Caring for your plant will also greatly depend on the specific strain from the cannabis seeds you use. Here are a few points to consider while facing growth problems with your marijuana plant.

  • Boron Deficiency

You will recognize a boron deficiency if the new growth is thick, looks abnormal or twisted, and has brown spots. It diminishes the quality of CBD hemp oil and also causes significant harvest losses.

  • Calcium Deficiency

The first symptoms of calcium deficiency are brown spots and weak stems.

  • Iron Deficiency

The inner and top leaves turn white or yellow with iron deficiency.

  • Magnesium Deficiency

Older leaves become yellow between the veins if there is a loss of Magnesium.

  • Manganese Deficiency

Mottled brown spots between the veins of the leaves are a sign of Manganese deficiency.

  • Molybdenum Deficiency

Pink or red coloring on the leaves means there is a deficiency of Molybdenum.

  • Nitrogen Deficiency

Nitrogen deficiency leads the leaves on the lower side turn yellow and begin to fall off.

  • Nitrogen Toxicity

Leaves become excessively dark green, and their tips turn down. This is also known as the claw.

  • Nutrient Burn

Nutrient burn causes the plants have burnt tips

  • Phosphorous Deficiency

  • Potassium Deficiency

The leaves begin capping and pointing up.

  • Male Plants

Remove all plants that have both female flowers and a pollen sac to prevent pollination. These will often decrease the quality of CBD hemp oil produced after harvest. Any plants with bananas growing on the buds are male plants. During the time of stress, these bananas or stamens will also appear directly on a female plant. These produce pollen and do not even need to be open to make seeds. You, therefore, need to ensure you remove them immediately they begin growing. You will distinguish a male and a female plant by looking at whether the plant has produced any buds.
