Well, tlranger my friend, you are definitely a wise, strong, and caring man! My Grandpa George endured two separate cardiac bypasses - both 10-20 years ago. He also suffered (yet lived) through bouts (and chemo treatment) of prostate, colon, and lung cancers from that time until about 8 months ago, when he succumbed to the diseases (and the treatment, which he always felt made him much weaker than the disease itself). Grandpa George drove me to become an Eagle Scout, which I would NOT have become without him. He also drove me to become an athlete, which helped me afford college with the help of a scholarship. He taught me to cook initially, which led me to pursue cooking school after I realized my original college plans were not what I was really looking for.Quote:

Just knowing your background and reading your stories and experiences makes me feel like I literally have a farmer holding my hand through my problems, and it takes away so much worry and anxiety. Even if the suggestions are not always used, it is comforting to have someone with a lot of experience offering suggestions. I can't imagine the help we need getting much better than friendly advice from you, Weezard, catbuds, and ALL the other knowledgable growers (SO SORRY if I didn't mention anyone else specifically by name but I love you all for your willingness to help)!
So keep taking care of that heart so you can continue to healthily share your wisdom with us :)
yup i second this motion...i need my hand held to the toilet let alone growing buds...and doog an EAGLE SCOUT? damn they didnt teach you how to grow buds with a stick and two rocks...? would thought they had a ganja badge...whats your take on the new openly gay scouts...just curious...^^^^and this isnt considered thread jacking IMO if it is throw my ass back in the HOLE for two weeks...GLADLYQuote:

quick question are these pictures signs of "sun burn" or nute burn....and why is only happening on two leaves i rotate the plants through out the day in a clockward motion, to give a constant change....but the top of the plant has no signs of stress at least to me...here are some pics...pick them brains fellows...im stumpedAttachment 297406Attachment 297407Attachment 297408
Hey my friend the coloring on those leaves, to my n00b eyes, looks like what I had going on with my ladies - Calcium deficiency. I was confused when I had those almost EXACT same-looking spots on some of my leaves. It confused me because I did some research, both in my copy of Ed Rosenthal's The Marijuana Grower's Handbook, and also various forums, to find out that it appeared they were suffering from a Ca deficiency. I feed my ladies Sea-Cal (from Humboldt Nutes, based on their nute schedule), so I assumed they should not have any Calcium problems. So, in talking with the nice people at my local hydro shop, they explained that this (and other nutrient deficiency problems) can occur if soil pH is off (too acidic), or also if the plants are over-watered. I believe that I had both the over-watering and non-ideal pH problem going on. Since correcting those two issues, and slightly increasing my dose of Sea-Cal, I have no longer seen these spotting issues.
So, if that is what's going on with your plants, I would first try to wait a little longer (1-2 hours longer) between waterings from day to day, and also be very diligent in checking your pH - prior to watering, and checking the runoff when you water. I bet adjusting those things will help you like it helped me. It won't make the already-existing spotting go away in the current leaves, but new growth should NOT develop those spots.
see what youre saying makes sense....but....why would only one leaf show this...and at the middle of the plant? why wouldnt new growth have the same kind of issue...if it were on more leaves id be like "okay hes right" but with one leaf is this possible? the spots when i look at em with a magnifying glass they are see through almost...a transparent yellow brown....ive been following fox farms feeding schedule...and am using fox farms ocean soil or whatevr....ive never thought of ph"in my runoff water..if that water is off how do i adjust soil ph? i have been using the hydroponics ph up and down kit...and a ph tester...(but this is all for water prior to watering....im starving for this green knowledge....enlighten me....PS packers BLOW.

If they are "pinking", that's 2 votes for lockout from low PH swings.

In which case, adding calmag won't help.
That said, I don't know from auto-flower.
Near the equator, they're almost all auto-flower. :)
Aloha,

Edit:
@budbro,
Do those spots look like they were "scooped" out?
Went back and clicked up them photos.
Good pics!
Wish everyone would do that kind of resolution.
Never mind about the scooped, question.
No sign of Thrips.
And I do see the tell-tale signs of phosphorus lockout at the fan leaf centers.
Good call d00g!
The location of the symptoms tells you exactly when your PH was low.
If the old growth is normal, and the new growth looks good, it was transitory and mild.
You can simply carry on. :)
Looks like you've taken good care of her.
And now have learned to check the water's PH each and every time.
I learned, the hard way, that the PH of my tap water is a moving target.
(It's an Island thing.
Surf up? maybe PH guy no come work today. :D )
Aloha,
Weeze
Haha PH guy shows up to the water treatment plant, drips 10 drops of PH up or down into the giant tanks for the day, then goes back to surfing!
flush for a few days? distilled water ph'd at 6.1-6.3? skip a nute cycle?...maybe do a nute flush? sledgehammer kinda shit? is your "sign" the purpling at the center? and if so...is the flush enough or is there another step needed?Quote:
