My wife just transplanted this strawberry cough and suddenly spots on leaves.
Growing under CFLs 3-5500k and 1-3500k
Same soil mix I use with all my plants.
80 deg f. 1 3" fan with louvered door
24/0 lighting
Any Ideas? This happened like over night.
At moment it seems to be only older leaves.
There is also some tip burn.
She seems to think it was over watered but to me that doesn't account for the spots.
Is it a PH problem, haven't checked that on this plant yet since transplanting it.
Did you happen to notice any signs of stress before you transplanted? Was the plant quite rootbound? I wonder about the possibility that it is now showing signs of previous suffering.
The spots look vaguely fungal to me and a treatment with Serenade (cheap at walmart or home dePOT) is not a bad idea.
If it's just a lower leaf or two and does not spread in the next day or so, it's probably from before. The color of the spots is too chocolatey to be potassium deficiency. I'm sorry that one has me stumped at the moment.
Thank You stinkyattic for the reply.
The plant was very healthy with no signs of stress.
I'm going to remove the damaged leaves and treat for fungus.
I searched a bunch of troubleshooting guides, most photos I saw were not the problem I have.
I saw nothing on fungus so Ill give it a try.
Thanks Again
A week ago this plant was treated for fungas, since I really didn't know what was wrong.
Since then I fed it once with a 1/4 nute solution with superthrive and molasses added in recommended quantities.
All Nutes ph at about 6.5
24/0 Light 12 hours under 8 100W equivalent daylight CFLs and 12 hours under 1000w HPS.
Open area good ventilation, box fan for air flow,and stem strength.
low humidity 30 %
temp 75 deg.F average no big fluctuations.
Plant is relatively healthy, a little tip curl, and burn. 4th picture
1,2,and 3 show spots on leaves.
So far problem is limited to 2 or 3 leaves.
Is it deficient in something?
Or locked out?
Thanks for any help you can give :hippy:
