SOIL pale brownish spots on leaves

[froopienooples]

Hi everyone,

I've been seeing these weird pale brownish spots on the lower leaves of my plant, there also drooping. does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?
I'm using a qb280 as my lightsource. the temperature has been steady at 23°C for the past week with humidity around 65%. they are in their fourth week now.
as feed i'm just using these organic tablets, that i've been using without a problem for the past couple of grows.

What is your Ph levels ? In your water feeding and the soil ?

[froopienooples]

I don't have a ph meter, because i was always told when growing with organic nutrients in soil, you don't really need it...

[CaptainWiese91]

What soil are you using ?
It’s not so much the organic nutes. It’s more the soil you are using ?

[CaptainWiese91]

Is the soil just organic ? Or is it a living organic soil ?

[froopienooples]

it's just organic.
It's this local brand a lot of people in the netherlands use, and i've never had any problems with it...
also only 2 of the 3 plants seem to be having a problem.
thanks for the reply's so far by the way

If it’s not an living soil. You still need to monitor the ph even if you are using organic nutes.
Every plant is different, even the soil on every pot with the PH. And the buffer zone in the soil is also different.
Many people are lucky it all fits together. I had some grows where is all where good.
My suggestion is check the Ph in water and soil first.

Could it be light burn from water collecting on the leaves?

[froopienooples]

i've thought about that, but it seems weird that it's only affecting the lower parts.
I just ordered a ph meter, seems reasonable to check out that route.

[CaptainWiese91]

That is why I don’t think it’s light burn.

[CaptainWiese91]

It’s a good start to lockout that question- because a ph that is out of range it can‘t absorb the required nutrients, is actually pretty common with symptoms. And the first starter to problems.

[CaptainWiese91]

And it’s the most easiest to fix, before diagnosis any other problems. If from the start it was the PH that was wrong

[CaptainWiese91]

What size are your pots ?

[CaptainWiese91]

I don’t think you have dificiencies. Because you write you are givinf nutes. When I read a little further on symptoms - phosphorus give that kind of marks if it’s missing it. But if the PH is wrong it can’t absorb the nutrients in the soil because of a lockout

[froopienooples]

yeah i'm going to check it out, hopefully i get my meter before the end of the week...

[CaptainWiese91]

And do you feed the plant with Cal-Mag ? Or is there cal-mag in your organic nutes?

[CaptainWiese91]

Im usinor General hydroponics. But all my other stuff is CANNA and so next time I’ll be buying CANNA’s cal mag. But my plants are doing pretty well with GH.

I live I Portugal and are using my tap water, straight. As long as the Ph fits, you are going to be fine 👍🏻

[froopienooples]

ok, thanks for all the advice man,
Happy growing!

[CaptainWiese91]

No problem mate. Just come back if it’s continue to make some problems👍🏻
