Magnesium Chlorosis
Magnesium chlorosis is a nutrient deficiency condition in cannabis plants characterized by yellowing of leaf tissue while veins remain green, typically appearing first on older leaves. Magnesium (Mg) is a core component of chlorophyll molecules, so insufficient bioavailable magnesium impairs photosynthetic capacity. The condition commonly develops in heavily fed plants, those grown in high-potassium media, or in environments where pH lockout prevents magnesium uptake. Breeders and cultivators use recognition of magnesium chlorosis as a diagnostic tool to optimize nutrient formulations and growing protocols. This classification represents an observable phenotypic stress response rather than a genetic trait.

Breeders working on cultivar resilience evaluate how different genetic backgrounds respond to magnesium-stress conditions during phenotyping. Understanding varietal susceptibility informs nutrient protocol development for commercial production environments.
