Hello Growers! Brown spots on higher fan leaves. Critical Auto in 9th week from seed. 10L Fabric pots, Light mix (peat moss, perlite, nkp 12-14-24) + 25% worm casting (npk 8-7-6). Added banana peal compost tea, honey, worm casting top dress. Feed PH 6-7. Any idea please?

with the smorgarsborg of stuff you add, who knows. too much of something, i'd guess. it's not about products or this rotting material or that. it's about concentration and ratio of nutrients. piling more on will probably just make it worse. e.g. epsom is great if you need some extra sulfur or magnesium.. otherwise it is not needed. molasses is not needed unless you are depending on microbe to chelate molecules or fix nitrogen in order for the fertilizer you provide to be plant ready. if it's soluble and plant ready on its own you don't need to be adding sugars to soil. some of the stuff you add may need this, other stuff may not. it depends. if your substrate is constatnly wet - more than moist - that could also be part of it. allow it to dry more before re-irrigating.

Thank you! I'm more relaxed if it looks like a nutrient imbalance. I probably eat the molases myself and put my feet in epsom bath, and only give PHd water to this poor girl for next 2 feed. :D I was in the impression that with homemade compost tea + worm casting one could never reach high enough concentration like in commercial fertilizers... But I know now that an auto takes less, and homemade fert is viable if right ratios are experimented. Difficult to locate clear guidance online about dosage on these things Any good in depth learning / book to recommend on the organic homemade topic? Thanks again

Oh and she was in very humid and hot conditions at start 80% & 28-30C. Now we have AC installed since 2weeks. Humidity around 50%, temp 24-27C. I have more plants that did not show brown spots up till today, (same feed and conditions) but today I see 1 similar leaf brown on another lady that is the smallest weakest. The one from original post with the pics was always the biggest and most healthy before...

Feed PH adjusted with citric acid or ascorbic acid and PH strips. Home made LED lighting. I have recently bought molasses and Epson salt, planning to give some tomorrow. This was a thriving plant till flowering week 3. Browning since approx. 1week... I'm afraid this is an infestation and the buds will get affected... How to tell if fungi, bacteria from compost tea or if deficiency/lockout/ph problem? Thx for any help!
