Yellow Spots on Lower Leaves in Week 5 of Flowering – Nitrogen Deficiency?
Moondogzstarted grow question 1y ago
Hey friends, I have a problem with yellow spots on the lower leaves. People are saying it's nitrogen deficiency. It's currently week 5 of flowering, and I'm wondering if this is within normal limits and if I should just leave it as it is. Any advice on what to do?

To me, your pant is sufering from excess nitrogen and not enough potassium.
Add a P/K boooster to your line up, or increase the dosage if already using a P/K booster.
The clawing leaves are the clue to too much nitrogen.

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?Leaves. Tips - Burnt
