That is awesome info I do have really hard water.

the hard water will deposit excessive calcium and potassium in your top soil if planted in ground, over time it will build and alkalize the top soil and cause some alkaline micronutrient lockouts (manganese and stuff, will even lock it out of root fungi).


high clay and shale allows you to lockup the extra calcium and potassium in the clay/shale in exchange for some bioavailable silica by acidifying the top soil with soil acidifier. Potassium burn/manganese lockout from hard well water sneaks up on you. Itll be fine for a good long time, then it wont be and youll have a bunch of burnt leaf tips and margins and nothing but bull thistle and dandelions will want to grow the following season lol.

I have the same black on a few of my bud sites too. I think it might be phytoplasma spread by sucking insects like leaf hoppers.
At least it might be. Here's a pic of mine. And no, I don't know what to do about it except go nuclear on all the bugs and I can't do that.
Outdoor growing in Southeast Michigan you learn very quickly to expect lots of losses. Good thing they allow 12 plants.

Are you going to go nuclear on the plant?

What are you going to use on the leaf hoppers I have some but I don’t think they are causing to much damage as of yet and I think they’re almost done as in life cycle I don’t spray either chuck just some potassium bicarbonate if pm shows up later in flower

I have a lot of tiny leafhoppers, but they don’t do much damage, and that stuff hasn’t seemed to to have shown up on the West Coast! Interested to see what happens to Mr. T’s plant and cpurrrs.

My gals show all the things that leave scars on leaves but flowers seem to ok so I bare with it to a point then I could get nasty and trim them off

I think I used some insecticidal soap on them years ago but just on the stems with a small rag if I remember correctly

Just gonna let it ride and see what happens. Went out this morning and found a full grown mantis on a plant. It's a sign. 🫤
My garden IS an experiment to see which plants can survive here. If I try to interfere too much it will invalidate the results.
(or I'm just lazy. LOL)

Keep your eyes peeled! Stuff sounds pretty contagious! With leafhoppers vectoring it!

We are allowed 4 in my area so I have to minimize loss.
