Mottled brown patches on leaves

[NoFksNate]

Hi guys,

I think this is a nutrient deficiency, lower leaves getting mottled brown patches and starting to die during flowering?? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

What is the Ph ?
soil? Coco ?

looks like phosphorus deficiency..

Thanks, its my first time, I'll buy PH meter, the soil is just regular garden soil from a shop with some fertiliser added. I'm not sure what coco is =(.

Thanks =)

So you are growing in soil.
If you don’t know what the Ph is, then I would suggest that first.
Have you been reading about the Ph in soil etc.? On the main site ? Or else I would also suggest that..

coco is another medium, not relevant here.

I been using tomato soil all my years of growing for a bag of 50Litre for 5$. So it can easily be done without a “cannabis” soil bought from cannabis companies.

Thank you. I have read about PH, will hopefully be able to manage this problem from now on. Thanks again =)

Hi, so the PH is 7, does this explain the phosphorous deficiency?? Thanks

It could maybe. It’s in the high area of the PH range.
When you water try give it around 6,3-6,5. Nutrients are absorbed in different ranges between 6,2-7,0

Thank you, I used sulphur on the soil, calculated the volume to reduce pH by 0.5. Hopefully this works. I'll have to learn how to reduce PH with watering.

Appreciate the help.

Measure the Ph in the water. If you want to lower it I use citric acid from organic lemons. Been doing that since the start of my growing.

Thanks, I'll have buy a proper meter, at the moment I just bought this little test kit (indicator + white powder).
