auto which already suffered the yellow tips/edges. I took that as the result of heat/light stress.
Now she also developed discoloration and brown spots on some of the leaves. It looks like a Calcium deficiency to me, but I am quite uncertain.
Thanks!8mo ago

Over the last week, I have noticed quite a lot of yellowing of leaves, along with them drying out and getting brittle. Now that I am checking the PH of the nutrients, and adjusting to 6.0, I have no idea what's going on. Any insight as to what the issue may be, is appreciated.Week 5

Nutrient Lockout or Nitrogen deficiency (i.e need more nutes) or Fungus (see stems)My leaves are yellow but some are turning green. Do they need more nutrients or lockout? I have not gone above 1EC but have seen both strains handling 1.5EC+ in other diaries. All three plants are drinking the water in trays.
