Looking for advice on leaf condition!!!
Hi Everybody,
This is my 1st hydroponic indoor grow. I currently have 6 plants (3 White Widows and 3 AK47). Purchased the seeds on the internet from overseas. This week I started to notice rusty/metallic/copper colored spots with yellowing of the leaves. These are located on the fan leaves. Please click on the pics to get an enlarge view of them. I've read a few different threads, but I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!:bigsmoke:

Looking for advice on leaf condition!!!
Hi Mr. Shake,
I'm using the Botanicare Pro Blend Pro Grow 3-2-4. Even though the plants are 4.5 weeks old and approximately 10 inches tall, i'm only using enough dosage for a seedling. I'll probably increase the dosage to the mid-size vegetative next week. Thanks!

Looking for advice on leaf condition!!!
try adding Cal-Mag+ to your water, looks like some calcium deficiency, maybe magnesium, too ... try 10ml/gallon at first, may be able to cut to 5ml, after a week, or two ... get a magnifying glass, and keep an eye on undersides of leaves, check for critters, too, while you're at it ... good growing :jointsmile:

Mr. Shake, I'm actually using the Botanicare Pro Blend Grow 3-2-4.
Image Reaper, thank you for the feedback. I'll attempt the Cal-Mag+ this weekend. Hopefully, this will be the end of that. :greenthumb:
I'll post pics in a week or so for an update. Sometimes, I wish we had health insurance for our plants!!!imp:

Here are some recent photos of my plants at 5.5 weeks into veg. They're currently in their 1st week of flowering. I think after the calmag, soaking the hydroton and sanitizing the reservoir and hydroponic system, the plants seem to be getting better. Thanks for everybody's feedback!
