G'day growmies 👋 Just a question about one of my plants, I've never really run into an issue like this, and not the best at identifying deficiency/toxicity issues done everything the same with all my plants, but 1 is light green with brown spots on some of the leaves. Ideas?
Solved

Hey there I know for sure 100% the problem and the solution The soil ph is way to low causing lockout when you water if you collect some of the run off water from the bottom the pot and check the ph it will be down around 5 or below The solution is simple if possible take the plants to the bathtub and run about 5 to 10 gallon of tap water thru the soil most tap water is ph around 7 to 8.5 this schools being up the soil ph and wash out any old nutrients in the soil make sure after running all the tap water thru the soil to water a few cups of water with nutrients after the tap water so the plant has some nutrients to absorb the tap water is just correcting the soil ph so the plant is able to absorb nutrients Good luck if you don’t fix the problem you will start to get more and more of those spots all over the poant

Make sure to dechlorinate your water. maybe check your local water report and check if theres chloramine in your water. Traditional methods like letting your water sit out, wont get rid of chloramine. The yellowing with the brown spots is classic magnesium and calcium issues. but i mentioned the chloramine because chlorine toxicity has similar markings as calcium deficiency. also check ph and make sure everything is in the correct range.
