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.

Brown spots
I'm having what I think is a cal deficiency. Ive been using calmag for a week or so now. Just curious if this will ruin my end results? It looks pretty bad. Buds still look nice though. Any thoughts?

Some brown spots showing on the top sugar leaves. I suspect it is due to the cooling fan of the light blowing down hot air? I've adjusted the fans to blow air directly over the top of the main cola's and I increased the light distance.

Should I start fertilizing or monitor the pH?
Hi, I'm a beginner, about 10 days after switch, my lower and slightly higher leaves started showing signs of damage. I grow them in a greenhouse in strong sunlight, but I think that they don't get burned, I haven't fertilized them even once. What do you think of this?

I have some Canoeing and Brown Spots forming on tips and edges of some leaves. Both Top and lower leaves. Not sure what issue is ? Please see pictures. This is a coco grow so soil suggestions might not be helpful.

What's going on with mk Ultra? It gets Neem every 2-3 days, and I have tried to keep pH down to 6. This has been going on since I got the clone, and it continues to happen. The pink kush (last pic) has a few similar spots. Lights are 50cm above.

Day 14. Since day 12 a brown spot has appeared on one of the leaves of the first node, spreading little by little. Because of the symptoms, I think it's septoria, so I've sprayed neem oil to see how it works for her. Someone knows what can it be?

Is 8 oz of water about right for 3 weeks old plants? Also thinking about LST, is it a good time to start that now? Also is buying nutrients worth it when it comes to harvest? Or is it more dependents on the power of the light ? Thank you for any advice 💯🙏🏼

What's causing my brown crispy leaves!?
Over the past week my plants have taken a turn for the worse. Many leaves went from yellowing to browning to completely crispy! Other leaves have brown spots on them and some of the stems are purple.
