Rust spots can often be a defficiency, but I have also read that it is also caused by fungicides as well. Generally speaking scientists believe that rust spots do not cause that much damage to your plants and are generally more of an aesthetic problem. If you are growing in a shed it could be that spores have got into your grow through an air inlet. Under magnification if you see in the yellowish spots that there are spores, then it's fungal based. This is likely to be the case if you have not changed your nutrient regime from previous grows, why would your plants suddenly not like that regime. A lot of people are quick to jump on nutrients as being issues where the environment around the plant has a massive factor as well. My 2 cents, but like Mr Sit on the Fence NewUserlol states (and he use to say I sat on the fence, lol) You need to make up your own mind and then decide on the advise and course of action.....I know, I am a boring cunt.

well , couldnt see any spores under magnification, so im thinking its this, i have been adding soil dose of calmag , which is half that of hydro dose, and coco is treated as hydro right ? I am watering quite heavy on a daily basis. my plant look healthy & the rust is only on top of plant , on some "middle aged " leaves . we shall see...


Ca is an important nutrient that MJ plants require. Although rare, a calcium deficient plant exhibits twisted or curled leaves and brown spots that can spread rapidly. Too much Ca can be lethal to your plant as well. Potassium (K) and Magnesium (Mg) can be “locked out” if Calcium levels are too high. "Hard" tap water (tap water in most North American cities) is generally very Calcium rich. If your faucet heads have mineral build up on them, your water may be unsuitable for growing cannabis.

Younger leaves show calcium deficiencies first followed by symptoms in older leaves. Leaf tips die back and/or curl and growth of the plant is stunted. Stems and branches will be weak and root systems will be under-developed leading to bacterial problems and decreased plant vigor. Decreased transpiration rates usually caused by under developed roots and/or high relative humidity can aggravate the uptake of calcium. Extremely acidic soil or too low a pH in hydroponic nutrient solutions can cause decreased calcium availibility. The leaf tips, edges and new growth may exhibit a yellow/brown color that occurs in spots (mottling) and is often surrounded by a sharp brown outline. If too much calcium is applied during early stages of growth, plants may become stunted.

Treat calcium deficiencies by foliar feeding one teaspoon of dolomite lime or Garden lime per gallon of water. Any synthetic or organic nutrients that contains Calcium will fix a Calcium deficiency. You can also add crushed dolomite lime or garden lime to your soil. Gypsum, Rock Phosphate, and Lime can also be added to your soil to correct a calcium deficiency.
Magnesium Deficiency:
Magnesium is a vital element for humans, plants and animals. It is a building block of chlorophyll in plants and it is essential for photosynthesis. It also plays an important role in a number of metabolic processes. Magnesium compounds have been used since antiquity in medicine for heartburn, against poisoning and as a laxative. Magnesium is a very light, malleable, elastic metal with a silver-white sheen that burns with a blinding light in the air. It is one of the most common elements on earth and the earth’s crust contains approximately 2.09% magnesium. Magnesium is also present in tap water and, together with calcium, and is responsible for the hardness of water. Inorganic magnesium fertilizers are prepared from the same salts as are used when preparing potassium fertilizers. When grown from seeds, cannabis doesn't need nutrients for the first two weeks.
Development


  1. There are no visible symptoms in the first 3 – 4 weeks, the plant continues to grow well, is dark green and looks healthy.
  2. The deficiency symptoms first become visible in cannabis after 4 – 6 weeks when small, rust brown necrotic spots and/or cloud-like chlorosis appear under the flowering top on the middle-aged leaves. The colour of the young leaves and the development of the flowers is still normal.
  3. The size and number of the rust brown spots increases on the leaves while the chlorosis also increases and becomes yellower.
  4. The symptoms spread throughout the plant which will now look a sorry sight.
  5. If it is a serious deficiency the young leaves will also become chlorotic and production will fall.
