BROWN SPOTS AGAIN

[rick-j]

Day 52-- RO water PH'd to 6.5 after nute's, about 5 year old Roleadro COB'S, 4x4 tent, Soil- Happy frog- Nutes- TaNgs auto feed sch. 8 ML. PER GAL. of each, Sensi bloom part A&B. 4 ml. of both bud candy& overdrive, all Advanced nutrients. every 3 days. Started at 5 ml. per gal. of Cal-mag+ by Botanicare, went up to 8 ml. last two feedings. Temp's have been good at 71f-81f-- Low RH--25%-55%. Iv'e looked at the sic pic's, looks like a calcium problem to me. If it is, should I go up or down with the cal-mag? Thanks, I water at 5:00 today.@ Blu

Very Nice!!



I'll TAKE it!!!

Great job ... Gotta couple of week left right??

 

[rick-j]

That was quick, yes she is getting close, thanks. I was worried about those spots, should I be?

Extra points for the snowman!!

Do you have a PK booster in the lineup?? I'd be hitting em with that right now!

Seems like it's getting quite a bit of CalMag+ at the moment ... I'm not sure about upping it - I use about a capful per 5 litres and haven't got any defs .. but each plant reacts differently.

I'd run the diagnostics by the pros ... (@Waira) as i can live with manky leaves at the end!

Looking right on track though IMO!

Thank you very much, I don't have any PK booster, but I will get some today before I water. I'm waiting on @Waira, taged him & @archie gemmill in my new growers journal, they are probably tiered of me buggin them. Looks like a lot of people have leave troubles. Thanks again, keep up the good work and you enjoy your day! Happy Growing--

Pretty common to have leaf issues late in the grow, that being said, this looks like it should be investigated.
I'd slurry test your soil, I used to run fox farms, & would see a pH drift in the soil right about where you are now. Last grow it had slid into the high 5s.

Thanks, the accuate 8 meter was at 6 after watering and 2 different readings after being left in the soil for about 10 min.--- the ph going in was at 6.5, run off was at 6.2. I think that's ok, Those leaves started spotting weeks ago. I've had this similar problem before, it just looks bad. The smoke was ok on my last harvest, but the leaves just looked very bad. Maybe i'm worrying a bit much. Thanks again @Arthur for the input.

I feel your pain @rick-j
You're right, it seems like there is alot of people having trouble getting a handle on the late stage Cal-mag (or other nutrient) deficiencies. Maybe from the increased use of LEDs in home grows? Maybe there is also an influx of newbies like me as legalization occurs or at least a higher acceptance of weed.
But, like you said, the leaves look kinda bad but the harvest is still alright. I'll still strive to grow healthy plants and keep trying.
