Hey everyone, looking for some input on what could have caused these spots on the leaves.

From all my research it could be:

  • Septoria,
  • Iron Deficiency,
  • Manganese (Mn) Deficiency, or
  • Potassium Deficiency

What are your thoughts??





I also wanted to note that I have removed any affected leaves already about 2 days ago. So I guess I will see if it returns.

Could it have been burn from using foliar spray or water droplet? I usually wipe dry any water, but spray foliar with lights On, but I always turn them down to the lowest setting until the plants are dry, then in crease light Intensity.

Hey man. Are you supplementing with cal mag? Could be early cal mag deficiency. Has anything else come up since you cut the affected leaves off?

No, I have only given her U-CANN Herb Thrive and recently Abundant Bloom.




Hey brother,

Yeah, your nutrients are not balanced in my opinion, not necessarily missing. And, The black spots could be a fungi, but the good news is that both of these are easy to deal with at this stage.

For fungi and pests, in a 16 Oz ish sprayer, mix 1 teaspoon of dish soap and (no more than) 1 teaspoon of standard hydrogen peroxide… add (no more than) 10 drops oftea tree oil, and give the plant a spray bath, fine spray only, top, bottom, and moisten the surface of the soil. Shake the plant to remove droplets, and dry for a few hours.

Ahead of time, (like 24 hrs)… bubble up a batch of any good compost tea,
After the plant (above) has dried for a few hours, strain-out some tea, thin it about 2/3, and give the plant another spray bath, top, bottom, and surface of the soil. Then water the plant to a definite drip, slowly … with the remainder of the tea at 50/50 mix.

Again, shake and dry thoroughly…

Compost tea is a natural fungicide, and an excellent natural foliar food! it is filled with a variety of nutrients and microbes that will quickly balance the available nutrients in your soil, I don’t think you need to add anything else right now.

After all that, keep your grow area at just 40-45% humidity for 4-5 days, back off your watering a bit, and only water with tea for a few weeks… or, I generally water all of the time with various teas that I brew. :nerd_face:
Some growers repeat this procedure once per week.

Thanks for the info. I purchased everything I need to start doing compost tea.

I bought, worm castings, alfalfa meal, fishbone meal, kelp meal, and of course organic molasses.

I also bought rock salt dust as my organic Cal-Mag supplement.

I got my bucket and air pump, the cheese cloth bags and air stones should arrive today.

Looking forward to brewing. I hope I don’t F*** it up :joy:

@DoyleDoesIt. Would you spray the plants with compost tea when in Flower? Or only in Veg??

Right on!

Compost tea is great right thru flower, but most growers stop most of everything during the last week or two of flower, to avoid any issues with taste or smell. Give your plants a water misting every few days anyway :slight_smile:

Although I’m certainly no expert, in my 4 short years of growing, I’ve never seen or heard of any grower using rock salt dust. Salts must be carefully balanced in the soil, and chlorides are deadly, so do the discount double triple check about what you’re doing.

All Foliar feeding needs to be diluted to 25-30% … in other words, thin it out. Only like 3-4 ounce in a 16 Oz. Sprayer. Maybe 50/50 to water the soil.

Keep it up! The great thing is, once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that you can simply use your kitchen scraps to make all of the food and microbial mixtures your home will ever need!
