Mottling shiny spots in leaves/ nitrogen claw
Jerseyfresh39
started 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

What’s with this Odd growth rate and leaf pattern
Stunted growth on 16 day old northern lights auto. 1/3 coco 2/3 fox farms ocean floor. gave it a minor dose of cal mag plus just in case this is a developing deficiency. It has three nodes but it is very small at approximately 1.5-2 inches. The pattern may be genetic?

I'd like to know what happened to my plant but I'm unsure how to properly describe it. The photos in my diary should be able to make it more clean (W18). Maybe it was botrytis but I caught it on time? Or maybe something else? The trichomes got dark orange where all this happened!

Burned or finishing early?
So I'm very torn about what's going on with my Jack 47 Auto. There's part of me that feels I may have burned her, and another part that thinks she's just finishing early. I have details in the diary. Any insight about what I did "wrong" would be great!

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?
Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms. I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day. So please have a look and see if you know what might be happening

Hydroponics, i need a second or third pro opinion. Just a Deficiency? bad pH? (I alreadt did a partial water reservoir change tho)
Yoyoyo! If someone of knowledge could help me here, I would be grateful So I think it's a Magnesium deficiency, caused either from my too low pH (5.2) or too much CalMag (only used 1,5ml on 10L) I gave a more in-detail description on my diary. lower leafs are "crispy", not smooth

Hi growdiaries, Got a couple of issues on my plants here. The last 4 pictures show the problems, firstly there are holes appearing in the leaves and it looks like something is eating them. Haven't seen anything alive. Also a few spots appearing. Mould? Had bad air for a bit.
