Can any vets help identify this deficiency?

Indoor Growing
1

Hey. This is my 2nd grow using a hydro top feed method. Plants have been healthy throughout the veg cycle and I started flowering about a week ago. Just changed the reservoir yesterday and today one single leaf is showing signs of some type of deficiency. I am growing Gold Leaf which is a 60/40 indica hybrid that grows like a sativa (real tall). The problematic leaf is a large fan leaf near the top of the plant and also pretty close to the light. I have ruled out light burn because there are a few higher leaves that look healthy.

pH was about 6.1 when I changed the rez and now has fallen to about 5.9. PPM is a bit high at 1800 so I am adding some pH’d water to bring it down. The leaf is showing clear signs of yellowing (bright) between the veins. Although the leaf is high up, it is not new growth because it is already a very large fan leaf. That is making the forensics harder for me. What is weird is that only this single leaf is showing these symptoms all others look relatively healthy.

My initial thoughts: iron deficiency or magnanese deficiency.

Any help would be appreciated.

Forgot to mention I also am using Cali-Magic (Cal-mag supplement) and hydroguard.

Does it look like this ?

..Odd leaf curl - #58 by Paranorman

… I’m not saying it is, but it kind of looks like that picture ?
-good luck!

Hey thanks for the link. It does have a bit of a curl to it, but I don’t see any of those specs. It is pretty clean other than the yellowing. It also doesn’t look quite as dark green. I don’t believe it is any type of fungus/mold.

7

Also the pics in the link show yellowing in the veins, not between the veins like mine.

8

Yeah you’re right it’s probably totally different

…it’s just looks the same that’s why I wanted to show you the link

…also it started in one leaf at the top like that too…

So it looks the same and started the same, but it’s probably totally different like you say

-best of luck

How far are lights? If a 600w in 6 foot space may tight. Not heat but lumens.

10

It looks totally different man, not sure what your seeing.

11

Well I only showed you one leaf, I got plenty I can match for you I suppose ?

… I’m not saying that’s it I’m just saying it’s the same symptoms

…if you start getting more leafs like that you’ve already got a link
-good luck

take a peek here…

Thanks for the link, it’s a lot better than the site I use for forensics. Seems to me to be an iron deficiency since some of the new growth looks a bit pale. I still need to figure out what is causing it though. In the last rez change I gave the plant its first flowering ratio of nutes. Maybe the plant is reacting poorly to the ratio or perhaps I did not properly mix the nutes and have caused some kind of blockage. I am going to flush it and give it a new rez to see if it helps.

I was wondering myself if that’s nutes or beginning of a light burn? Mike

Sorry, I got a better look and now feel it is nutrition. Possibly phosferous
