Rust spots on bottom leaves? SLH Auto - Day 40 - RH:65 - T:75 - soil/perlite mix

Frnikolastarted grow question 2y ago

I've been watering her with pH'd tap water to 6.2 and a small dose of BioBizz nutrients. The edges on the bottom leaves are starting to turn yellow (in some instances some burn) and rust spots are beggining to appear. What could be causing this?

Your cannabis plant is likely experiencing a potassium deficiency, possibly exacerbated by slight pH imbalances and potential salt build-up. Here's a clear action plan: Adjust your watering pH to 6.5 to optimize nutrient uptake. Perform a soil flush with pH-balanced water to remove any excess salts. Ensure your nutrient mix includes adequate potassium. Monitor the plant for new growth to confirm improvement. By following these steps, you should see an improvement in your plant's health and reduce the yellowing and rust spots on the leaves. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance

What could be causing this?I'm experiencing yellowing, browning and crisping on some leaves, but only on the main colas so far. I have checked the PH in and out. In has always been perfect, but the PH of the run-off was 5.8 so I'm flushing to rule out nute lockout. Anything else it could be??

Yellow and fragile leaves 2 week Couple leaves yellowing and bit curved up. I suggest there can be the options: 1) magnesium deficiency; 2) nitrogen deficiency; 3) Light burn. For case it is magnesium deficiency I sprayed the leaves with magnesium sulfate (solution - 1g per 1 liter), but it won't help.

Cal/mag problem or heat issue?A few leaves have some problem spots popping up here in week 6 (see pics). No nutes, PH’d water. FFOF/HF/Perlite mix for medium under 20 hours of light. I’m guessing either got too hot from being in 90F heat for an hour or needs cal/mag? Any advice from any veterans out there?

Cal mag or nutrient Burn I have 3 Automatics. I made the mistake of planting the into BioBizz Allmix, which is pretty strong for Autos. Strawberry Gorilla and Aplle Strudel seem to be fine. My Orange sherbet not so much. Is this Cal/ Mag defficiency or nutrient burn?

Calcium deficiency?I'm not so sure if it's calcium deficiency, what do you think? Watering 100ml of water minimum. Using 1ml calmag/per 1L(and other nutrients like N,P,K)..soil comes nutrient free. Should I water her more and add more calmag or is this a different deficiency?
