Looks like calcium deficiency. What’s the ph and enviro? Are you giving CalMg?
hello i was useing ro water with calmag plus but i dident want the nitrogen as my plant dont seem to need to but am going to use my tap water as i have another thread on here and people said my tap waters fine and im better off useing it not sure on ph got a few cheap ph pens and they never worked my tap water is 7.2 ph out the tap 370ppm and gos to 400ppm after a night gassing off clorine im useing biobizz with bio bizz light soil ive been only feeding 3ml grow and bloom per 5ml and top max agl a mac bio heaven root juice 1ml per 5ml every watering and i water every 5ish days in a 5 gallon pot i think im underfeeding them soils still damp should i feed them with a high dose maybe 2ml/l of each nute.
should i give i big dose of bio bizz bloom nutes and skip the grow for now?
i also have
Potassium Sulfate
powder if thats oragnic im not sure about how to use it tho

I think too often people assume a deficiency is caused by not enough of something and many of the first reactions is to add more when more might not be what best. One thing to remember is that if you overfeed you can cause nutrient antagonism where you have an abundance of one nutrient that locks out another nutrient which causes a deficiency. That plant looks like it's been overfed. Adding more of anything may not be the best course of action. While most will say you need to add this and that. I am of the belief that if you have a deficiency caused by excessive levels of nutrient feeding that the best course of action is to add less. I think that plant has been overfed for a long time. You have dark green leaves that are becoming crispy fried. You even comment in another one of your posts about how dark green the leaves are. I don't believe adding more of anything is the answer. I think less is more at this point.
Many people are quick to look at that chart showing deficiencies and immediately assume it's this or that based on a picture. While the plant may have deficiency how it occurred may not be from a lack of nutrients but from an overabundance. I know people are going to disagree with me but I think your issue is being caused by overfeeding that's been going on for awhile. For instance, too much nitrogen can lockout potassium, adding more potassium can affect phosphorus and calcium, adding more of those can affect other nutrients. Do you see where I'm going with this?
I even have this for my signature.
"The overfeeding of any plant food can cause nutrient deficiencies."
"Deficiencies can occur if one or more minerals are in excess. This may seem contradictory, but many elements have antagonistic effects on others. These antagonistic nutrients are often ions with the same charge, and occur when one is in excess in a solution or in the soil. If one is in excess, it will block the uptake of another, therefore causing a deficiency and affecting crop quality and yields."

i would agree if i was not in bio bizz light mix and only feed water for the first month and then ive only feed a feed or 2 of very light nutes not even 1/4 of the recomended dose and only began with the nutes because the leaves where going brown i was waiting for them to start to yellow before i begin the nutes but that never happened just started to brownI think too often people assume a deficiency is caused by not enough of something and many of the first reactions is to add more when more might not be what best.

That's not what you said in a previous post.
3 ml of grow and bloom is more than 1/4 of the recommended dose and you likely were feeding more which is why you even posted about your really dark leaves in another thread you made. Maybe you're measuring incorrectly. There is no way for anyone to know exactly what you've been doing as you have changed what you've stated previously. Anyway, they're your plants do do with as you please. I think you've been overfeeding. That's all I have to say.
Good luck. I hope you figure it out.
i just did a 1 to2ml/l feed my 2 feeds before this feed have water and 2 feeds before this one of 0.25ml/l and i got info that Phosphorous def can give you very dark leaves and giveing no nutes is what caused it to brown i only added nutes after it has brownedThat's not what you said in a previous post.
