HELP NEEDED! super skunk leafs with tiny brown spots, spreading?

Hi fellow growers.

My setup is a 6sq meter balcony enclosed in glas

Better safe than sorry lights 2x 125w cfls.

Strain superskunk (27 of them) in soil
canna tera neutrission plan

I have had 1 day with over heating around 34c for a cupple of hours

I ran in to a problem some week ago, about 2 weeks in flower.

the bottom leafs on a cupple of plants started to get smal brown spots, i was shure it as a p-k diff
so i boosted the next wash with ekstra neuts.

but it dossent seem to help couse the spotted leafs just keeps on spreading...

what is it and what can i do to save my crop???

Looks like a possible Phosphorous deficiency. Plants use high amounts of P during flowering.

Thats what i thaugt.

But i currently use 30ml of canna tera flower neut every other wash (in 10l water)

Plus i add 5ml of p-k 1314 (slowly increased from 1,5ml from first week of flower)

but they still look sad?

shuld i use more p-k 1314 additive or is my plant problem caused by something els???

what size planters are you using?

please fill out trouble shooting form to let us get the whole picture.

Your Equipment:
1.) Type and wattage of lights. (2x 125w CFL's)

2.) Distance from tops? (40-50cm)

3.) Reflector type? (1 cool tube, 1 bat wing)

4.) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? (yes its a balcony)

5.) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? (2 circulation fans and i open up the sliding glassdoors for fresh air)

Your medium:
6.) Specific brand and type of soil (some hi brand pree mixed cannabis soil 6-7 ph value)

7.) Size of container (3L.)

Your nutrients and water:
8.) Source of water. (filtered by osmosis)

9.) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen adawa)

10) Method of adjusting water ph. (PH Up)

11) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per L) and current feeding schedule.
(canna tera flores 2-2-4 i watter every third day and feed neuts every other time)

12) Any additives or tea's? (B-Cuzz pk 13-14)

13) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
(all stable but pk 13-14 keep on increasing by 1 untill a max 15ml pr 10L water)

15) Do you foliar feed? (no)

Your growroom:
16) Indoors outdoors? (both its on an enclosed balcony on 8th and top floor)

17) What size of closet, room? (6-10 sq m)

18) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? (25-30c)

19) Noticed any insects in the growroom? (non at all)

Your strain:
20) What strain are you growing? (Indica- super or early skunk)

21) From seeds.

Just a suggestion but did you check out your roots because 3L planters seem a bit small for those tall plants, possibly some root lock going on their.

Same 3l size pots i used in all my setups/grows (for around 200 plants now) and this is the first time i have seen this kind of spottings...
It started of not in the top or at the bottom, but right smack in the middle of the plant.
but only on its larger leafs, after the spots started to show the leafs slowly dryed out, they keept the fresh green coulor but feelt stiffer than normal.

I agree with gone-phishing. You need bigger pots. The leaves look light green in the pic so im assuming they need nitrogen. The brown spots look like mag def to me. Since you are feeding nutes this means the plant is not taking any in. So I assume lockout. Transplant into bigger pots with fresh soil and i believe youll see a big difference within a week. Make sure your ph is around 6.5ish and you should be good to go. Good luck

ok it actualy sounds like a root clogg could be the couse of my problem, i just couldent figure out why it showed as a dif when i feed neuts as you wrote.

Thanks alot to all of you, i will try to get some bigger planters and i update you in the results.

Anytime helping is what its about and improving. I'am just beginning and experimenting with my first grow as we speak with a bean I pulled out of one of my bags till I get some cash to buy a bomb strain, so im sure I'll be posting a shit ton of questions. Looking forward to see your progress bro, peace.

Got hold of 30- 6,5L pots this morning, free of charge anyway!!!
They are twice the size i used before, hope they will do the job.

Does this problem only slow them a bit in growth or will they suffer long term and not produce as much?

The roots actually didnt look that bad. At least from the pic. I figured theyd be way worse in those small pots. The green on them looks alot better than the first pic you posted also. Be sure you give them a good watering of plain phd water. Like a miniflush of the old soil then you can go back to the normal routine after it dries. Thats just what i would do. Might break away any unwanted buildups in the old soil.
I would think they will recover fine. Maybe a week or so behind your normal but i think they will do good. Alot of people on here do monthly flushes to break away any salt buildups and such caused by nutes. Good luck

I agree I thought the roots would be a lot more worse. Looking good though R-L-B

Just an update on my plants and problems in general.

First of all it was not a nute or planter problem i ran in too.

When i first planted them on the balcony i also added 2 ekstra wegg lights just to be safe, i changed these to flower lights to make my ladys flower after 2 months, but as they where on a balcony they where not getting 12/12 as they shuld, becouse of the street lights outside and some of them actualy changed back to vegg!!!

but before i figured all of this out i wanted to give them the best, so i installed my 400w too, but as i did this a cop drives by on the streets below, when all 3 bulbs 600w of orange light is going from side to side on the 8th floor balcony, and you bet it he turns his bike around, i just made it and truned off the lights in time, so he couldent see where it came from when he parked under our row...
I shit you not everything just happend in slow motion, as his bike stops just under our blok
(here they have on these green fluo vests) and he looked and he looked and then drove of!
After that i was based in the kitchen the rest of the day with my binoc`s keepin watch... same night i had made arrangements to move every single plant too a safer place.

so now they are inside under better conditions, given 12/12 and they are lookn great:rastasmoke:

Wow thats crazy. Glad they are doing good now. Im still willing to bet that they are gonna enjoy those bigger pots:thumbsup:

DANG! looking good though

If they're looking better indoors, it's probably because of lower temp than 34C. That's too hot. You were seeing heat damage.
