So I use fox farm ocean forest. With fox farm nutes at 3/4 strength. I use cal/mag a couple times to see if that would fix it. I have flushed a couple times. Ph around is 6.5 every time I water. I use water only ever other feeding. (RO wateris used)
I do use optic foliar "overgrow" Ive searched this website and others to find what is wrong. I can figure it out! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

looks very similar to same thing I got going on my newest plant. hoping to post pics and ask for opinions in the morning. will see what we both get for answers. only third grow so new and at a loss on this one. all new growth in roots leaves and stem doing great so hoping doesn't spread and kill her outright.

I will try to post some pics soon. Water comes from a local shop. I haven't tested run off in a while. I will have to wait a couple day to do that. The plants over all are pretty health. Most of the spots show up on the bottom leaves. I only have a couple leaves that look as bad as the one above. Thanks for the help guys!

I run my DWC system closer to the bottom of the scale for ph (5.5-6.2 is the scale) so your ph is too high... I use botanicare pure blend pro full line and never had any nute burn of any kind so can't help u there but I would start by bringing your ph down, I've found that my plants look healthier and stronger when I run my ph around 5.6-5.7 but I DWC n that totally diff than dirt so?

hey fozzy mines a lot younger but had same as yours. searched ph on the gwe page and they have a graph of what ph different chems absorb and they say some fluctuation is good. started new water change just under 6 ph and let it climb as it does. working out by the time its getting to high its time for a water change. pretty much have the damaged leaves trimmed and things are looking good. good luck

Hi Fozzy
Since this is the first grow let me just say I hear people saying between 5.50 and 6.50 , it is BEST at 6.00 because MY OPINION the ph can now fluctuate up or down and you're covered. With my dwc grows the temps can get chilly and in the morning my ph at 6.00 when the lights go out and by morning the ph is at 5.80. Hot weather also changes the ph stress from the plant changes it.
If you can be consistent with keeping it at 6.00 and not over water, or let it sit in water you have a fantastic crop.
I'm growing a strain that doesn't like ph'd water sprayed on it and had little spots on a leaf .
I do like the K.I.S.S acronym (keep it simple sexy!)(never liked stupid) don't add anything extra until you do 1 grow .
Have fun with it!
