Hi, this is my first go with growing, i decided outdoor would be best for me. However I have run into an issue. Suddenly these little brown spots have a appeared on some of my leaves. Should i cut them and if so is there a way to prevent more of these spots from coming up. If they are not mold, how do i fix the problem.
here are some pics
Not mold, maybe slight bug damage, get the cedar chips outta there asap, and I'd also be real careful with topdressings of osmocote which I see you've used- It's easy to over-do granulated fertilizer; monitor for tips that look burnt and be prepared to flush if necessary.
wow thanks a lot, greatly apprecaited for the additional advise. where can i get liquid fertilizer, i couldn't find any at home depot. Is there a specific brand
You're about 1-1.5 hours south of me ;) It's bloom time!
Shultz bloom plus is a granular sold at home dePOT that is mixed with water before use and becomes essentially a liquid fert. But you already have a fert in there, so only add more if the plant looks hungry.
If you are near I-91, head up to Holyoke MA and there's a small but well-stocked hydro shop on Rt. 5 just heading north out of the city. It's called Liquid Sun and they stock a variety of 'specialty' ferts.
i was going to give them another week of veg before i initiate flowering

Gotta compost that stuff, and with pine type mulch in your heap, add a bit of lime to balance out the pH. It's not meant for potting use- cedar mulch on established garden plants with good root systems is one thing, but they are pretty acidic, and rotting wood chips scavenge N from the soil.
Alright I gotcha. I was just thinking in terms of pest control and not the cedar chips leaching out nitrogen.Quote:
