DaddyPrime2answered grow question 4 months ago
it looks like a combination of a few things. chlorine toxicity. calcium deficiency. and lack of nitrogen which can happen late in flower naturally but it doesnt look like a normal fade.
are you using dechlorinated water?
my best guess is thatits a ph issue and the plants arent uptaking as well as they could.
also looks like you may be pushing nutrients too hard.
ill take a look at the whole diary and then send you a message with anything possibly helpful. i need more info than just the pictures.
buds look great overall tho. best of luck 🤙

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktailTo repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?7 months ago

Potassium and Calcium deficiency?Both plants are autos on day 49 after sprouting.
Plants didn't get any fertilizer during veg. I noticed deficiencies about 2 weeks ago, and added BioBizz Bio-Bloom, Top-Max and CalMag to next waterings.
Planning to alternate water and feeding for the rest of the grow.

Nute burn? How to handle?Hi, i guess i made the typical newbie mistake and over-feed a little bit. The plant started to get some brown/yellow tips, mostly the upper part of the plant.
Is it enough to just stop with nutrients and stay with clear water or is there anything else i can/should do?Week 9

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.

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

Lower leafs getting yellow tips and spotsI just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake.
They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.7 months ago
