Thanks for the reply... I checked for bugs yesterday with a loup and couldn't find any. I've had mites in the past so have a good idea what to look for and blasted the room before the grow with bleach etc so I'm confident it isn't a bug problem. I don't have a bluelab truncheon anymore so am reliant on a cheapo thing that I don't really trust but Ppms were on the low end last time I checked around 600ppms. To be honest I haven't been checking the Ppms as I've been sticking to the guidelines on the bottles and they have been looking great so I thought I was OK but I guess not!. What do you recommend I do next? Thanks

A few are showing calcium and a few are showing Magnesium issues with some possible Prosperous issues too.

I've had a look at the various charts and your correct they do point to a cal/mag issue. What I don't understand is how that is possible when I am giving them cal/mag supplements?. Also doesn't explain the problem moving from one plant to the next. I'm completely baffled. I did try to flush both the autos and it did absolutely nothing. I think my next move if nobody has any fix is to chop the two autos and keep an eye on the 1 photo that has the early signs of whatever disease it has and if that progresses to get worse then maybe chop that one too before it ruins the rest of the crop. Sounds drastic but I don't know what else to do?.

Don't chop anything till it matures
It isn't a "disease"

. Did you start the cal mag when the plants were asking, or as a type of standard feeding you do? Ya know what they say "too much of a good thing causes lockout".

What are you PH ( ing ) at ?
Is it matching or near medium ph range ?

If not ranged accordingly you will lock out some elements. Also noted “ the Claw “ on your leaf and shine. Which points to nitro excess ( especially in flower ) - fade is to be expected as older leaf is spent.
Some excess in one element can affect uptake of others. Calcium is deficient.

Hi budz budda I aim for 6.5 pH every time whether on a feed or just water thanks

Looks like you're pretty far into flower and from what I've heard some fading in lower leaves is normal at that stage and shouldn't effect final results. This would also explain why you're seeing it on multiple plants that are all getting into later stages of flower.

Are your autos more effected than your photos?
