Looks ok me, but you'll need to fiil out the troubleshooting form (the link is in my signature) to get any meaningful answers.
Stuff like how long it has been in that pot, and are you letting soil dry between waterings, is helpful info, too. (cut-n-paste the form here, and answer the q's the best you can.)

Hi smithyskunk :thumbsup:

Yeah, what Rusty said !!

Judging from the size of that stem, you will be coming up on root-bound pretty quick. A little fresh soil and more of it in a larger pot (I suggest 5Gal),
may help the small N deficiency I see.

You will get better input after the form is posted.

Good Luck

rust spots, probably a tiny bit low on calcium, or kept too wet ... no big deal, looks OK I think ... Haze can be tricky, and you're doing pretty good ... the yellowing is quite likely normal, during flowering, they do that, as the plant draws up it's nutrients ... and, yes, you may be getting rootbound, also ... good call ... :jointsmile:

hi thanks for the help and

was wondering do i need to repot through flowering cos i was told to that once in final pots let roots show at draineg holes then go to 12/12.so do i need to repot

If you can see roots coming out of the holes in your potter its transplanting time.

I usually finish my plant in a 12 inch potter....but I transplant from a 10 inch potter to the 12..... veg for 1 week .....then cut the lights..... the roots still expand for the 12-14 day tranferance period inbetween veg and bud.

Being rootbound and tring to finish your plant your actually reducing your yeild potential.

Most strains will have yellowing of the leaves while in bud cycle....I do.

I get those rust spots too....when I need to transplant

so how comes i need to re pot as i did basiacly the same thing as you i whent fro small pots to 8'' then to the 10 lire pots waited about a week then switched to 12/12.so do you think thats my problem and iv not much room left in my tent (will it get much bigger)and was told thats how you control how big it gets.another thing i got told was the plant consentrates on flowering and not root groth so please correct me if im wrong as its my first time growing.



thanks

10 liters is what...2 1/2 gallons or so? A tad small for finishing a plant this large.
Even if you do things exactly the same, you will likely have slightly different results. Different nutes, different schedules, different soil...and different strains. As time goes on, you'll get to know your strain(s) better, and will learn to adjust. :thumbsup:
Some folks like to transplant a couple of weeks into 12/12, I usually do so at the switch, or at least within the first week, but have gotten lazy and had to do so a few weeks into 12/12. Slows bud formation, but she rapidly recovers.

so do you think thats my problem and iv not much room left in my tent (will it get much bigger)and was told thats how you control how big it gets.

During flower, you'll want to let her have some footroom. Pot size isn't a really good way to restrict growth, either. (you can put a 20 pound fish, in a 10 gallon fish tank, but it won't thrive) That's a sativa dom, isn't it? How tall was she when you put her into 12/12 ? A general rule-of-thumb...sativa doms can tripple their size, or more.

another thing i got told was the plant consentrates on flowering and not root groth so please correct me if im wrong as its my first time growing. thanks

Technically, you are growing and caring for a pot of roots. Flowers (buds) are the by-product of those efforts.

Next time, perhaps you can look into the low-stress method of twisty-tie training (bending and tying-back the growing shoots), topping or fimming, early introduction to 12/12...

How much headroom does she have available between lights and plants?

[smithyskunk]

ok so i am going to repot it tomorow but i dont have alot of head room only about 40cm from my lights it seems the heat is ok its not burning the plant in any way
