Difficiency Problem With Pics

I posted once before but need a second opinion. Also thought I would add some more pics to better analize the problem. On top of the plants here is what Im feeding so far

per 5 gallons of RO water:

30ML of Botanicare CNS17
15ML of CalMag
3-4ML of GH's floralicious Plus

Any thoughts

I also use the liquid PH and my PH should be around 6.5 according to color of the vial

....Hope you find out what that is Saw a plant that looked like that, But dont know what it is Wonder if its possible for the plant to recover from it....Positive Growing !

could be a bit of nute burn..... maybe..... whats ur feeding shed? every water... every second water? what are u growing in?


and just for something way out left field.... do you run an ozone generator? just looks a bit like ozone damage(very rare)

No ozone generator just charcoal filter. Only fed them bout 3 times (every 3-4 days) w/ nutes. Also using sunshine mix as my medium. Believe its a soiless mix

dont feed every watering give them a flush out(plain water, and heaps of it) then feed every 2nd watering.

Could be nitrogen deficiency. Maybe even a nutrient burn. I would flush the soil to be safe. What kind of lighting do you have?

That could be a phorphorus def. ..possibly iron def.

Im running 3 600watt lumateks with ushio MH bulbs. Only 2 are on at the moment. Thx for the replys
I was also told to use epson salt, anyone know if that will help

Its very possible that its a nutrient burn with those lights. I'm thinking some of your nutes got on the leaves and then burned by the lights.

Hmmmmmm you have a very good point. Man Im kinda of an idiot for this and maybe shoulda said it sooner but I did foiler feed the first time. But some of the recent new growth also has a few specks as well. But, maybe Ill hold off and just wait this one out. Thanks for that akilleez +rep good info

foliar feeding is risky under HID.... especially 2 lumateks, they crank..... if the nutes dont burn them... 1/2 the time the light does from the water acting as a magnifier....

feeding the roots is simpler and safer....


if some of the new growth has spots on it, it could be nute burn.... dont mean to ask a stupid question.... but do you have alluminum foil around it anywhere... or extremely krinled mylar?

burn spots from the HID being magnified on the leaves

I do not have any foil or mylar, but yes some of my new growth (that was not foiler fed) still has the red spots. Could this be nute burn or difficiency prob? Never seen this shit before and dont know what to do. Im def. gunna feed some epson salt with straight water and maybe reduce my nutes back even more when I do feed nutes again. The plants still seem to be growing vigerously yet they still have the damn red spots I dont get it

i can assure you that is not magnesium deficent... epsom salts will only make that worse.


as you say its still thriving so it wouldnt be defecient.... id back the nutes off a bit like you said and see if it stops progressing, i ease mine in at about a 6th every second watering if i see any deficency starting i go up 2/6 instead of 1/6 if they get dark green and any spots or burn on the edges appear i back it off a bit, and each plant is usually diffent...

im not sure as to what it is, but a flush sure couldnt hurt. flush it and keep an eye on new growth to see if it keeps going or no. nute burn is my guess

thanks alot for the replys thats what I will do

Ok so Im still having problems with the red spots, anyone else have any idea what it may be. Ive fed with epson salt, then flushed. Now I fed again with light nutrients and still seeing red spots on new growth. On top of doing all this in the past 4-5 days I have also treated for mites. Im officially stumped...... PLEASE HELP

dude mg def is only on the bottom of the plant and its the leaves going lighter, whoeva told u to put epsom salts on it doesnt know what they are talking about.

so let me get this right... you added epsom salts(not going to help) flushed the pot(taking the epsom salts away(hopefully)) and then added nutes and water to your wet pot?


thats not going to help, if its a nute burn(which from looking everything over i think it is) flush the pot with plain water then wait till its dry again before you add your nutes and remember to add nutes to ur water every second watering so you can help get rid of whatever nutes are being left in ur pot.

Sounds like the most reseanable advice yet, thank you and +rep
