Deficiency? What’s what when many display similar signs

[Ramjet159]

A lot of the time looking up deficiency charts for guidance in identifying a problem I’m still left not quite sure what’s going on due to many deficiencies displaying similar signs . Be handy to be able to more accurately ascertain what the issue is and hence speed up rectifying it . Here’s my current example. Could be Mag or Zinc according to references. Anybody have an opinion or advice ?

I think zinc would show more of the dying tips on the leaves. I’m inclined to say magnesium.

Also I should have prefaced I dont know shit haha just putting in my .02

Do you use RO water? What’s the PH?

Maybe give it some epsom?

To me that looks like the start of some ph issues.

Forget the charts imho.
One problem is that deficiency and lockout of a nutrient can look the same. If it doesn't have any available either because it's locked out or it's not there it could show in a similar way.
I tend to agree with ph. Looks like your in soil. What do you use for nutes? Amendments ect?

And the question about ro water is a good one too. What water do you use?
The more info you can share the better

Looks like potential calmag issues . Hope it's an easy fix brother

Thanks for your replies fellas . Appreciate any assist. I used a pretty simple mix of about 60% premium potting mix , 20% mushroom compost , 10% general compost and the last 10% cow manure . A few additives in conservative portions of Gypsum , Kelp weed and a small handful of blood and bone . The total mix made up about 100 litres of mix . I’ve used both dechlorinated table land water and my own captured rain water in the last few days . I started noticing changes maybe 10 days ago after repotting 28 days ago . Room temp is 24-26 C during the day and night around 16-19 C . That’s about it for this mix. It’s the first time I decided to try my brothers soil mix recipe which has served him well over the last few years . He uses the same water as me only straight from the tap into the pots . One of his happy Ladies

Hey Freak
Hope all is well in your camp and you’re staying on the freeway . Have to catch up for a chat soon . It’s been awhile

Had similar issues recently, looking nearly identical, was tracked down to inconsistent water pH. And slack on my part not checking. Spray n Grow foliar and water rehab cured it.

I add a little of my home made fish emulsion as well to the water but haven’t checked the PH of the water at all .
I am currently foliar spraying with mixed chelates which basically has a little bit of everything common to amending a plants requirements.
So far it’s also only one plant in 9 that’s spat the dummy so I’m guessing it’s a lot less tolerant than the rest . Violet Cake from Square One .

Growing in hydro, I find that the first few weeks of a new water table is when any wild fluctuations can happen in my environment. Just happened to me this go around. I look away for one day and it started. Was able to reverse it quick enough.

I’m soil but same. Happens with uppotting for me here, with weaker genetics

It’s pretty amazing the variables of tolerances between genetics . The Grape Glaze I have is a little slower in veg but is pretty much bullet proof to deficiency issues . Just keeps soldiering on like it’s enjoying the challenge
