I had something similar, for me it was a combo of'slightly acidic ph, heat stress and magnesium deficiency. I diluted some epsom salt in water and sprayed heavilly before dark, helped a lot. Also keep in mind on a maturing plant, lower fan leaves will be bled of some nutrients and then fall off as a natural process.

hope some others chime in and you get some good tips, good luck getting it all tip top :)

Hi petert, I wanted a lot so I put about 1/3rd to 1/2 a teaspoon into about a liter. But I have read anywhere from 1/2 a teaspoon to a full tablespoon in a gallon. Google it, you'll get lots of results to read and decide. It is important *not* to do this before putting plants in the sun/light as with any foliar spray.

ohh alright thanks ! :) could i find epsom salts at like walmart or a local gardening store ??? i dont think it can be the ph because i ph test everything before even thinkin bout puttin it 2 my babies . but it may b heat stress because where i live at this time it stays over 80 F all day .
 
I ph everything as well ,sometimes i find myself dropping the Hanna tester in my cereals !!!
Looks a little like leaf burn to me .
Also i know its probably the pic :shock: but that could be every growers nightmare spots , the finger at 5 o,clock .

there are more n more leaves starting to look like this . i was thinking about defoliating the than leafs i showed earlier to allow more tops ?? or 2 help the plant stop shooting energy 2 parts dieing off anyways . ik its a very controversial topic but i just feel like its a win win at this point lol . any comments would help !!
 
So the worst nightmare, well one of them spider mite.
I discovered it in my veg room today
And and the veg room is furthest in i will have to do the whole place .
