Rusty dots starting at leaf tip

Hey guys, the only real symptom is on one leaf. It's on the middle of the plant, what do you guys think? I'm in organic soil, was thinking something to do with cal or mag.

any chance that was near the light in the near past?
doesn't look to be a def of any kind to me, looks more like simple leaf damage
you need more light though my man
i'd get me a good LED or maybe a 400w HID
cram another three plants in there

Definitely a possibility man! I'll keep check on it to see what happeneds. My Sunshine daydream seeds will be here in about a week, and I'll have them under this light.

My concern was the dots on the leaf tip, that can happen from being too close to the light?

hmm, I don't see "dots" really, I see leaf damage, but not really dots, if you see any pinpricks THAT would be a concern, as it could possibly be mites, but flip the leaf over to doublecheck that, but I don't see anything that looks like mite damage

It was kelp meal/fish bone meal/ahimsa Neem cake/Malibu compost. It was a small plant in like 7gal plastic pot, I don't think I added too much just a dusting. Maby I did though, what's the best bet now?


I suspect you may have over did the nutes maybe

im just guessing

are those time released nutes your using?

The issue arrised from the middle of the plant so unless he uses side lighting I highly doubt that is the problem here

I can see a small amount of mag def in the second pic(but its hard to spot) with the leaf margins doing the taco but I don't think that's what the first picture is showing

the first pic looks like over fertilizing or ph issue to me
but I have no way to confirm it since I don't know how to amend soils proper

I don't think its an issue with N because the lower fans leaves are dark green
(despite the yellow spots)

but its a good guess

best I can say is
air on the side of caution;
flush it out and get you some fertilizer that we can formulate a balance nutrient ratio with

next time try amending your soil differently from the start if you want to go with a true organic grow
I could be wrong, ive never done it, but tossing this and that in without a balanced formula works for guys who have been growing for 40 years thru trial and error, or some are just lucky and get it right by accident and repeat
to fix an imbalance we need to understand whats missing or whats to much

unfortunately your symptom isn't cut and dry and could be several things for several reasons and we have no way to verify which

Here's an update, only one fan leaf is doing this. I'm flushing it as we speak just to see if that'll help. Here's a new picture as of right now.

1 leaf isn't really a sign of anything

if the rest of the plant looks healthy ignore it unless its looking to spread
