Hi there! Yep this looks like a Phosphorous deficiency. In my opinion you're giving way too much nutrients to your plant. You must have created some nutrients-lockout, and now your plant cannot absorb Phosphorous anymore. As an emergency move, I would flush the soil for 3-4 days with plain pH'd water, then follow an appropriate feeding schedule for BioBizz (https://www.alchimiaweb.com/images/xl/bio-bizz-bio-bloom_240_4_.jpg) and see how it goes. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

Does that look like an early deficiency?Hi everyone, what ya thinkin'
What kind of deficiency could that be?
My bet - potassium.
last portion of water was ~6.2 pH
I wasn't feeding her nutes for ten days by now.
Because previous runoff was ~2000 ppm. I thought would be a good idea to do just water for a while.Leaves. Veins - yellow between

Interveinal chlorosis and dead spots on leaves, deficiency?This started appearing about a week ago, after I watered until runoff with plain water. It's on a couple of leaves higher up both plants and seems to be progressing. I am feeding advanced nutrients Grow Micro and Bloom but have been using very low doses, like 1ml/L.Leaves.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.Leaves.

Slight Leaf Discoloration. Early zinc deficiency?Girl showing slight discoloration on newer leaves. Mostly interveinal + little on the tips. Guessing it's an early zinc def. but would like another opinion. Watering sparingly at ph 6.3 - 6.5. No runoff yet, so ph may be higher in soil. Lower ph and watering til runoff next time?Week 2

Is this an Iron deficiency? The tops and new growth look too yellow and the veins are yellowing with a darker green in betweenHaven't fed much with nutes, when I did it's been low doses. I'm trying not to burn one for once. Not sure if its a deficiency or other problem or if I'm just worrying too much, looks off to me though. My problem with overwatering might be contributing.Leaves.

Please help identify my Problem: Yellowing leaves with veins showing and some necrosis spots in third week of flowerThe odd thing is that only some leaves in the middle of the plant are affected. My thoughts were Nitrogen or Manganese deficiency or maybe light burn (why in the mid of the plant tho?)? I feed Biobizz Bloom, Grow and TopMax, no Problems until now.Leaves. Veins - yellow between

Upper leaves are yellow and not smoothI noticed leaves on top are closing and today are yellowish. Older plant aren’t stretching more, I thought it’s too much light or too hot but it’s kinda weird because light are at 40cm from longer plant and 50 from smaller, temperature are max 26C. So, it’s normal?8 months ago

RDWC issues-help please!The Lemon Auto seemed like it was on its way to recovery but it has developed a deficiency(s) - is this a Mg def? It has dark green veins and the leaves are a kind of dull faded lighter green to yellow. I just doubt it is because I’ve been foliage feeding Mg twice a week.Leaves. Veins - yellow between
