i would say its either magnesium, or manganese.

im leaning towards magnesium. is this an older fan leaf or a newer one? if i understand correctly, macro defeciencies affect older growth first and micro defciencies the newer growth.

old leaf magnesium

new leaf manganese.


im not a doctor but thats my diagnosis.

i take that back it looks like magnesium, with some calcium starting.

also how are you all getting these huge ass pictures in your posts? when i upload a picture it always gets resized to under 800px.

those leaves in the picture come from near the top part of the plant?

Can you take pictures of the plant that is having the problem as well? Leaf sometimes does not explain the whole situation......
You say the ones in the picture come from lower half of the plant?

WHat are you using to pH balance your water? That picture of that leaf shows some heat stress, or high nute issue, because the leaves edges are curling and showing some slight bleaching possibly........ if not, I agree it does look like calcium problem starting, but I will say there is more than one problem with that leaf pic, you got more than one issue going on...... 1,000 watt hps at 1-1.5 feet is way too damn close, you should raise that light up a bit.

What are you using to test your pH? How long is your dripping time?

The tap water is pH'ed with GH ph down dry solution. I was thinking a bit of light bleach as well, the light is currently at the very top of the tent so there is no more room to go up, these girls have certainly reached maximum allowable height in this new DR150. I had anticipated a little less stretch, which could be contributed to the new larger pots that are being used (2.2 gallon).

I made a custom table that is 2' tall, and the the bottom of my air cooled Super Sun 2 sits approx. 1' from the top of the cab, leaving around 3.5' of vertical space for the plants from table to reflector. I can place my hand on the glass of the reflector, so heat doesn't seem to be all that bad. My dripping time is for 5 minutes, 3 times daily (although these particular drippers don't emit much). I went ahead and flushed the plant with straight pH water, lowered the res ppm, and put a few more drippers in the plant as it was showing signs of underwatering, although it's damn hard to phase these cindy's.

The that leaf was taking from the middle of the plant, right off the main stem which is feeding a large middle cola.

Your plants are 3 feet tall in 2 gallon size pots? Dude that plant has to be rootbound......

Ya core, that ppm is high, but with the size of the plant it depends, but most of the time that amount is too high for the plant even at the 3 feet stage.

If that was taken in the middle then show some more pics cause you may have either calcium lockout going or deficiency, but I am sure that high ppms you got going is causing an issue.

what ppm do you have it at now?
