How to diagnose anything
The process matters more than any single symptom page. Follow it and most problems resolve themselves within a week.
- 01
Observe
Record where the symptom appears — old growth, new growth, tips or edges. Location narrows the cause faster than colour.
- 02
Measure
Take pH, EC, leaf temperature and humidity before changing anything. Diagnosing without numbers is guessing.
- 03
Change one thing
Adjust a single variable and wait a full growth cycle of a few days. Stacked changes make the result unreadable.
