Irydyum's Kush grow

[irydyum]

They don't go all the way through (yet), but they seem to be getting s l o w l y worse. I can't say that I much care either since everything is producing well and it doesn't seem to be affecting them.

I'm not puzzled really, i'm fairly certain it's the Bushmaster that's responsible. Whether it's presence in the soil caused the soil chemistry to change (since I use organic soil), or the actual plant changed, I know it affected something, i'm just not positive what exactly.

There's not really a possibility of light burn/humidity, I never notice any condensate anywhere, and it's too uniform in it's appearance to be related. I would expect something like that to be sporadic, where this is very uniform. It has started at the leaf margins near the serration, and ever so slowly crept inward toward the veins. All instances are the same pattern, just varying in how much they were affected.

It's pretty much isolated to the larger, older fan leaves. I don't see any spotting at all on the leaflets near the buds, so like I said before, I'm not really too worried about it.

I just wanted to throw it out there so everyone could see it well, and keep a close eye when they use BM. I'm leaning toward a change of sorts in soil chemistry or in the microorganisms that reside in the soil. I'd be interested to see if anyone that's used BM in a hydro system had symptoms like this. My guess would be no, but it's just a guess. I only say that because it appeared gradually a week or so after application. I would think that a res change in hydro may keep this from ever showing up. Just speculation though.

good speculation...i get those on my bigger fans also...i never worried about it but wondered what caused them....now we know :jointsmile:

"and knowing is half the battle!"

I used to love G.I.Joe when I was a kid. Always used to pretend I was Snake Eyes and sneak up on people :rambo:

Cartman, drop a pic in over here of it if you don't mind. I'll grab a pic of mine tonight, and we can compare notes on em. I'm guessing they'll be from the BM, but it would be cool to see them side by side.

Took a look at yours, spots look quite similar, but instead of originating on the margins, mine sort of "popped" across the whole leaf a couple days after application of the BM.

The strain that developed the spotting is apparently quite sensitive (Kandy Kush). It had some fan issues on a previous grow, but this is different. Three different "Purple" strains on the same regimen, show no ill effects.

This grow, I didn't add *any* nutes. Simply up-potted with FFOF, until hitting 'em with the BM. I gave 2 applications @ full-strength, without any flushing. I'm sure the FS application is a bit much, but I wanted them to stop..*NOW*!

I think I'll try a flush, like you mention, next time.

Sorry for the crappy pic, getting this camera to focus where I want can be a challenge. You can see the spotting in the background on this fuzzy shot.

Another 6 days down, another who knows yet to go. Things are really looking quite frosty all over the place right now, I'm shocked as to how early they have all decided to trich up. Since they are some smaller clones, the size isn't very impressive, but the trichs are truly coming out everywhere.

Starting to see some yellowing in the older fans, nothing I'm too concerned about. Just switched this week from Big Bud to Overdrive, and still running the Bud Candy. I'm watering every 2-3 days as well, the smaller containers are hard to keep up with. I'm used to the 5 gallons that go up to 5 days without drying. This just gives me more opportunity to feed them, and they are getting the wet/dry cycle they need.

Here's a few pics from today. Finally, some respectable bud porn!

Here we are day 37, things are right on schedule. Been feeding weekly still, will continue for about another week or so. Don't really have too much to add, so on with the pictures:thumbsup:

First set here is the Sierra Kush. Nuggets are dense as hell and frosting over quite nicely. Some of the larger older fans are yellowing off now, right on time.
