New Grower New pictures. Spotting still spreading. Can't figure it out. Need help.

Purple cheese auto being grown in an aerogarden. Spotting started a week into the grow. Now I am about three weeks into the grow with no signs of spotting slowing. Added a cap full of Epsom salt thinking this may be a magnesium deficiency. I also removed most of the foil lining the bottom of the aerogarden (left some to keep extra holes covered).

Could be a combination of cal and phos deffiecency,What are you feeding her? Also what is your PH?

 

[Grim Reefer]

Hi there
Yes keep adding epsom salts and get some molasses or cal/mg additive as you have cal/mg .

 

[User K]

Yep I would say mag def as well. CalMag will soon fix that.

 

[Alpha & Omega]

Yup Cal/Mag/ Plant Magics CalMag is pretty good stuff and quite cheap to buy.

Thank you for all of the help! Im going to get cal-mag as soon as I can find it. I've been calling nurseries around the area and no one seems to carry it nor do they even know what I'm talking about which is strange to me considering I'm calling a nursery! Guess I'll order it. Again, thank you for the help! Oh, and unfortunately all I'm feeding is is maricle grow aerogarden liquid plant food for starting, veg and flower. I know it's probably not the best but it's all I've got at the moment. The plant is just under 3 weeks old and and I've only fed her 4ml one time.

Hang in there Guy, you'll get her back to good in no time! Here's some good positive vibes :karma Cloud: and a little to keep your spirits up! :wiggle:

I'm feeling the CalMag diagnosis myself, here's some info on getting it taken care of my friend!

Your cannabis plant may show signs of a calcium deficiency if the pH at the roots is too high or too low. That is because when the pH of your root zone is off, your cannabis cannot properly absorb calcium through its roots. Therefore the first step is to ensure that you have the correct pH for your growth medium. Learn more about pH and cannabis.

Please note: After a calcium deficiency is cleared up, the problem (brown spots and unhealthy new leaves) will stop appearing on new growth, usually within a week. Please note that leaves which have been damaged by a calcium deficiency will probably not recover or turn green, so you want to pay attention to new growth for signs of recovery.

In soil, calcium is best absorbed by the roots in the 6.2 - 7.0 pH range (in soil, it's generally recommended to keep the pH between 6.0 - 7.0, but calcium specifically tends to be best absorbed above 6.2)

In hydro, calcium is best absorbed by the roots in the 6.2 - 6.5 pH range (in hydro, it's generally recommended to keep the pH between 5.5 - 6.5, but calcium specifically tends to be best absorbed above 6.2)

If you suspect your growing cannabis plant has a calcium deficiency, flush your system with clean, pH'd water that contains a regular dose of cannabis-friendly nutrients that includes calcium. This will remove any nutrient salts that may be affected the uptake of calcium and help restore pH to the proper levels..

To supplement with extra Calcium... (it's very rare to give a cannabis plant too much calcium, however, too much calcium can lock out other nutrients so don't go overboard)

Calcium, magnesium, and iron deficiencies often appear together in cannabis. Many growers decide to purchase some sort of Calcium-Magnesium (often called Cal-Mag) supplement for their grow room in case this common deficiency appears.

Aww thank you thank you. So much love.
