Looks like there’s yellowing in between the veins of the leaf to me. That or the lights making it look that way. Anyhow that’d be magnesium deficien

I cant see the whole plant, but from the picture it looks like nitrogen deficiency.

I seem to have some yellowing on fresh growth starting to occur. I'm not too sure how to prevent it. I have started to do some LST and find it to be successful and a lot of fresh sites have appeared and wonder if this could inhibit it by stressing the plant?

The plants get yellow leaves Guten Abend ich bin hier neu, und habe folgende Frage; meine 4 Francos Lemon Cheeses werden immer hellgrüner? Sie stehen in einem 50x100cm Zelt und werden von einem Zeus XT 308 in der Farbe 3500K Cri 90 beleuchtet. Die Erde habe ich aus ca. einem Drittel gebrauchter Erde und 2 Drittel Plagron All Mix gemischt, und je 2 BioTabs/Topf gegeben. Stehen tun sie in 11l Pflanzensäcken. Seit einer Woche wird eine extrem hell und später werden die Blattränder braun, aber jetzt werden alle heller und sehen nicht mehr gesund aus. Laut meinen Recherchen schauen sie unterdüngt aus, aber ich bin mir absolut nicht sicher. Vorgestern war Gießtag und ich habe folgendes dem abgestandenen Leitungswasser beigemengt. 3ml/l CalMag von Biobizz 5 ml/l Melasse und 5ml/l Bio Tabs Orgatrex sowie 2ml/l Terra Grow von Plagron. Vor ca. 10 Tagen habe ich zum ersten mal gedüngt und habe ca. 5ml/l Bio Tabs Orgatrex und ein wenig Melasse gegeben und vor 6 Tagen habe ich geflimmt. Die Pflanzen sind etwas über 5 Wochen alt. Ich bin auf Eure Tipps gespannt und sag schon mal danke.

Splotches on leaves What is this discoloration on my plant? Ph issue? Low phosphorus? Don't see any evidence of bugs... Color isnt as green as the plant still in veg.

What's the problem?Hi guys, basically for the last few days the problem hasn't varied too much but I can't figure out if it's my light or if it's coming from somewhere else. Some of my leaves are curling with stains either on the leaf or like a burn on the tips.

Organic peat control I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

Yellowing and Reddening of older fan leaves I’m experiencing a lot of yellowing that progresses into dark red blotches. I suspected a possible cal mag deficiency but after upping the dose multiple times I’m still having issues. Any recommendations on possible causes/treatments? Temp stays between 74-76, humidity around 60%

Yellow spots on leaves Noticed yellow spots on one of my leaves. It’s just on one plan (just one bottom leaf). Don’t know if this is cause of water being on the leaf or something else. Might just cut the leaf but I wanna know what it is 😅😅

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?

Possible Nitrogen Deficiency?Is this a nitrogen deficiency? I had a yellowing leaf or two at the bottom of the plant which have since dropped off, but rest of the plant is looking patchy now. I have just switched from fish mix to bio grow.

Is it normal for new growth 10 days into flowering to be lightening in colour? I am new and noticing that it is fairly lighter than previous veg growth before as my nutrient needs and feed has changed. Just want to be safe! Thx 😄

Leaves fading and dying, started from bottom but spreading I’m starting to be at a loss with this. Calmag issues earlier in veg, seemed to improve for a while but now bottom leaves started to die - I thought this was just due to beginning of flower but it’s getting worse and spreading even to healthier new growth. PH (should be) fine.

What is happening to my plants?I had them in the terrace outdoors. Temperatures sometimes reach 40C. Lately more and more yellow leaves in the ABC have been showing up. In the other normal leafed plants crispy dried and brown leaves are showing. Now the ABC also is showing some dry leaves and yellow as well.
