I don't see any mite damage. Not sure what that is! I would like to keep an eye on this thread to learn more.

Hey Raw710
I saw your other thread yesterday. no one replied to it. you must be worried.
i don't think you have mites or a virus or anything like that. I get that on my leaves sometimes and i'm not positive why. I think it's environment related. wish i could give you better info. i looked for mites for weeks and found none. now i'm in week five of flower and still they're ok.

The underside of the leaf looks like insect damage as well.
What am I looking for specifically on the underside since you may think there is damage there? Thanks for reply
Yeah I have bought a couple of Scopes and haven't seen any mites or egg which is strange.
Yes I am very worried about it plants seem to be growing fine I am just worried that I am not going to get the full potential out of plants. I have had russets before and none of the signs I am having are pointing to them.... Besides maybe the curling but when I had russets before the curling was more extensive also I had the bugs on the tips and some of the items of leaves which I have not seen any of
Yes I'm sorry for opening the other thread I didn't think it posted. I will be more alert next time I post a thread
1. Partial chlorosis of the leaf -> heat damage.
You should check the temperatures at the leaf level when the lamps are on. Remember that the temp below the lamps is always higher than the general room temperature.
2. Early stage magnesium deficiency.
The leaves are very dark green, with darkening of the edges of the leaf.
3. More Potassium.
The stems are very thin and colored red.
4. Lockout vs Deficiency
It could be that the above nutrients are being locked out because the pots are standing on the floor. It is probably best to put something under them, and take them at least an inch off the floor. A folded crate is my favorite solution.
You should check your leaf temperatures and add a magnesium source, depending on what medium and feeding schedule you use.
i will try and have to lift them off the ground the stems did come around and they are green but maybe i can run a little bit more K in the mix. Should i maybe add some epsom salt? But you dont think with the hooking it is a virus?
Most likely it are just nutrient deficiencies/lockouts.
You should always check for insects, because they can also cause what look like nutrient deficiencies.
The solution depends on what medium you're using - rockwool, soil, coco coir. And if you're using filtered water.
The curling in the tips of the leaf edge serrations is just a result of low humidity.

Yes I'm using ro water and using Coco coir
Makes sense my humidity was only 15-20%. Now that they are bigger and flipped it's about 55% which is perfect!. Thanks for the suggestion
Well that's it then.
I have personally put a pinch of magnesium lime in a quart of r/o water, let it stand for a day, and mix it with r/o water at 1:3 parts, and use that to make the nutrient solution.
It works very well.
Well I have used the same nutrients for quite a while and haven't had an issue but on the other hand I have never ran these new strains either....so maybe you are correct
