Problem: I had two other fan leaves do the same thing before I topped and I Just cannot seem to figure out what is causing this. It all is happening on the upper fan leaves of the plant, non below the first 4 inches of the top. Starts out as some intervenal chlorosis. And it takes over a week for it too look the way it does now.Any ideas please? Thank you too all in advance

Hey there Bear... seeing that it is only at the top of the plant we know it is a non-mobile nutrient deficiency. This narrows it down real fast and then studying this chart and comparing it to the list of mobile and non-mobile nutrients, I have a strong suspicion that I know what is going on.

Your pH at 5.9 is up near the top end for hydro. I submit that it is a bit too high to pick up at least one if not more of the micronutrients, mainly the heavy metals that need a more acidic mix to become mobile. I think this looks like a zinc deficiency, and I think that if you lower your pH to 5.5, it will go away.

Good luck!

Emilya,
Thank you for your insight I have been scouring the forums all day long and was leaning towards zinc. Just never been a def. ive had to deal with or seen yet. Thank you again
