Letting water sit on the leaves can cause them to rot.
And foliar feeding TOO aggressively can burn your plants.
Do you hvae pics?
A hint about foliar feeding or any time you spray your plants, a bit of neem oil in the spray is a very effective fungistat.
If you read my posts I sound like a freaking neem salesperson, but the stuff is a miracle!!

Don't spray your plants with ferts you silly person. :p Ferts go into the soil and into the roots, not on the leaves. You're probably burning the leaves spraying it on there.
So stop spraying your plants leaves, and put the water/fert in the soil where it belongs. Trust me, you'll like the results a whole lot better. :)

Do you need neem oil?
Neem oil is only supposed to be used when spider mites are a problem. Are spider mites eating your plant? If not, then neem oil is not needed.

All right chowder, a couple things.
1. Foliar feeding is good practice if you know what you're doing. It is excellent for reversing individual nutrient deficiencies; I do it for Fe/N supplementation.
2. Neem oil is not just for spider mites. It repels many other types of insects, causes them to be unable to feed, and kills them. It also keeps some types of pests from completing their life cycles.
Neem is also a fungicide and fungistat, which means it can prevent and even cure fungal problems when used as a spray or systemic.
Furthermore, it is a leaf glossing agent and makes your leaves smoother and thus more difficult for mold spores to settle on.
Regular use of neem can prevent all sorts of bad things happening.
Easymack, your plant doesn't look as bad as expected. In fact, it looks wicked healthy. The foliar feeding seems to be working!

Of course.
It also can be genetics I know DJ Short has some strains that can be pretty funky looking. Inbreeding ?

both these plants are under four cfls so foliar feeding, and leaf rotting arent a problem, i can drench them and theyll dry right up perty quick

right now i have 3 plants, 2 are at 2 weeks and one is at about 1.
The first 2 leaves on the older ones are deformed (not the round ones) but the rest are fine, it almost looks like the leaves stretched, can that happen?
easymack

sure that can happen, prolly nothing wrong with it, does it look ne thing like my deformalities in my pic?
Still kinda hard to see really but here is a Blue Moonshine actually three 2 being males and the one on the right is really deformed as you can see and I let the males drop there pollen collected some for storage and pulled them all. I would worry not about it as you look at the plant on the left in the back I think just above the pot you can see it had some malformed leafs but recovered and the female didn't so she got tossed. If it is you'll see in the next couple weeks.
