Just an idea of what has been going on in my grow room. I used Happy Frog as my last grow medium and The problem occured, same nutrients same setup and temps etc. I have switched to roots organics and now having the same problem. I did notice non of my nutes have calcium in them, I went and picked up some cal/mag thinking this might be my problem i have been feeding this for two weeks in strong dose and problem is slowing getting worse. 3 weeks ago they recived a 23gallon flush, the pots are 3 gallons. I did this because i started to see the signs of the problem occuring. I DID NOT fix this problem last time nor has anything worked this time. I have also used Advanced Nutriends "revive" to see if it worked with no luck. My ph meter says its 7.5 and when i take a test of the soil and shake it in the jar with distilled water and test the water it says 6.0ph..But my soil has just recenly jumped to this PH lvl. It has been at 6.5 for a considerable. This should not be a nute lock out. ALL my plants that are in soil are having this problem.
The problem starteds out as white dots being the veins on the bottom leaves. The spots are about pea size. they turn yellow and then turn to a rusty brown. Also during this process my Tips turn yellow and burn and curl as other leaves began to curl up. The problem moves its way up to the top and makes the total plant look burned up like heat but its not heat stress or anything. I have researched this problem for over the past 4 months with no sucess i would love to find a solution. I have read site and problem sites and threads and im still here. I would like to add gnats were around the garden possilbe they laid eggs but i let the soil compltetely dry out to help take care of them a bit. I do not foliage feed. My hydro plants are grow with the same nutrients with no problems. Might help as well.. thanks guys hope someone could fix this problem. i added 4 pic max the last pic i posted in the text is what it looks likes later on in the process.
