guys my plant is in if 12/12 cycle about two weeks now and the leaves are turning yellow and dying in some spots, these aren't the fan leaves either they are the flower sections. I have a few spots that are still green but don't know how i can stop this or even what it is. Can someone help me please?

Can you fill out the troubleshooting form? No info given... impossible to say.
where is the form and what would i need to be filling out the form for? i thought i could just post a question and have people answer it, that's the way it use to be
I use regular water about a 16oz water bottle every day or every other day depending on how dry the soil is, i have a 400W HPS bulb for the light, i have not added any nutes as far as mirical grow or store bought things, I have added some Seltzer for CO2 once in a while followed by water. I have used a technique that was told to me on here at one time of drying banana skinns in the over slowly and then grinding them up and placing them into water for the Potassium to be extracted, i added about 8oz to the soil followed by 8oz of water to help flush it through. One plant had died on me out of two, i cut the dead one out from the base of the stem, if i pulled it i thought that it might damage the other roots of the healthy plant. Can someone please help, if you need further explaination on something please ask.
Anyone who would try to tell you waht was wrong with your plants based on 'they have yellow leaves with spots' is going to be full of shit.Quote:

First let's talk banana peels. Potassium is present in bananas, but it's not the only thing, and the skins aren't really useful as much besides compost for your outdoor plants. Pretty much EVERYHITNG once living MUST be composted before microbial action makes the nutrients available to plants. Google 'compost tea' or look in 'organic' for lots of recipes. Also, extracting metals from plant/animal tissues is done in an acidic environment- I do this in a lab for my day job- pH to 2.0 or less with nitric acid. Really, far better to buy packaged nutrients where this has all been done and you get a full suite of nutes, both NPK and micronutes, stabilized for use on plants.
Next, seltzer water. BIG no-no!!!! CO2 in solution goes to carbonic acid and will use up the lime buffer in your soil, while doing less than nothing for the plant, whose roots want OXYGEN. Not CO2. It's possible you have ruined the soil. You need to check the pH of your soil runoff to make sure it has not dropped to below 6.5.
Also you have multiple plants in one pot? Noo! One plant per pot!
Given that you have added no nutrients, I'm going to assume that your plants are at the very least HUNGRY. You should feed them some fertilizer!

Also read the link in my sig, because it explains a lot of stuff that will help you in the future.
what is the best nute that i can add in the flower cycle then? I don't really have a lot of run off, i try not to over water them. As far as having more then one plant in a pot, it was not intended to stay like this but before i knew it they were growing and didn't want to remove them cuase the roots were most likely intertwinded and didn't want to damage them. Thanks for the reply

Use a cannabis-specific bloom nute, like canna, botanicare, foxfarm, etc.
Runoff pH is something you PURPOSELY do- you water too much , with plain water, on purpose, to check the soil conditions. There's a sticky about it at the top of the problems section.
