Nutrient burn? Deficiency?

Okay, upon further investigation, I still think it's a calcium deficiency... maybe I did not do enough lime, or maybe I need a more aggressive solution like cal-mag?

If you put enough lime on, you did add more, yes? Up to 5tbl for the 2.5gal container?

If so, now is the time to be patient. IT IS GROUND UP ROCK!!!!!!!!

It doesn't do anything *fast* and you've only applied it in the last several days. It will work, just not overnight. More like a week+.

Don't go 'fixing' anything for a week or so. Just water and watch.

Awesome.. this is what I wanted to hear. Thanks a lot for your help! Sorry for my impatience, I'm just a concerned parent, lol

Have you checked for Ahids they cause problomes just like this!
I can't see anything moving on the leaves with 30x magnification, and no signs of any form of non-micro infestations other than a few ladybugs that have gotten into the house to hide from the cold... and they are beneficial...

Still going to give it some time like Wet recommended. Can't argue with experience!

Try the lime pellets next time you mix your soil up, take a bit longer to break down and IMO start to work right when you need it

I'd still like to see an entire plant shot including container from floor to top of the top cola... ;)

AltarNation, I suspect a K deficiency on your flowering plants. The young one I don't know. That one could be wet roots combined with not enough K, or something entirely different. cn

massah I will get you a whole plant shot... might be one in my gallery already that would suffice, I took a bunch of shots yesterday. I didn't specifically look for one that shows the contrast between the healthy and unhealthy leaves of one plant though.

I am feeding according to schedule with FoxFarm products... seems like there should be plenty of K in there? Right now I'm on ChaChing, the third solid solution. (In addition to the liquid regimen.) Maybe I did not use Beastie Bloomz long enough before switching? I could throw an extra dose of that in next time, as it is rated at 0-50-30 while the cha ching I've switched to is 9-50-10.

Couldn't hurt anything to throw an extra dose of Beastie Bloomz in at next feeding instead of ChaChing, could it? I won't do both, I imagine that would be too strong.

i think your fine but dont ever cut off yellowing leaves. the plant is focusing all its "sickness" into one leaf at a time to try and slow the spread of the problem, if yoiu cut a dying leaf before its ready your causing all the problems that leaf was absorbing to jump to another new leaf which will cause your plant to deteriorate much faster

Wow, that's a very interesting concept. I did not even think of that! Thanks for the advice... i won't pull any leaves until they're ready to go on their own.

FoxFarm are good products, and I agree they have plenty of P/K What that means is ... I'm officially stumped.
Typically Mg deficiency shows as interveinal chlorosis ... but deficiencies can be so protean. At this point, i don't see how CalMag can hurt.
Nice to see another of Pr0f's T5 growers in the game!! cn

I'm still giving it some time on the calcium def. like wet said... we will see what happens. I am not seeing an increase per se... but not seeing it go away entirely either... perhaps damaged leaves are damaged leaves. I mean necrosis can't be reversed obviously, so the best I can hope is to see yellow go green again, I assume the brown is done for.

Doesn't seem to be getting WORSE at least, haha. That works for me for now. ;) Just want to see this through to completion and would hate to lose it so close to the end!

p.s. Yarrr, PAR spectrum! ;)
