Tangerine Dream Deficiency...

R.E.L. · Jun 5, 2011

So I'm trying to grow some Tangerine Dream but it seems like some of the leaves end up looking like crap. They start out healthy and green then they go towards brown spots to the finished photo below. I thought it was a Magnesium Calcium deficiency but they still continue to look like this after using Cal/Mag. This is the only strain I'm having issues with. I use all Fox Farm Nutrients and soil plus Botanica Cal/Mag. PLEASE HELP! THANKS!!!

Hmmmmm, I replied to this thread with pics, but just like my new thread, but none of my posts are showing up. They just disappear!!! WTF??!! Is someone messing with me?

I'll try again. I had the same issue with TD. One of my plants had the same spotting, and it also never greened-up. I tried all remedies, and nothing worked. I ran out of space, so I tossed her. I too use FF nutes & soil only. Okay, let's try these pics again. I don't have the pic of my deficient plant, but I got some of TD flowering:

What is UP with the formatting!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have this issue posting in other forums!!!!!!!!!!!

I had some yellow spots occur on two leaves on one of my TD plants when they were young, the other one has never had issues. I Flushed and backed off the nutes and the spots have never happened again. That plant is touchy with the nutes, while the other TD I have has perfectly healthy leaves, not a blemish at all. I'll bloom clones off each before I decide which to keep as a mother... But I'm sure it'll be the non-sensitive to nutes plant.

You probably have a real touchy one. Instead of upping the cal mag, maybe flushing and backing way off the nutes would be better. Assuming you had the right ph etc.
