Rusty looking leafs

I noticed she has a lot of brown spots and some leafs have big covered areas. I probably have a water temperature problem since summer is around the corner. Will it affect the buds?

Hi @Pedro_Semorile it looks like you need to check your probes, when is the last time they were cleaned and calibrated?
Also check your nutrient bottle lines to see if they are kinked or caught and the lines are touching the bottom of the bottles.

@Bplatinum9 Thanks I will check and clean them. It’s been about 4 weeks since last checked. Nutes have been dispensing needed to replace # 5 and others are also getting low… about halfway. Should I trim some of the bad looking leaves or just leave it alone.

Looks like it could use some more Cal if the pH is correct. But it most likely is pH being too high/low and messing with nutrient uptake. I had the same problem with my last grow, I left the leaves but just discarded them when I harvested

@Bplatinum9 @ Russel_Richardson
I cleaned the probes. Health check said no need calibration. Checked bottle lines all good. So I don’t know about cal that Russel mention. How do I add more? Will leave leafs though as you did.

this is the other Grobo looks like same problem starting only on bottom not new growth. Hopefully it gets better.

I would just clean up the bottom on that one, if there’s any low ones spotting just remove them. I’m thinking its probably pH fluctuations that are leading to this and then not being able to properly process bottles 3-5

Its time for a bottom clean up and a top if you haven’t already.

Thanks. Will clean her up and yes she was topped.

Pedro_Semorile · May 25, 2020, 7:31pm

She looks good now!
