Most deficiencies present as a color change on the leaves, moving from the center outwards or from the edge of the leaf moving inwards. Deficiencies can appear on older leaves first or newer leaves first. Mobile nutrient (such as NPK) deficiencies will show on older leaves first as the plant moves nutrients to the younger leaves. Deficiencies will remain in leaves that have already finished growing even after it is remedied in fresher leaves. This means you must be patient in remedying mobile deficiencies
 
Nutrients can be added to the growing medium before planting if possible, to avoid defciency.
The most common deficiencies that I have come across are Magnesium and Calcium. There are liquid nutrient solutions (e.g. CalMag) that provide both. This should be added to the soil before planting if possible. Alternatively, one can use organic additions (e.g Dolomite Lime) but note that some sources will change the pH of the medium.
 
Using too many nutrients can create a nutrient burn on the leaves, primarily on the [[Anatomy_of_Cannabis#Apex|apex]]
