Pale Yellow/Brown bits on a few leaves
Please can someone diagnose the problems in the pics shown below.
The plant is in its 5th month and is in its 1st week of flowering...
The first 3 months of its life has been tough, just sitting in middle of room with a 22w CFL keeping it going, moved to 125w envirolite recently and made grow room (fans, etc see gallery) and since then its tripled in size etc.
These problems have been present for about a month or so now not gettin any worse or better really.
Rest of plant looks healthy apart from its shape, seems to be stretching alot?
I have added another pic of the plant as a whole, could you tell me if it looks slightly stretched if you know what i mean?
There are also many little tiny flys coming from the soil? I have a fly catcher (sticky thing) in the grow room which does catch a few. I have also sprayed some bug repellent that said it would not harm plants etc and was safe to use on fruit etc.
Any tips etc would be appreciated, loads of pic of plant (named pumba) are in my member gallery, take a look.

first pic=burns from touching lights.

the light hardly gives off any heat, its one of them envirolights. Although i will not rule that out i think thats unlikely. Any other suggestions or are you certain?

First pic=light burn. Those white patches have been sitting up against the CFL. It's not going to hurt my feelings if you don't believe me.
You have other issues though. Your whole plant looks pretty wilty.

Ok thanks alot ill move the plant away asap. Any idea on other pics?
Pale Yellow/Brown bits on a few leaves
do you have any obvious reasons as to why the plant might be wilty? could it be that it has spent to long under an unsufficient light? as if its trying to stretch to reach the light or something? or?

Looking at shoot to root ratio, I'm thinking you're probabley pretty rootbound.
You don't say what the medium or feed schedule are, so I can't give much advice there.
It does look to me as though there's an osmotic pressure issue,though.
Maintaining a tight node structure w/ CFLs requires some serious management. Don't know what the lighting array is, so I cant help ya there.
I think that you may have trouble finishing this plant out w/o repotting and radically upping the lumens.
But w/ a little more info, we can do more.

ok got new pot (bigger) and moved light away a tad. ill get pics. mates acutually growin it but will get medium/feed info with pics asap. money prevents any more lights so gna have to stick with what we got.

Ya know moka, those few light burns aren't going to hurt the plant overall. The benefit of moving the lights away to prevent what is essentially cosmetic damage is questionable.

ahh thats good to know. Quick question, will pulling leaves near the bottom that look nearly dead cause stress on the plant? most literally fall off when you touch them (only a few a week). This is normal right? :)
how bad do you think this will smell? cant have it smelling out the whole house now can we.
Im not gonna bother posting pic of new pot (just imagine). see how it goes from here ill update on this thread if anyones interested :thumbsup:
cheers

when they fall off almost by themselves, they are ready to fall off. The plant actually uses up stored nutrients in low leaves towards the end of flower, which is one of the reasons that even if a leaf looks yello, you shouldn't yank it until it comes free easily like that, because by then the plant has done what it's going to do with the reserves in that leaf.

ok quik update, buds are looking much bigger now!! as a whole plants looking much better, more healthy. can anyone give us an estimate on how much we shud expect off our plant? cause i really have not got a clue myself. :wtf: and double checking, how often do you need to water it? and how much now its in the flowering stage? :)

here's a link that should help you out

i water my plants once a week but i use smaller pot then you as i put many small clones to flower each week the easiest way to tell when to water is lift the pot if it is heavy it don't need watered ie like right after you water lift the pot then when you think it needs watered again lift the pot and after a time or 2 you should be able to tell when your plants need watered you could evan wait till one plant starts to wilt count the days then lift the pot to see how heavy it fells then lift your other pots to see if they are close to being ready to water aswell

just to bump the whole plant looking wilty question >
the soil was just general normal soil from diy store not sure what brand etc but it was sterilized. Was feeding it asda (food superstore uk) organic plant food (cheap stuff) for a 2 weeks and a half then stopped feeding it for a week then flushed it as wasnt sure if done too much. Since then only had a little bit of plant food for about 2 weeks but none in last 2 months. Its been in 3 different sized pots, under a 22w CFL for the first 3 and half months then moved into grow room with 125 Envirolite (red) and the 22w CFL with fans on constant. Have not really done much else.
any ideas? any tips on what to do now other than buy new light or spend cash to maximize yield? there are pics in the gallery if you need to see more of the plant. its in its 2nd week of flowering.

Holy crap that's an awfully small pot for that size plant. She should be in at LEAST a 3-5 gallon pot by now!!!
