What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?) Straight Coco
What Nutrient's are you using? Canna Coco A+B
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* 2,5 ml/l
How often are you feeding? Every three days
If flowering, when did you switch over to using Bloom nutrients? 2 weeks into flower
What order are you mixing your nutrients? (example: veg nutes 1st, bloom 2nd ect)
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used? 1.2-1.4
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"?

What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity) 30-40%

Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when? Yes, Neem in a low dose about 1 week ago.
Are plant's infected with pest's? Fungus gnats, a few plants have had PM also allthough not this one (treated with bacterial remedies)



Please help me with this Rhino. I'm guessing it's a deficiency but I'm not really sure. pH of feedings are always between 5.3 and 5.8.
The bottom leaves and a few big ones higher up are getting crunchy and yellow. It doesn't look only like N def since they get necrotic spots on the leaves and turn real ugly. Veins are more yellow than surrounding matter.

Probably because the plant just looks so dang healthy!
Seriously... low leaves that get little to no light are eventually cannibalized by the plant for the mobile nutrients in their tissues, and sloughed off. The picture you show is of a healthy plant with ONE sick leaf! I wish we all had your problems! :bash head:

stinky, if it was cannibalized for food then there wouldn't be those fungus-looking damages on it... that's my worry really, that i'm missing something... Can't be going around missing stuff, I mean, I want basketball sized buds god-DAMNIT :)

That greyish spot you're talking about- that's only on a few low leaves, right? Dying leaves are more susceptible to pathogens. But you could be seeing a problem from lack of air flow around the bases of the plants. Are you running SOG? Is your plant spacing very tight?
Your day/night swing, temps, %RH, and exhaust all look appropriate though.

If there is a nute problem involved, it's probably coming from your soft water, coco substrate, and lack of calmag. Even runnign coco nutes that compensate for the Ca scavenging problem, if your tap water is soft I'd DEFINITELY cal-mag it up to 250ppm before use, because that low yellow+necrotic pattern is indicative of a calcium problem.

How many leaves are doing what you say?

If its only a few I wouldn't worry about it, that plant looks pretty happy to me.

I know jack all about coco or the nutes, but I thought that what you were using was pretty close to a complete fert?

that leaf structure sure does look like a reveg plant to me, they were clones?

Yeah it is. The canna coco is awesome. Heck, I can't think of a canna product that isn't! I'd always run calmag on soft water just to be perfectly safe, though.

I live on the top floor, so if you can make it up to my window you can stalk me all you want. That's damned impressive.
