Mottling shiny spots in leaves/ nitrogen claw
Jerseyfresh39started grow question 6y ago
What is the cause of the mottling on these leaves is it some sort of toxicity? Please look at my last diary entry (week 4) for info on recent feeding.

Hi @booberry39 it seems to me over-fertilization, just give water with PH adjusted to 6 for a good day and wait for your plant to recover before giving it feeds again. good luck mate 👍

It's over feeding. Just give it plain water and let the planta feed itself on the soil

Recurring Cal Mag issuesI’m already at the maximum recommended cal mag dose of 1ml/litre (with nutes at 1000ppm or E.C. 2.0) and I’m still facing issues.
It went away for a few days, but it’s now back.
Should increase the cal mag dose and cut back on the macro nutes to maintain 1000ppm?5y ago

Any help identifying this leaf issue?Hi everyone, I have a couple of issues popping up on Medea's leaves, and I'm not sure what they are. She's in week three now, and otherwise looks healthy (if growing a little slower than usual). Her last feed (3 days ago) was her first one with a 1/2 dose of the GH trio (0.3ml/L)Leaves.

Little browinish/beige dots near leaf veinsI noticed some weird little browinish/beige dots near the veins of some leaves, mostly the upper/center ones, those exposed to the light. I checked for bugs everywhere, even with the jewel loupe, and I haven't see one. What can it be? Maybe heat/light stress?Week 11

Just to confirm, this looks like nute burn, doesn't it?Burnt edges, tips curled up, canoeing. I've been having trouble balancing airflow and heat in such a small tent, and as a result the tent is on average about 28 degrees celcius daytime and the plants still get a lot of wind. Looking for whatever advice you can give! :)5y ago

Ph of feeding is always okay (6.3-6.7) , yet the runoff shows 7.0-7.1.
Ec in is always around 1.3. Runoff shows 1.5.... Today I added a little bit of cal/mg...Week 6

Am I right that the brown spots on one of the plants are an indication of calcium and/or magnesium deficiency? I ordered some CalMag Extra from Advanced Nutrients; should arrive soon. Would/should I apply this only one time or add to the regular feeding schedule?Week 7
