Is this plant right under the light? It looks short and bushy and I'm wondering if you have more a heat stress problem than nutes. Putting a bright light close to a plant might cause it to grow short and bushy along with showing heat related leaf tissue death. I wonder if 18 inches on a 600 sodium is too close.

part of the bushiness is probably that i flowered under mh for 2 weeks to keep them shorter then switched to hps. here are my other 2 tell me what you think.

Those two look great. I have to guess that the spotted plant was the one right under the light. Since you have three, why don't you consider putting the plants in a triangle shaped position, with an opening in the middle. Also raise the light some. Some people say that a good rule to follow concerning lighting and its heat is to put your hand right above the plant and if you can feel the heat from the light on the back of your hand, the light is probably too close and should be moved up some. you could buy a mover but personally I wouldn't want to spend the money for just three plants. So how about raising the light and putting the plants in a triangle shape, then spin the pots around to expose the other side of the plant to more light once or twice a day. That should be fine. Best of luck.

If you are in soil your ph should be 6.2-6.8.....your soil, your nutes, your water, your runoff. Your ph is WAY too high.

not from what stinky told me it is not to high, i was told to get it towards 6.8 as she said 6.5 is to low for a soil grow. i have read the flush sticky many times and it contradicts what i was told to do as far as what is a good ph to use. here is my other thread i had where i was told this. http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...eaf-viens.html

Certainly not going to argue with you. Best of luck in your grow.

Have a good one.

im sorry i wasnt intending to be argumentitive, just trying to confirm which info is correct. both of you know alot more than i, im just confused as to where the ph should be.
