Calcium deficiency?
GreenCosmosstarted grow question 2y ago
Saw this little brown/yellow parts today.
She is in BioBizz LightMix Soil and gets 0.3ml/L BioBizz CalMag 3x per week.
pH is above 6.5 .
Today I gave her 1ml/L CalMag.
Was this the right choice?
Is this a calcium deficiency?

This is calcium deficiency and likely due to ph getting too high. Likely need to increase feed amounts

I'm not sure if it's calcium because it forms from the edges and makes lines, which seems more like PHFluctuations

Leaves turning yellow and dyingI have a plant that gets a lot of rust spots, even though I give it CalMag once a week. That plant also started getting a handful of leaves that turn yellow and fall off. Is there a nutrient I'm missing in my regiment? Should I do CalMag every watering for the rust spots?Leaves.

Cutting damaged leaves away or not?Hallo, I have some spots on leaves due to calcium deficencie and it has stoped spreading above leaves by adding calmag to the nutrient solution. We talk about 2 single leaves per plant (max 3 leaves). Should I cut them of because they need energy to recover or does it not care?4y ago

Rusty spots mid-top of plants. A couple on each plant. Thoughts?(Check diary for more details)
Thinking calcium deficiency, also maybe magnesium deficiency on a few low yellowed leaves. Thinking it could be nutrient lockout? Feeding them 6.25 pH always. Gonna try 7.0 once and 6.5 for awhile. Thoughts anyone? Im still fairly new and learningWeek 10

Emerging Issues - Week 9At the beginning of the week, I noticed the tips of the leaves drying out. Now, one out of the four plants has completely yellow leaves. Could it be due to the increased Biobizz Bloom dosage? For more information, please check my journal. Regards.Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Add CalMag or Manganese? Still slightly discolored and veiny leaves on week 6Calcium or Manganese deficiency? Last week had what I thought was early calcium deficiency. Gave it a dose of CalMag but now not sure if it’s still Calcium or possibly Manganese.
I do mean manganese but I realize it could be a CalMag or Manganese deficiency as well.3y ago

Too little calcium in early flower?I’m in the early weeks of flower and am seeing this happening. I thought it was due to an attempt at foliar feeding, but those initial problem leaves have been trimmed.
Is this a calcium deficiency, and if so, how can I address it?

When should I put the pellet in the 5 gal pot??I am currently growing a tangie'matic with "a pot for pot" grow kit. At first the seed germinates in a pellet. Then it says "put pellet in 5 gal soil mix after 10 days or when the third set of leaves matches the second." I did it after 10 days and this happened.Leaves. Curl down

ma plante jaunieJe voudrais être sure. Feuilles jaunies branche rougies c'est le manque de soufre. Et cela et due généralement au ph de l'eau.
Mais si c'est ca ? Pourquoi cela se voit toujours en fin de vie de la plante et pas avant ? Mon eau et prise dans une cuve d'eau de pluie.Week 13

Can this delay flowering of an auto?What deficiency is this please?
I suspect phosphorus deficiency and as such have reduced the PH from 6.4 back down to 5.8
It is not spreading and appeared spontaniously and at once a few days ago.
Growth has been slow for almost 2 weeks and flowering has refused to initiate.Week 5
