Help with deficiency identification
Pepe_Lapewstarted grow question 16 days ago
I'm having some type of deficiency that I don't feel comfortable identifying, cause lots look the same to me.
Started on 2 leaves top cola about 1 week ago. The spot in the picture on the side and 1 more on top cola again showed up yesterday.

Too much nitrogen, not enough potassium and phosphorous......imo.
Does not look like a calcium issue to me.

Looks like your soil ph is to low run a few gallons of tap water thru the soil it will stop

Familiaize yourself with a tool for this, such as KiS Organic's Dichotomous key for cannabis... it covers IPM and nutrient phenomenon

My opinion would be calcium deficiency, possibly combined with some magnesium issues – the brown spotting between the veins and near the leaf edges? Or salt build up and lockup of secondarys.
Anyway you got a rather quick genetic. So perhaps don't mind and just push through the last ~2? weeks if it doesn't get too worse. Natural senescence is probably on the way or part of it.
Much more important would you pls. check your canopy like NoVC01 said? It looks more than shady and some flowers are looking squished.

Looks like calcium splotches but it also looks like its getting over fed.
You monitoring your EC and getting good runoff if its in a soilless medium?
Light burn looks diffrent to me but that could also be it.

Try light burn. Have you forgotten to adjust your canopy.

Why does my pH keep changing in Germany? I set my water at 5.9 then it shifts 3-4 times over few hours, causing lockout if I water my plants with it, In Ireland, I never had this issue. Using Advanced Nutrients A+B, Big Bud, Overdrive. Could German water be the problem? Any fixesLeaves. Tips - Burnt

What is happening to her?I noticed a few stains starting to appear. The old tips are kind of burned and the new are a little yellow. I fed her with a compost tea but with nutrients on it, maybe was overfed?
Could be PH issues? It's possible, I couldn't take the ph on the last two times I watered her.Week 3

First grow, random seed, no idea if it’s auto or not, and wondering if I’ve over fertilized.Hello grow masters! I’m on my first ever grow, and on a slim budget. After buying some equipment, I decided to try to germ some old, random seeds to start, and buy good feminized seeds when I have more cash. 1 female worked out, but no idea of strain or if auto or not.

Brown/burnt spots on 1 plant onlyHello,
D49 (out of 70 theoritically) same strain, same nutes but only one plant looks affected (top right). Looks like it started 2 or 3 days ago.
Could it be nute burns ou some kind of lockout?
If yes should I flush or could i only give tap water for a few waterings?3 months ago
