Fillling out support ticket helps greatly. Possibly mag deficiency. ---

thanks, I think you’re right as I had this early on. Also, Ive never seen a support form, where would I find it on web page? Thanks so much, Polly ---

@Myfriendis410 posted a copy of the support ticket. Looks like calcium deficiency to me. But more info would be helpful. ---

@pollymex5000, Welcome to ILGM AND TO OUR awesome community of awesome fokes. Here are some pic’s of what you have and then the fix. ![brown%20spots%2301%20-%20Copy](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/b/4/bb4764ef8d01d3467fdafebed6b9545a6550ac6a.jpeg) ![brown%20spots%2301](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/f/7/f79f58dc23118bb3dfb65445bd27e79985e6dc1d.png) A magnesium deficiency, as manganese deficincies are mostly characterized by interveinal chlorosis which is a yellowing of the leaves between the veins with the veins remaining green. The browning spots is called marginal necrosis which is usually caused by a calcuim or magnesium deficiency. A magnesium deficiency can be quickly resolved by watering with 1 tablespoon Epsom salts/gallon of water. Until you can correct nutrient lockout, try foliar feeding. That way the plants get all the nitrogen and Mg they need. The plants can be foliar fed using ½ teaspoon/quart of Epsom salts (first powdered and dissolved in some hot water). When mixing up soil, use 2 teaspoon dolomite lime per gallon of soil. If the starting water is above 200 ppm, that is pretty hard water, that will lock out mg with all of the calcium in the water. Either add a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts or lime (both will effectively reduce the lockout or invest into a reverse osmosis water filter. Mg can get locked-up by too much Ca, Cl or ammonium nitrogen. Don’t overdo Mg or you’ll lock up other nutrients. Calcium deficiencies are difficult to distinguish visually as excess calcium may produce deficiencies in magnesium and potassium.
