I'm no pro at growing, but maybe it's nute burn from spilling or splashing a little bit of nutes on the leaves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang420 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm no pro at growing, but maybe it's nute burn from spilling or splashing a little bit of nutes on the leaves... so what should i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMedicalMJ Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 If it is nute burn pour slower and lower down to stop splashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang420 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 If it is nute burn pour slower and lower down to stop splashing ok will do...but the plant should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMedicalMJ Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yes, it should be. You could always go over to those leaves in ? and spray them down with a little water to rinse any residual nutes off. I am sure someone a LOT smarter than I am will be here shortly to help you!!! Here is one place to look as it could be a couple other things. I do hope it is ok I post this link here. It really goes through lots of problems with photos http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks-ThankYou.htm I really think you should include a bit more info for others to help you perhaps like what you are feeding, what grow medium you are using and things like that I hope the girls grow into big beautiful healthy ladies!

Jipo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 What are you feeding them with, what brand, how much. Soil or hydro? Do you mix raw nutrients up close to them? It doesn't look like mites, but nute burn generally starts at the tips not in random spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutbutter Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 possible PK shortage. Might be caused by Ph imbalance. Ph imbalance will cause a nute blockage. You put the nutes in and the plant doesn't use them. .. Ph Soil? If so test the run off water for the Ph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold off on tiger bloom until you flip the switch into 12/12. ph is 6.8 i have soultion to lower if need be 6.8 is perfect for Ocean Forest soil.

DLD420 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Just a guess like you say not a good picture but the rest of the leaves look a little heat stressed, the way they are kinda puffy looking between the veins don't laff they look like mine did and the spots were from hot spots on mine . Are the spots anywhere near the top of the plant? Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold off on tiger bloom until you flip the switch into 12/12. 6.8 is perfect for Ocean Forest soil. Yep... keep em off the Tiger Bloom until they are into flower... Kida sounds like a nute splash or lock... Are you following a feeding schedule for them?? If PH is right... I would back off the feeding just a bit.. And possibly raise your light just a bit..

continuobrisa Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 You say you've been growing this plant for 5 weeks. Have you been giving it nutrients every other watering for 5 weeks? Maybe you might want to flush the plant with 15 gal. of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jipo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 room tem is 72 and i moved the lights up a bit I'm going against heat stress, after looking at BG's pic version I'm thinking its the beginning phase of magnesium deficiency. Dr's orders as follows, The next 3 feedings should be plain water PH'd to 6.8-7.2, then return to feeding with Grow Big and Big Bloom. If the problem persists and gets worse get pictures and some cal/mag product to add to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jipo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i followed the feeding schudule. i did moved lights up and im going to back off nutrients a bit The feeding schedule calls for 12/12 on week 5 which is why it changes over, as long as you run 18/6 you want to use grow big not tiger bloom.

lkline300 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I agree leaves look like maybe too much water. Could it be a little rust fungus or mold ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
