Need help identifying the deficiency here
Laezustarted grow question 2 years ago
I just started seeing some kind of deficiency on the lower leaves of my plant that's still pretty young. Can someone please help identify? Just tested the PH and it's at 6.4. I'm not seeing any spots on new leaves. Do I ride this out? Do a flush? Appreciate any advice!

This is looking to me like the start of a phosphorus deficiency... I don't think your ratios of the nutes is quite right... at this point, the Flora Series needs to be equal amounts of each of the Grow, Micro and Bloom - and it's the Bloom that's really going to give the most phosphorus to the plant. Your pH is spot on ... I'd just increase the Micro and Bloom to equal what you're giving of the Grow and add an additional PK -
Good luck!

Am I about to give my plant a nitrogen overdose?Today I noticed that some of the leaves tips were curling a bit down, being a bit darker and they seem to have some wrinkles too. Could it be nitrogen overdose? How would you correct that? Less fish mix or switch to bio grow?Week 5

Nitrogen toxicity? Deficiency? Something else? Stumped!I don't get it. Is this N toxicity? Serrated upturned edges, clawing, slow growth. But how? FFHF 75% FFOF 25%. Just Cal-Mag water. No food. NLS in bottom 3rd of pot. Not wind burn. Not too hot/dry at all. N deficiency? Yellow leaves on first bottom two only. I'm stumped.a year ago

Calmag every watering?Should I be adding calmag+ to every watering? I've been using 50/50 pur+ tap water and distilled water. Ppm is 245 at 50/50 and pur+ filters chlorine. I've also added 1tbsp per gallon of unsulphured molasses and that adds 68ppm. Day 40 right now.Week 7

Leaf tips browned. What nutrient problem is this?Leaf tips browned. And some signs of burn/discoloration at the leaf side edges.
Do you think it's general nutrients overdose? I didn't increase my PPM for the last two weeks, so I don't think it is a problem...
Or Potassium deficit? Or any other secondary nutrient deficit?Leaves. Edges burnt
