Lushbloomzstarted grow question a year ago
Leaves are mottling, but otherwise healthy. Has anyone seen this before?

I’ve only seen this on forums a few times and each person noted a pH swing when it happened. This could very will be the issue. Maybe you didn’t mix you solution well enough and or a false reading of pH.
Aside from that it never persisted so I wouldn’t worry much.
Hope this helps.

Interesting. have not seen this first hand before. Have heard lots about it in various forms and word of moth. Most of it comes down to it looks pretty but tends to be an under performer in terms of yield.
Good Luck!

Burned or finishing early?So I'm very torn about what's going on with my Jack 47 Auto. There's part of me that feels I may have burned her, and another part that thinks she's just finishing early. I have details in the diary. Any insight about what I did "wrong" would be great!3 years ago

Browning, curling of Green Crack leavesIs this discoloration worrisome? Ph 6.1, adding 1tsp calmag to each gal, EC at 1.5. What's causing this browning? Seeing only on the Green Crack, mostly higher leaves, but some lower too. Does it need more or less of something? Leaves look "dirty".3 years ago

Leaf damage/discolourationThe yellowing is from an earlier issue but now I'm noticing brown spots and the leaves curling up, some getting crispy-ish. I recently lowered the lights a few inches, knowing I was pushing the safe limits. Is this from the lights or is more likely a nutrient/pH imbalance?3 years ago

Calcium or Phosphorus Deficiency?One of my 3 Cream & Cheese has upper leaves on 3 stems/colas per the pic. The lower leaves are OK, the other 2 plants are fine. Thought calcium at first as phosphorus is more lower leaves? Maybe just add CalMag?
Thank you so much!!Week 10

What are these yellow/brown dots and how can I prevent more from developing?Yellow/brown dots appeared midway through week 4 of flowering. More prominent on upper fan leaves. Gave it nutrient tea (flower nute/worm casting/CalMag) so hopefully that will help. Can’t test pH so difficult to tell if it’s lockout. Added new 600W light this week too.3 years ago
