Ok guys, so I’ve been doing a bit more digging and I know you say the problem with #1 isnt a calcium deficiency, but I’m convinced it is. I’ve found the following articles about it along with pics and descriptions of problems.
In this article (
http://www.growweedeasy.com/calcium-deficiency-cannabis), pic #2 looks
exactly what my leaves look like. In addition, the list of symptoms that matched my symptoms invludes:
- Dead spots
- Spotting / Mottling
- Stunted growth
- Small or distorted new leaves
- Leaf die-off
- Affected leaves may appear dark green besides the spots
- Roots appear weak or under-developed
In this article (
https://www.sensigarden.com/calcium-deficiency-marijuana/), the pic also looks exactly like what I’m dealing with and has this list of symptoms that match mine:
- Lower leaves curl and twist
- Yellow, brown spots appear on leaf and tips
- Stunted growth
- Brown or dark spots on leaves
- Random pattern of spots
- Roots have little development
Understand that its not that I don’t trust you guys (you saved #2 !!! ), but this problem just is persisting, I know how to research, I am seeing the exact same pictures and symptoms on multplie articles (not just the two listed above), and I’ve talked with a few others who have grown this particular strain and said that they also had calcium deficiency issues. Granted, #2 is fine - but these plants (for being the same strain) have exhibited extremely different characteristics from the start.
My opinion is that #1 needs more calcium and from what I’ve read you really can’t overdo it on the calcium as long as you dose it within reason (i.e. 1-2 tsp/gal). Besides, at this point there isn’t much to lose by trying it - not like its the first plant anyone will have lost. And if I’m right, then it means I’m learning to read my plants correctly - no?
