Dude, I’ve heard you mention the line of nutrients I’m using, the Flora Nova two part veg/bloom. You said they’re fine but you’d wouldn’t go with them alone. I assume you’d add some other things to it? What other nutrients or micro-nutrients would you recommend to balance it out? I have small brown spots pretty consistently leading up to harvest. none in veg. The buds are fine as wine but the leaves look riddled. I didn’t take any good photos this time. Sorry. I have a few fungus gnats but are no bugs anywhere on the leaves. I’ve scoped it a thousand times. Believe me, I know spider mite damage. (shudder) from 1 to 250,000 in two weeks and I had them all. Nuke em from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure. Lol. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Scotty, stay safe man, peace.
Could be calcium if lower in the canopy or manganese if higher in the canopy. Sometimes excess of certain nutrients can lockout out some nutrients. Also ph can lockout nutrients. Always good to check runoff ph and ppm. The extras dude might add are things like massive from green planet. He adds biostimulants like tricantanol, chitosan, kelp, humic/fulvics, fish, guano and other things like that. Helps to round out the salt based nutrient. The main bottles should provide a complete balanced nutrition for the plants.
Hmmm… I tried a cal/mag first and it didn’t do anything.
Thanks though. When it happens next time I’ll shoot the leaves.
I really needed the pics.
I too have been using nothing but these nutrients and I have the same problem looks great in veg then when I switch to bloom I get the spots on the leaves. I thought it was cal or mag and I started using a lil sensi cal mag but on those plants I believe the damage was done. I have some younger ones probably in flower for 3 weeks now I started adding a lil bit of cal mag to the mix on them on day 1 of flower and only add it every few feeds I’m in coco and hand watering at 5.8 ph give or take a point . and I’m doing RO water in between every feed. I check my run off ppm and ph every thing seems to be inline and so far week 3 of these new ones and no spots so far… I also have not been hammering these ones with ppms I been staying under 600 ppms I water as soon as the lights come on every morning and feed water feed water….
