Black spots on leaves
Trickotreat47
started grow question 2y 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.

leaves dry and curling up
Gelato canopy leaves continue to dry and canoeing up. I've backed off the lights, changed the air circulation, and gave only water in the last week, but the situation is just getting worse. Canopy buds are not growing and trichomes production is much higher in the lower branches

More rusty spots
See this now on more and more leaves. Only upper fan leaves that get good light exposure seem to be affected from this and also the clawing. Have backed off the nutes completely for now and will add ground egg shells to the water in the hope its a Ca deficiency.

Brown Edges on Leaf. Bit of yellow and purple.
What could be causing this? And how do I fix it with GH flora series. It is only showing up on one bud site. But I believe its getting worse. I also noticed other leaves all of the jagged edges are slightly curled up

What deficiency is this ?
What is happening to my plant right now ? I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks. Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil. Started around 6th week

I’m seeing brown on the lower leaves. They also appear particularly shiny like a magnolia leaf. Is this too much iron or magnesium?

Brown spots watering in coco multiple times a day
Seeing brown spots on the leaves. Assuming it's a calcium deficiency. Added another ml/gal of Cal-Mag for the daily feeding. Besides that, what else could it be? Also, at what point do you water plants in coco twice a day?

Browning on the leaves?
I am worried about the leaf colour I feel like it’s slightly browned on the tips. Interested on what others that know what they’re looking at more than me think. Good chance I’m being over protective. I appreciate you.

Brown rust spots on oldest leaves
Brown rust spots on oldest biggest leaves with curling inward - the rest of the flower is fine, just some occasional small yellow spots. No sign of pests. Maintaining pH ~6.5 but have soft water. Suspect cal/mag deficiency or nitrogen toxicity. Thoughts?
