Hello growmies, I have a problem on my hands, I think. There is small yellow circles appearing in the middle of the Fan leaves. I’m about 4-5 weeks into flower I think. My humidity and temps have been alright. What could it be ?

What kind of medium are you growing in? Nutrients? Are you checking eunoff ppm and ph? The dark waxy look of the leaves looks like a nitrogen overload. Have you checked real close for pests? Under the leaves as well?
@ChittyChittyBangin I am using a mixture of fox farms soil
The top layer has happy frog for the seedling about 1/4 the middle has about 2/4 of ocean forest and the bottom of the pot has 1/4 of strawberry fields. I have not been doing any nutrient feeding only watering and no I don’t have a Ph meter I saw they are about $120 and not in a position to buy one yet. And yeah I don’t have any pest I have a magnifying lens also and don’t see anything.
Is it a calcium deficiency or leaf septoria?

If possible I would start feeding. Looks she might be hungry.

Oh okay I was seeing good and bad reviews
Like what? The closest hydroponic store with actual good nutes is like 1 hour away
You could always try the ole Amazon.

I don’t mind taking the drive but what deficiency is it so I know.
I don’t want to discourage you from the taking the drive and meeting other growers and see what’s available out there.
Looks like calcium to me. Cannabis uses more calcium in early flower than any other nutrient, this is why it’s considered a secondary macronutrient.

I have a gallon of calcium I made from eggshells and vinegar. It doesn’t have the Mag tho. So would I be able to give it that to help.

I have heard if this combination but vinegar is very acidic and will drop the ph, even organic soil.

Well I let the egg shells sit in vinegar to break down the calcium. It’s water with powdered egg shelf’s not vinegar
Gypsum will be your best source of calcium quickly, but you would benefit from a balanced diet not just a one type supplement.
Well the pot has flowering soil at the bottom
This is an absolute must when growing in soil. Cannabis needs a specific pH range to effectively uptake nutrients. Unless giving RO or distilled water, then proper pH’ing isn’t necessary.
What is your water source? If using tap or well, it’s important to know the PPM’s and pH of your water going in and coming out.
FF soils hold between 4-6 weeks of nutrients, before it’s time to start feeding. You need a TDS meter so that you can measure the runoff PPM’s. When they are at 1000 or less, start feeding.
Unless you’re growing in totally organic or living soil, I don’t recommend using this. Vinegar is VERY acidic and without being able to measure the pH or PPM of your water/nutrient solution, you could cause further harm and then it could be really hard to fix.
You can get just about any quality cannabis nutrient product here. Or on EEbay. The easiest and best for your buck is Jack’s 321 system. Very gentle on the plants and lasts many grows.
This won’t matter after so many weeks. The plant will have depleted the soil and manual feeding will be required.
I highly recommend, a cannabis friendly nutrient line, such as Jack’s, Fox Farms (not cheap and takes a lot of mixing), or General Hydroponics.
Unless growing in living soil, in which microbes and fungus do all the work in the soil, then using a cannabis friendly nutrient line is required along with all the proper pH’ing.

Lol well I’m broke Af right now so tbh I have no idea what to do at the moment. I can’t spend money on both
You can get a ph pen that does four things for $35 dollars off eBay it does ph,ec,ppm,and total salts and temp of ur water well it does five things lol. I would check for bugs in ur garden check under leaves and check everything

Let her run then if that the situation,
Back the light off a bit, less nutrient demand And let her ripen up. You got some good looking flowers. Few weeks or so left.
