It has effected mostly fans but not all. Def not senescence. I’ve never seen Cal/Mag deficiency this advanced. The ones just starting look like what I know of it. Looks like a Magnesium deficit from online pics. I never get deficiencies in the ground plants and don’t do a lot of container grows these days. The spots don’t rub off btw… Now that I have dosed them, how often do I need to do it. Like once a week or a few weeks?
Usually, for me, when I see cal deficiencies, I see them on the new growth as well as the old. I run in coco, EWC and Dr. Earth (I think I mentioned earlier) and I water at half strength cal/mag every third watering or so just to ward it off. Some say you don’t need to, but I will have issues if I don’t. I just started to see it on my Fire Creek OG’s when I slacked off of it for a couple weeks.
I think yours may just be hungry, but a dose of Cal/mag won’t hurt as long as they’re not in lockout.
Our humidity has been fluctuating a lot. Bunch of Hurricanes and Tropical Storms in Mexico effect Southern Cali like that. All my ground plants are fine. 2 of 4 containers have a deficiency.
What do you mean by dryback @Hashpants ? Getting really dry in between waterings? I pretty much have to water them daily now.
Yes, extra evaporation from heat and wind .Makes it hard to properly keep them watered. Maybe try yucca or a tiny drop of dish soap in the water to help completely soak the soil. I have a similar one in a 10 gal.
@Hashpants I can’t really zoom in far enough, but that really bad leaf looks like septoria. It has the characteristic circles around the brown spots. I hope I’m wrong, but double check:
I use 1 5 gal bucket of cold water, 1 bucket of hot water, 1 5 gal sterilite tub that’s more flat for soaking that I fill with warm water and add either 1/2 c of peroxide or the juice of 1 large lemon and 1/4 cup of baking soda. The past few years I have just used peroxide. Anyway, chop branches and immediately soak them in the flat peroxide tub for like 2 minutes then dunk in hot water and finish with cold water dunk. Hang dry in front of a fan for a good 45 mins to an hour (until they stop dripping) then trim. I don’t have room to hang dry so I wet trim and dry nugs in big nets.
It’s crucial to use the fan, if you try to dry them dripping wet, they will mold
You guys, I still can’t stress those Grove Bags enough when curing. Seriously, no work whatsoever and they have kept my bud absolutely perfect for almost a year now. Professional, perfect cure with no burping. I love the laziness of it as well. As I have a lot of bud to cure come October. It has turned out best with the Grove Bags. I had gotten pretty good at it, but not that good. Not sure if it’s just great in my climate, but the bags are worth every penny. I use the big 1 or 2 pound groves to cure each plant and the one ounce packs that I use on the daily for my personal stash. This way, I don’t have to open the big bags as often. Please try them out if you haven’t yet. Best thing since sliced bread.
