Is that not enough calcium?
BlueSugarLeafstarted grow question 2y ago
How can I recognise that it is only a calcium deficide? The plant is also the largest and the only one with such deficiencies. Could the plant also be lacking manganese or magnesium and what can I use to compensate for this? Are pests or diseases excluded?

Not pest or disease, but over fed with nitrogen and with a developing calcium deficiency.

I think you cam safely eliminate pests. It very well could be lacking in some of the trace elements you mentioned. Before changing anything I would take some runoff measurements to make sure your rootzone is in an acceptable range. You could be providing the right nutrients but it can't absorb them. If your runoff is good, consider a CalMag supplement.

Is this Yellow spot septoria?Hi gromies. Is this yellowing caused by septoria? Or just normal N deficiency during flower. I can see minor pest remains ob leaves and stuff but not affecting plant overall. Plant in good air flow and humidity around 50% so I question whether it's septoria. thx in adv.Week 11

So at day 55 I'm noticing that some of my leaf tips are looking a bit burnt and some rust colored spots are showing up on the leaves. I read that this might a deficiency of cal or mag or a ph issue. Just wondering if any one could help my diagnose this issue and try to fix it.Week 8

See the last photo from Day 24.
There are a few spots on this one section of one leaf.
Because it's limited to this one area, I'm not too concerned.
But I would like to know if someone thinks this is a nutrient deficiency/excess or something to be concerned about.Week 4

Phosphorus Issue?Slurricane is having a phosphorus issue and not drinking water as fast after transplanting. I’ve been feeding cal mag every water and thinking it’s a root zone issue. Should I apply stop watering and apply a follar feed of 3 part general hydro nutrients?Week 6

Dark spots on leavesOne of my girls got dark spots on her leaves. Is she ill, or is it too hot, or is the humidity too high? I gave them every second watering all those fertilizers 1ml/L. Could someone help please? I cant reduce the temp without this small climatizer (which is filled water) see picWeek 9

Slight discoloration in the leavesThe leaves are starting to get slightly discolored on the edges, what could be causing this? Could it be the white flies? Or could it be too many nutrients? I am giving the plant a bit of Canna A and B, although it's meant for hydroponic, it's all I have at the moment.5y ago

The plants in my system do not
do not grow up evenly and brown deposits on the leaves. Water temp was high 21 degrees and has now been lowered to 19. Ph 5.7 and EC 0.6.
Nutrition: No nutrition because I thought brown leaves could mean overfeeding. I've added 4 pictures #somethiWeek 2

Little browinish/beige dots near leaf veinsI noticed some weird little browinish/beige dots near the veins of some leaves, mostly the upper/center ones, those exposed to the light. I checked for bugs everywhere, even with the jewel loupe, and I haven't see one. What can it be? Maybe heat/light stress?Week 11

Does this look like minor leaf burn, too many nutrients or something else?I believe two of the plants developed minor leaf burn. One has white streaks on the middle and outer portions of several leaves, and the other has a rust, reddish stripe parallel to the center of several leaves. I’ve attached pictures above. Thoughts are greatly appreciated.5y ago
