Brown spots on leaves
electabruce420started grow question 2 years ago
What could be the cause of those brown spots ? pH has been over 7 because of organics fertilizers, could that be it ?

A pH over 7 is not good at all.... what you're seeing is a calcium deficiency which was probably caused by the pH problems BUT I notice that you've also said something about giving them more P & N? You don't indicate what nutes you're giving or the amounts but a nitrogen toxicity will also cause a calcium deficiency. Plants in flower need less nitrogen that they need in veg so don't over do that nutrient... Add some calmag and definitely keep the pH down between 6.0 and 6.5.
Good luck....

Hello, the color of your leaves seems very pale. I advise you to give more nitrogen to the girls. However usually those dots are caused by a lack of calcium or magnesium which could in turn be caused by an incorrect pH, carefully check the pH of the water that comes out of the bottom of the vase.

Browning spots after H202 rinse.Hey guys! My first dwc and I’m having an issue. So after about a week my water was cloudy. I rinsed and washed the bucket, fixed the area where light was getting in. Then I rinsed my cube and plant with H202 3%, 1/3 to 2/3 water. Changed out nutes but now look like this. ?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Cal-mag issue that won't go awayI keep getting a cal-mag deficiency. I have been using 1ml per liter of water - 4ml roughly per gallon. It is only 1 plant, the same which has had the same cal-mag issue since early veg.
I include cal-mag every watering and nutrient feed day.

Is this pH related?Hello, mates!
Anyone knows what this could be? Searching I found that it could be pH related. I use pH controller from ferts (pH perfect from advanced nutrients) since the beginning, so I think it's odd that it could be a pH issue.
p.s. 3.5 weeks of flowering
Thanks 🙏 🙏Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

I have this symptom, a pattern of rust spots happening on new leaves, I have checked medium PH, which is around 7.5. I think it is Boron Deficiency caused by The medium PH not being approximately 6.5.

DeficienciesHey guys,
First two pictures are from one plant and the third is from another.
Any idea what the issues are?
First two pics I’m thinking phosphorous? The markings are only in one section though.
Second I’m thinking cal mag?
Thanks everyoneLeaves. Color - Dark-brown

Spotting issue consistent in all my grows. Have always thought Cal deficient but more Cal never fixes the issue. PH always checked with 2 PH pens 6.2-6.8.Always pops up around the same time in flower.. week 4/5. Brown irregular spots and occasional curling down on the fan leaves. The only things I have consistently used in all the grows is the LED light, RO water, and CALiMAGic. Switched to dry organics but now its back. N toxic?2 years ago
