I feed with about 700ml of water and get plenty of run off. I also water around the edges first but seems the coco in air pots drys and shrinks nearer the edges.It looks to me like you splashed water on the leaves during watering. There's no real sign of calcium issues that I can see. What I want to hear about is your watering practices. It looks moist directly under the plant but it looks like its pretty dry as you reach the edge of the pot. I don't grow in coco but I think you want it to be evenly watered through out the whole pot. Your roots won't grow into dry soil/coco.
I have splashed it a little as i have the others but always have a spray bottle at hand to rinse off any nutrients. I have looked a little more into it and maybe be Manganese. Going to try lower my pH slowly of my feed as read manganese is up taken better with pH lower than 6, also iron and zinc which are connected apparently. Trying this as don't think I've fed lower than pH 6 a lot this time round and the pattern of the affected areas. Will update in a few days. Thank you all.Splashed feed mix was my first thought, too. Def not magnesium deficiency, that’s a tiger stripe effect.
I’m thinking plant disease of some type. I did some searching and found Cercospora leaf spot, usually found on hydrangeas or crepe myrtles. Looks a lot like your photo—dark circles with a tan center. It may not be this one, but it would send me heading in the direction of the various leaf spot infections.So after a few more days the spots are appearing further up the plant and i have definitely not splashed any feed on it.
Any further ideas?
that plant has herpes, sorry to be the one to tell youI’m thinking plant disease of some type. I did some searching and found Cercospora leaf spot, usually found on hydrangeas or crepe myrtles.

Herpes?? I thought you said you had a hairpiece!!that plant has herpes, sorry to be the one to tell you
No leaves touching the soil and since they've reached 4 weeks I've done a slight defoliation and cut off infected leaves and so far no further markings. The other 3 plants all seem good and have not shown similar markings at all. Will keep an eye out and update and thanks for the responses.If it's only the leafs that are touching the soil surface. I would say that's it
I have been giving calmag for the last week and the week before i was foliar spraying Epsom salts till the calmag came and i could investigate what it could be. All other plants are fine but this one has since developed these markings now.I vote calcium but it could have been a hiccup with your watering that caused it. Is there any calcium being supplemented?
Seems cold and a bit overwatered to me but I didn't read all too much into the thread.
Same plant, is this the tiger markings you mean?Splashed feed mix was my first thought, too. Def not magnesium deficiency, that’s a tiger stripe effect.
Not really, mg def in my experience (twice) the stripes tends to be more distinct and without the apparent necrosis. It’ll also start from the outer edges and move toward the center of the leaf, although I have not personally seen that particular expression. Have you looked at any sites with images of various deficiencies?Same plant, is this the tiger markings you mean?
Looks kinda like Calcium def to me.Same plant, is this the tiger markings you mean?
most amazing advice i've read all monthWhen you plant a small plant into a large container the excess amount of water can cause the plant's cells in the tissue to burst. Like filling a balloon with too much water. As the plant gets used to the water volume it should recover nicely if you don't continue to overwater.
