Ok fellow herbal enthusiasts, These plants seem to have some problems, After I looked up the symptoms I keep getting diff things. One either calcium def, or Manganese def, etc... but what one?!? I know they are not provided the best environment but they were fine up until a couple weeks ago. There are a couple diff ones, and each one has the yellow spots all over, and some don't that are in the same flower pot. And some of the larger leaves are drooping. Could anyone give me any advise as far as how this can be fixed? I have used just a generic fertilizer (24-8-16) on the leaves, and some added to the water. All of pots have been recently flushed. As far as Ph and all that...no clue, nubie here :(
Also, on one of them all of the sudden things started to grow out of where the pistils come out, its like a light green bunch of something, all over the buds on the plant. All males were removed far before any pol. what is this? and should I rip it out? And one of them on the top leaves just are very random, see 3rd pic. On the last pic in teh background, I forgot to take a pic of it but you can see what this has done to that plant, no more big leaves on top and all brown. thanks for all the help guys!
Use garden lime, looks like calcium; correct me if wrong.
lime is calcium and magnesium.

The random leaves in the buds are stress leaves. You probably have a light leak, and a bad one, to get stress leaves that bad.Also are your temps up close to 90?
That's not Ca def.
It looks like scarring from old thrip damage, or K def. You also have a nute burn going on, where you can see the tips of the bud leaves are scorched. Flsuh and feed a 1/4 strength nute solution. Check your runoff pH to eliminate that as a source of problems. Poor pH can lock out nutrients.

That's crazy! I guess they do get a little bit of light in the morning when it starts to get light out, other then that I can't say that they get any at night...hmmm. As far as temps, I can't say that they go over 80, it's only 6 40 watt floros on them now.
Scarring from old thrip damage? sorry but I'm not sure what that is! :(
but I will get a ph meter today and see what's up with that, I may be too late though. Some of them are pretty bad, will they still finish if I left them?
That's a first with the K def, havn't heard that one yet...

How far into flowering are they?

I suspect a dose of potassium will help ... IF it's potassium-deficiency, it won't kill the plant, and the damage is primarily cosmetic ... mix up some wood ashes with water, and use that for a freebie fix ... it won't fix damaged leaves, but the new ones should start growing in normally ... :smokin:

in my experience ya soil alkalinity is way off and ur food is too heavy for the soil conditions , is mimicking over feeding , with speckling of lower leaf spreading up wards , then the drying an curling up of said leaf .

Have you checked the Trichomes yet? They might be ready to harvest now, thats roughly 2 and a half months of flowering, and unless they are sativa, they should be pretty close to done.

Thanks for all the replies, it seems it might be more work trying to find out what the prob is then its worth. Since i'm so far along, it wouldnt matter. I havn't checked the trichomes yet, still waiting on my 30x mag to come in the mail :(
But I don't believe they are ready, I think its a mix of sativa and indica so some plants show theye maybe ready,some don't. I think this might just have to be an experimient :P how sad though, all perfect until recently. After the flushing, the soil never seems to dry out, still looks as wet as if I had just watered, maybe thats a prob..

poke something up through the drain holes in the bottom of your pots, perhaps the soil has hardened down there, and is not draining well ... :smokin:
