hi everyone
some of ther lower leafs on my plants are developing brown patches and there is some wilting aswel ive done some reading and i think it may be a magnesium deficency. what can i do to treat this? Or is it a different problem? my timer has broke a few times (before i knew i needed a transformer) and therefor they have been exposed to irregular lighting periods could this be a factor? ( this has been sorted now. I wish i could provide you with photos but digi camera is on the blink if anyone has any ideas please let me know

It could be Mg deficiency or even another deficiency, what is the PH like go to our FAQ or this link click here. If you can't post pictures this website maybe able help you match your problem to the pictures they have posted.

Hope this helps.

If it is Mg deficiency misting leaves with Epsom salts can have spectacular results. One dose wont hurt. Don't use too often can cause other problems, lockout(?). One teaspoon per litre.
