Is This A Real Problem?

[AKRevo47]

I have a couple plants showing these rust colored spots and theyre getting darker by the day. It isnt affecting all the leaves on the plants that have it and not all the plants have this problem. I did foilar feed some Hygrozyme and water that was meant for clones (PH was 5.5 of the solution). Any ideas???

Bump

Anyone? I think it might actually be spreading

at first glance I say nute burn or heat burn from spraying them. but looking at the bottom of the pic, very blurry, almost looks like u r getting some intervienal yellowing in the first pic. It is either too much nutes, stress from the light/spray or mg or k deficiency. didnt post ur feeding info so cant tell

Are you growing in soil? Couldn't tell. Your spots do look like a nute burn. If you are in soil, you may want to check the pH of your runoff, too -- overnutes often cause pH drop, too. If this is spreading, flush your pots with a 3X volume of water.. this should arrest it (although it may continue to spread for a couple days after as the plant processes the excess already up in the leaves.

wondering where you heard overnutes leads to ph drop.

I notice when plants are suking up alot of N the ph usually drops a bit.

uhh because nutrient solutions are typically low in pH. So too many nutes in the soil will not only burn the roots (nute burn) but will also lower the pH of the soil and cause lockout.

The burns look like it is from a lack of Maganese (MG) , to help this, flush your medium and make sure your ph is at 5.5, also make sure that your PPM is not too high. Anything over 1400 burns the plant.

Hope this helps

ok, havent heard this before and was wondering if you had actual proof or from experience. The grow nutes usually lower ph and the bloom usually raise it.

My experience is with Foxfarm stuff -- it's like battery acid out of the bottle; both grow and bloom. I've pH'ed the nutes directly from the bottle (off the chart on the acid side) and the solution (full strength = 4.5 when starting with 8.0 tap water). Don't know about other brands, but this stuff DEF needs to be balanced before you pour it in.

It looks like a cal-mag deficiency, had this problem b4, not all my plants had it, it was very erratic. Try the cal-mag from bontanicare, fixed my problems.

flush that bitch and continue with a 1/4 strength nutrient solution....or my personal favorite mix 1/4 strength GROW nutes with all micro-nutes in it into your flush, it will balance out PH issues along with ensuring some nutrient uptake if it is a lockout, to me it doesnt look like nute burn though

problem is its easy to get the cal-mag which i love the stuff, but if it is a lockout problem it wont take, he can foliar feed with it for now, on second though it does look like a calcium or MG i get those 2 confused these days...friggin gunjah

looks like you mightve just burnt it from foliar feeding... but flush as previously suggested. and you should def get some cal mag.......... i use the whole line of botanicare... i use my tap water(ph 8.0+) when im done adding all my nutes..... 6.5 gotta love it. Pe@ce.....

 

[jordisgarden]

are you foliar feeding then putting them under light? it looks like water drops magnifying the light to me. but you can just flush it till water is coming out the bottom a lot of it. i use 4 gallons to a 5 gallon bucket to flush, then wait and see. future notice, only use nutes at 1/3rd strength at first.

Thanks for all the replies!

As for what im feeding, Im using nothing but FF and my PH is at a solid 6.5 I feed one day with nutes at the recommended dosage and the next time I water (Which is usually 2-3 days later) when plain 6.5 PH water. Im growing in soil (Ocean forest w/ a little light warrior) And to be honest I have yet to check the run-off.

I did foilar feed while they were under the light.

I will start to flush them but I have some issues with the cal/mag def. I havent had any problems with the plants in flower right now and I used the same dosage and watering method and its only on some plants and some leaves. Its not effecting all the plants or all of the ones that have it.

I owe a few of you some rep, so thanks again

 

[Jtoth3ustin]

no prob man.. i dont check my run-off either. just keep your waterings and feedings PH'ed right and your good.. Pe@ce..

go to the very first post on here and match your picture with the picture they have up there and you'll know what it is
