@soma666 Yeh mate the oldest leaves will usually die off once the buds start developing. Don't pull them off until they are yellow as the plant will utilise any energy before they die

What could this be?What could this be? It's NL auto with a hydro set up in the transition phase. I believe it had nitrogen lock prior due to over feeding nutrients. I cut all the old leaves that had this and it keeps happening to leaves that we're healthy. Was much darker green and looks better now

Brown spots, PH in run-off is in the high end (6.5~)I see some brown spots on my leaves. I thought it was Calcium Deficiency caused by too low PH so I gave them PH 6.5~ with 30% run-off, and run-off shows at least the same PH so I think it is not too low PH, could it be caused by something else? Maybe too high PH or light-stress?

Calmag Deficiency? Yellow Spots Last res change I saw some yellow/brown spots on the fan leaves up where the main cola was getting too close to the light. Is this a calmag deficiency or light too close? I moved the light up to the top of my tent with zip ties and got back several needed inches. See pics.

Plants deteriorating rapidly, pls help Plants not looking good! Help! White tips at the end. Brown patches. Leaves curling. I've been feeding it 0.5L Advanced Nutrients Coco Big Buds. The light was fairly close, at 30cm. I've raised the lights to 60cm. It was also very humid, so I've opened the air vents .

Fast-growers starting to show issues.Got some issues on these fast growers. I've been treating it as a cal-mag deficiency, however I've been feeding calmag for two weeks and its only getting worse it seems. Any thoughts? PH is 6.0-6.3, PPM 444 feed, RH 47-50%, Temp 77-81f.
