need help plant is going down hill fast

apichot · April 27, 2012

Hi all. I have one of my Roma plants that has gone down hill in the last couple of days. The leaves have brown spots all over them mostly the ones in the sun and most of the plant is wilting. This plant is growing in a hydroponic deep water culture and I'm afraid that it has some sort of nutrient deficiency. I am attaching pictures. I'm hoping someone has some words of wisdom because I'm at a loss. If it helps I am using GH maxigrow and maxibloom.

I know nothing about hydroponics, but that certainly looks physiological (nutrient based) rather than a disease. Hopefully a 'ponics guru comes along.

looks like a mineral deficiency due to the interveinal necroses which is exhibited in manganese manesium or potassium deficiencies.. in potassium deficiency there is also necroses which one of your photos demonstrated good luck

Maxigro and Maxibloom have good macro and micro nutrients. They are supposed to be complete. You might want to call GH and talk to one of their folks there-they have been extremely nice when I have phoned them. You can email photos to them.
