Its hard to get good help on here but somebody please help me out. My lower querkle leaves have these orange-brownish spots on the lower fan leaves!

My soil is made up of roots organic, ounce of epsom garden lime per bag, half ounce of azomite per bag

I feed them with
1tbls indonesian bat guano per gal
7ml maxicrop liquid fish per gal
teaspoon natures nectar potassium
teaspoon calmag botanicare per gal

I use ro water and on diffrent feedings sometimes i add, molasses, silicon, epsom salts.

Im thinking maybe it is a calcium or mag deficiency because i use ro water and maybe a teaspoon of calmag per gal isn't enough?

i was thinking cal/mag def also.. tryin increasing the dosage... i've noticed that problem but only around mid way... i stopped worrying about it while keeping cal/mag around 10ml/ gal.... never hindered performance.

rust spots usually calmag. what kinda calmag u using? maybe its the pH thats causing a lockout. that shit drops to like mid to low 5s when u add 1tsp/gal

thanks guys, im thinking it could be a calmag problem too. so im gonna up it to 7ml per gal hope that does the trick. and i might raise that more if i have to.

it looks like the soil is just a little hot. next time dont plant in it right after mixing. its true dolomatic lime needs about a month to fully buffer the acidity of the soil and add ample calcium to the soil mix. although roots organic is balanced well enough that calcium should not be a problem. either the soil was hot, or what u added messed with the ph a little, either way do nothing and watch for improvements.

many crops have been lost from over-loving.

also, for the future, it helps to know where the affected leaf came from, top middle bottom of the plant. a leaf with dark green veins and yellowing leaflets could be one of 2 things either Mg or Fe (magnesium or iron) and the way to tell is the new top leaves will yellow if its iron, the older leaves will yellow if its magnesium
