Flush or what to do ?Advice please. I watered yesterday but the stains on the leaves are getting worse. Now I don't know if it is deficiency of cal n mag due to nutritient lock out which might be due to ph being off as I have 5 reders and all of them show a different thing. 🤦‍♀️...or it is it rust?

Bottom fan leaves turning Yellow on week 8... Emergency, or all good ?I know It's a Nitrogen deficiency. No nuts during veg (and fine!), and she's having flowering nuts since 2 days. I know it's normal at the end of the flowering, but i'm wondering if that's too soon !? Not sure how many time left before harvest!? Big problem or not?

Hi! im experiencing yellowing and falling leaves in all the strains i planted 5 weeks ago. Only lower leaves. Thought it could be nitrogen deficency but already fed them with N nutrient and still slowly yellowing from bottom to top. All plants are in early flowering stage.

High TDS and low ph runoff - Lockout? deficiency?Struggling with some bad soil (beginners mistake). I water with dechlorinated tap water at around ph 7.4 and 400ppm (not feeding yet). But runoff ph is 6 and around 1000 ppm. Am I dealing with a N-lockout? why such a ph difference and high TDS value?

Noticed these yellow spots this morning. Not sure if this is a nute deficiency, leaf septoria or too much light. My lights were pretty low as my tent isn't very tall. Have been watering at around 6.4 and recently started feeding a full dose of Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.

Yellowing leaves on bottom and middle I am growing in organic soil and transplanted 3.5 weeks ago from .75 gallon pot to 2.5 gallon pot. I noticed some yellowing on some of the leaves, generally towards the bottom but a little in the middle. Is this a cause for concern or do some leaves natural die off?

Leaves are turning yellow from the bottom up and I'm not sure if it's the natural death of unessery lower leaves or a nitrogen deficiency. It's not a ph problem. Thoughts?
