I've scowered the forum but can't find what I'm seeing on one of my plants
two weeks into 12/12.

The leaves are yellowing (light green) ad the veins are really yellowing. Some leaves that are still generally green show the yellow veins.

What could be the problem. My water pH I try to keep arount 7.0 but could be as high as 7.2. The first week into 12/12 I used a diluted Peters Bloom Plus.

Help please...

the little white spots in it could be pH "hotspots". i would try to stay away from the 7.2 pH for the meantime. it could also be a pH flux. where it has change rather drasticly in a short amount of time. some ferts when the break down have pH changes, soils too.
 
Hey all,

I have some kind of deficiency that started about 4 weeks into flower. It appears to be MG to me but I'm no expert so here I am. Any ideas? The leaves are curling up and scorched like hell but the plant is still flowering like "normal", that is they continue to grow. Also, it's occuring near the top of the plant, not so much in the middle or bottom. I flushed at week 5 for 2 days, then added nutrients again at 900 ppm. I use a flood and drain system as well. My ph is constantly between 5.7 to 6.1. At one point, it got down to 5.4 which makes me think that caused MG deficiency. Will it be ok until the end of flower or do I need to do something now? I'm currently at week 6. I wasn't able to upload pics due to an upload error but they're in my profile if you can view them that way. Thanks!
