Black spots on leaves
Trickotreat47started grow question 10 months ago
So I have those black spots on leaves on top of the canopy of my plants. Can someone please explain what are those and how can I treat it? Also the edges of the leaves on top of the canopy are brown and crispy.

The burnt tips are a nutrition/pH issue.
The black blotches could be a fungal problem due to poor air exchange/high humidity.

Should I harvest early? Light stress, leaves browned and dried out, buds are all amber pistilsSo this plant has been suffering from light stress for the past two weeks or so. I have removed all the dry and brown leaves. The buds still seem fine-ish. Should I just give her the chop early and save what I can? She's been flowering for some 6 weeks.Buds. Not fattening

I think my plants are suffering a Phosphorus deficiency due to lockout due to low ph of soil. My first flush only helped for a while. As soon as the medium gets too dry damage resumes. I went to check on them yesterday and the amount of damage they took in 24 hours was pretty bad5 years ago
