Hey guys I'm a few weeks into veg on my new crop of ladies and just started to notice some blotchyness and rust marks on a few of the leafs on 2 of my girls.. Ive ran into the "rust mark" problem once or twice in the past but never the white blotchyness on one of them so I'm not sure how to counter this issue so any advice or input of any kind is greatly appreciated Thanks guyzz.. Few pics of my babies..
Need more dope. What are you feeding them, if anything?
If you're not, I usually recommend Dynagrow 7-9-5 for nute deficiencies. It has pretty much everything plants need. I say this because it looks like you have at least one nute def in that the small yellow spotting appears to be magnesium deficiency. So are you using a fertilizer at all?
Their under a single 1000w MH for veg right now then go to 1000w HP for flower with a 6 inch cool tube setup with inline fan so the temps are nice an cool in my tent.. I use advanced nutrients for my ferts i have only fed them once so far though with the basic nutes ya no the gro micro bloom 3 part tomorrow is my next feeding day so well see if things change then lol.. But its weird bc only 2 of them have the issue the other 2 are as healthy as can be so idkkk lol.. Oh and 3 of them are super silver and one is just a bag seed outta some good shit i got lol dunno if that helps at all
They're too short for their age. That will happen when the light is too close. If a light is too far away, plants will stretch, growing too tall for their age. 1000W is alot for just 4 plants. See about raising the light about a foot or so and keep raising it as they grow if you can. Otherwise you end up with very dense bushes. If that's what you want, then by all means continue. Some of the discoloration on those leaves look more like a genetic problem rather than a nute def. However, that small yellow spotting looks like a deficiency. You want to give ferts that have everything plants need to grow. You want to read the labels and make sure the ferts are complete. Don't give too much however or you create a different set of problems.
yeah, the light is overkill at this point. i wonder if whitem is using ph-perfect nutes? this has me interested as it is supposed to spread the nute intake without ph adjustment. what say you whitem?Quote:

and about the light being over kill lol this is them 6 days later from the first pics..

The light is not overkill lol and they are not too short... short plants get a chance to grow out rather than up... a bushy plant will produce more colas "more weed to smoke". and the most likely reason for the leaves turning yellow and getting blotchyafter your first feeding is that the nutes are too strong "THIS WILL NOT OCCURE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO WEAK O.o"... try using plain water for one or two waterings or use less nutes...
aww too bad, i keep hoping to hear from someone who is using ph-perfect lines. advance is just one thats using pp. from your first pics it seemed the light was keeping them short and squat now it looks like they are moving really good. what is the strength of your nutes? super silver haze? if so watch for stretch in flower, depending on pheno it could get rather tall. if possible check the runoff ph this may be more different than you think.Quote:

It's probably true that you ultimately get more product if you grow short, bushy plants indoors, however, a grower should make use of the verticle space too. Ideally you grow plants that are tall but not taller than the lights and fat but not fatter than the room can handle. When you can do that, then you know you've done it right.
Yea im going to change to my hp bulb and go 12/12 prob next week bc im worried about the height/stretching with the super silver but i got a decent amount of ceiling so i should be ok i hope lol.. I only feed them once a week and water every 3 days or so when the potters feel light to lift.. The first 2 feedings i went about half strength on the nutes so idk whats causing this but their all growing very well so i dont fukn know lol.. Oh and btw this is my 5th grow witht this setup and never had any heat or burning issues due to the light its a consistant 70 degrees inside with the light on.. Thaks for the input guys..
I will never understand why people say there is a such thing as too much light. If u can keep ur temps right then fuck it, give them 2000w. Sure it could be more than what u "need" to grow a plant but more light = more bud and faster growth. Only downside would be electricity consumption. Also plants r gonna stretch when they flower so so what if they r short in veg.
THANK YOU ^^^^ lool
well...energy consumption is my whole premise, flouros work fine at one inch from the tops for younglings theres no need to have two fucking thousand watts hovering over them. in flower is when that really starts to matter. not all strains stretch by the way.Quote:

Their each in a 3 1/2 gallon potter already same as i always used never had any issues yet lol.. You think i should stress them out at this point in their life to go bigger? What would i move them into 5 gallon pales?
It looks like you've got PH issues, i'd put a dome over the girls for a week raise the light 3-4 feet above the dome. Lift the dome once or twice a day for air exchange and watering. Before all this though perform a water runoff PH test and figure out where your at. Your using a shade right? I know it may sound like a stupid question but I cant imagine why you'd have the light so close if it was all being directed at the plant anyways.
my light is 3 feet from the tops of my plants lol
3.5 gallons is ok, and pics can be decieving aparrently. they looked smaller, my mistake. your close to ready for flower. 5 gl would not be needed unless you are going for heighth. then you would need more light as well. at this point dont panick by compensating. do what you know it should work out.:thumbsup:Quote:
