since the topic came up recently and I am having trouble finding the answers I am looking for and brother E-Mo is always so forgiving, even inviting, of others posting pics here, I thought I would ask if anyone can help point me to a thread to help me diagnose deficiencies. I have searched and searched and haven't found pics that look exactly like mine, I have rust spots that are very uniform and circular almost like mite bites but there are no bugs, it is a nute problem and I thought it was Cal-Mag so last couple changes I added as per directions. This time around the spots are less perfectly round and uniform. The pics were taken with my new blue filter and still look just a little tinted under the HPS, the rest don't look quite so orange as this, weird. It seems this plant is getting close to finishing and lots of fan leaves are lightening up with mostly cloudy trichs and mostly brown hairs but they aren't filled nearly as much as I'd like or thought would happen. These are AK48 by nirvana, site says 48 day finisher hence the name and these are about day 40ish, however, real people are saying closer to 8 weeks. I am thinking about starting the flush soon because I am getting worried they are getting that close, maybe even starting the flush too late already.View attachment 4029455
Looks like foliar feeding damage?...... with cal/ mag it's imperative you know the tds of the water in use, filtered, tap, ro,well, etc. .....Before adding more

It shouldn't be foliar, I don't foliar feed. My growth rate is far too aggressive already and unless I need to in order to address a specific issue....

My tap is under 200, can't remember exactly but I think around 150. I considered getting RO but just don't want to yet and don't want to waste that much water either. I added to one feed as an assumption and knee jerk to see if it worked. I can't really tell yet, I need to remove those damaged leaves and see what happens next

huh, not spray damage , do you have other pics to gauge better?..............yeah you're borderline on TDS, 150+ is a high mineral content for growing, plenty of cal/mag already, don't need to add any extra. It could be the issue ? should get some market RO / distilled water to alternate between tap and see if it helps.

Well there's a watermill a couple miles away with $1 per 5 gals of water at a super low ppm, like 5 or under. I think I forgot to mention, not that it's a huge deal, but I don't know and honestly don't care what the conversion factor is or what the EC is. I've seen some long screaming arguments about that here and elsewhere and just divorced myself of that concern. I'll get more pics of different parts next time I go in.

The only way it could be spray damage is if it's coming from inside my buckets which is entirely possible, I'll have to investigate that to see. I did have a bad seat on one pot in its lid and had to mop up time before, maybe that's it

I have 100ppm if I dont use cal/mag in coco and full nutes I will get deficiency?

It looks like a classic case of calcium deficiency to me.

That's what I was thinking, why I added the cal-mag last two changes. That chart is the one I saw or pretty much a copy. Didn't look exact to me but the closest possible match.

I will check the light shining through thing when I get pics tomorrow

Haven't heard from the dark lord in a few days, hope all is well with him

@Evil-Mobo The wheat straw on top of your planters may be where your getting bugs from. I've seen many grows with bamboo have bug problems too. I'm not a pro no till dude just throwing it out there.
This happened before in the same tent with no straw. So I think it might have been in the dirt that came from outside. Only tent and same as last time. The plants will be done in a day or so. I used ocean forest as part of the mix in there and it gave me bugs not the first time it has happened with this product. I do appreciate the input and you're 100% correct the straw can cause this.

Me? I've just been sick brother more than usual and my head ain't in a good place right now and I know what's doing it one of my.meds calling the doctor tomorrow. Been very low on stash from two fucked up runs and had to start taking this med again and the dose is very high.

I'm on and have been on Norontin/Gabapentin for the last 5 years. It seems to be the new throw it at you drug the docs are pumping out. I'm on 300mg three times a day. If you need someone to talk to brother PM me here.

Here's some shots of the garden tonight. End of the week I will be ordering more of the cobs for half the 4x8 and the next run will be the COB's on one side and the 600 watt hps on the other.

This is the "nursery"
