Does anyone know whsts going on? It seems like I cant get an answer , the brown spots keep spreading to other leaves and destroying them and im worried for my plant. Medium is FFOF mix with 30% coco coir, water once they dry out about every 3 days, feed every second watering so about once per week, was feeding too heavy i was told while giving them 4 tbsp of big bloom , 5 ml calmag plus and 15 ml of tiger bloom, the assumption was too much phosphorus due to the tiger bloom so I flushed and gave a lighter feeding of 2tbsp big bloom and 8ml tiger bloom and 8ml calmag plus to counteract flushing all the nutrients, but the brown is still spreading now and taking over a good amount of leaves. If anyone could help thatd be great. I really dont want my first grow to end like this lol15994870703884985375249783135895.jpg15994871436319032814394407641542.jpg15994872254624889525514702067148.jpg

Gotta cut back on nutes. I give mine 20ml of big bloom, 8ml of Grow & tiger bloom and 4ml cal mag (Botanicare). Then I add 2ml of each from advanced nutrients. .. Voodoo juice (Only in 1st 2 weeks of flower) piranha, bud factor X, Carbo load, B-52, Rhino skin, big bud, bud candy, Sensizyme, and nirvana. Then I PH to 6.3-6.8. Always feed til I get about a quart of run off. I feed a whole gallon of water to a 3 gal pot. Takes her 3 days to get dry in coco loco soil mixed with FFOF. I feed every other watering. The instructions on the labels for fox farm say their recommended dosage is per week.. so I spread it out and still they only get about 60-75% of the recommended for the week. Watering in between helps get rid of build up in the root zone. I think so anyways.

So how's that heavy feeding working out for you? I bet the store you shop at just loves you for all the money you spend there.

So I'll start dialing back the nutes, in the meantime would you have any recommendations on how to get the damage to stop spreading?

When a leaf takes a significant amount of damage, it usually keeps taking that damage until it dies, even if you correct the problem. You should be watching the new growth and the growth that hasn't been damaged.
Thats what seems to be my problem, its continuously spreading to previously unaffected leaves and thats what im worried about trying to control

Ok, the first step is identifying what damage it is. It looks like a lack of something to me. What nutrients are you using?

Edit: could also be a possible lock out from too much nutrients.

I was told on another thread that I was using too much nutrients, I was using 4tbsp big bloom, 15ml tiger bloom and 5ml calmag plus , ive since flushed anf waited for leaves to droop a bit and then supplemented a lighter feeding of 2tbsp big bloom, 8ml tiger bloom and a bit extra calmag plus 8ml , that didn't seem to help much, the damage kept spreading; slower though. Should I flush again and use even less nutes?
