Brown dying leaves
What is going on with my leaves? Even the sugar leaves are starting to die. Sprayed with optic foliar switch to prevent male flowers popping up a few weeks ago so could be that.

Emerging Issues - Week 9
At the beginning of the week, I noticed the tips of the leaves drying out. Now, one out of the four plants has completely yellow leaves. Could it be due to the increased Biobizz Bloom dosage? For more information, please check my journal. Regards.

Continuing calmag deficiency
What I think is a calmag deficiency started about 10 days ago. At first I thought it was too low PH (6.0 - 6.1), so I corrected that, but no luck. Then I started adding biobizz calmag, still no luck. It seems that the deficiencies are picking up speed again. Any ideas appreciated

Nutrient deficiency? If yes, what's the best course of action to salvage the situation?
First time grower of 3 autos, at week 8, lower leaves started turning yellow, top leaves started to get smaller/develop brown spots 2 weeks ago. Is this a nutrient deficiency problem? Soil should have been fertilized for 3 months, but I'm thinking they burned through it.

Calcium deficiency, cal-mag now in hand, water now, or wait for normal scheduled water? Last water yesterday.
Plants are suffering from an early stage of calcium deficiency, received a bottle of cal-mag today. Watered last night cause I didn't want to wait any longer. Should I wait for my next water (2 more days) or give a single dose of Cal-mag now, to get some calcium to the plant?

Deficiencies while in late flowering during flushing period
There is deficiency going on (looks like cal) she is an auto flowering strain in her 9th week and been flushed for a week now. Should I give her cal/mag and stop the flushing or is it too late to deal with that? She looks like she will be ready to chop in a week or so.

Hey Guys, need your help please. It's FD 28 and the leaves of my three White Widows show some signs of a nutrient deficiency (at least my assumption).I'm growing in living soil w/o any additional fertilizer and watering with a 7:3 mix of osmose/tap water and 0,5 ml/l CalMag.

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. Started around 6th week

Deficiency?? Excess? Neither?
Grown this strain before and had the same issue.. not sure if its a CalMag deficiency entirely. pH has remained at 6.0-6.5 or so in soil and didnt show signs until recently, seemed to have worsened after just two days of only CalMag and Ro water so I bumped up the bloom nutes.
