Good morning grow family. Well I’m so disappointed that I can’t get a handle on this issue I’m having. I need to know what I can do to prevent this from happening before it happens. Is there something I’m not adding to my soil or is it my soil or I just have a brown thumb. I have been adding Epsom to every other watering. I use super charge once a week I add silica once a week. I use probiotics once a month. I water with filtered water. I purchased a water filter that is supposed to filter out chlorine and chloramine. I am set to top dress roadside organics bloom this weekend. I have two plants with the leaves looking like the pictures below. One plant has a couple leaves that have these spots but not like the other 2. I’m at a loss. Help! :victory_hand:t3::blush:

I would love to put in my two-cents worth, but I lack the experience to be helpful.

Good luck, I am certain that the more experienced growers will chime in.

I’m pretty much like the MerMan. Especially when it comes to dirt grows.
But my 1st thought is calcium deficiency with that spotting :person_shrugging:t2:
Some plants do require more then their neighbors :green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

Morning @Flitme :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: To me it looks like a mix of cal mag and/or potassium. I can’t remember do you use the Potassium Silicate that I use? As for the cal mag I generally use a little epsom salt. You can sprinkle a little right on the dirt or put it in your water, I do 1 tbs in my 2 gallon sprayer

Edit = It could also already there in your dirt but it’s locked up or what I call stuck minerals. I use that yucca extract to rinse or condition the soil it loosens up the minerals and helps it get to the plants easier

I like to ask @Budbrother when it comes to the products you’re using, I don’t really know them.

I do see what looks like your upper leaves trying to shade a little. You could probably dim lights or raise some to slow this down in the meantime.

Looks like a K def issue on chewed leaflets. The other plant with spots shows Ca. What is you Ca source? I see the Mg 2x wk. That needs balance or will lock the K.

Have you been doing any runoff to test ph like said might have lock out and need to reset :thinking:

Ok, I evidently don’t have a source for cal. What do I need to use? :blush::victory_hand:t3:

I have this product.

I didn’t dim my light some. It’s at 950 ppfd instead of 1020.

I use gypsum Ca S. It’s cheap (40# $10), readily available, fast acting (1-2 days) and doesn’t alter pH.

What you have there will work but cut out the Epson use, unless showing def. The Roadside organics uses, moderate release, langbenite and green sand for the K Mg S inputs. This should provide the sustained Mg but needs a Ca boost for early flowering demands.

I just re read that. The stuff you have is gonna compound the issues. It provides more Mg. Although product is balanced, you have thrown off the Mg balance in the pots, so you only need to input Ca to right this.

I have some but it’s pellet form. How much would you use if it was powder?

Pot size? Mine is all pelletized and turns to dust when wet

Good morning grow family. It’s a nippy morning here. 28° and feels like 25, burrrrr. I was sitting in my grow room after watering and I decided to snap a couple pictures of my baby buds. I don’t know if my issue are over or not. I have heard so many different opinions but when is your plant considered in flower? Is it when you first see the white hairs or when the hedges hogs form? :blush::victory_hand:t3:
