does anyone know what this could be??

[medicine_lady]

hey all, second grow but still new at this. didn't have this problem with the 1st grow. we have these brown rough patches and some spots on some of our leaves. these plants are about 8-9 weeks old. second picture from bagseed and got lucky to get a female. third is a clone of bagseed. grown in miracle grow potting soil. they've been flowering for about 2 weeks now and the patches seem to be getting worse. my fiance heard it could be rust fungus but i could not find any pics of spots that look like mine. :wtf: on top of that i believe we have n toxicity! gone too far to throw em away now! any feedback would be awesome. thanx in advance. pics may not be that great.sorry Attachment 280837Attachment 280838Attachment 280839Attachment 280840

We need more info on your grow.... Click on the troubleshooting form link in my sig.... Go there and copy the questions....then come back here, paste, then answer them....

After we know more, we can then make an educated guess....instead of a flat out guess....

My current guess - Root bound and a micro nute deficiency....possibly a pH issue as well....

Thanks CGI...i will post the form after work this evening....

Yeah, fill the form and we'll all take a look. Off the top of my head I'm going to guess that the miracle grow is the issue. When was the last re-pot? Those pots look small. My recommendation is to go out and buy a bag of foxfarms ocean forest, up-pot to something bigger, and then just plain water for two weeks. You really won't need much in the way of nutes if you go with the foxfarms. Remember, you won't see improvement in the damaged leaves. Damage done is damage done. You will look to the new leaves to indicate whether your remediation is working.

Lemme add this.... If ya'll don't mind? I experienced this as well. The rust spots are on the top of the leaves,correct? I was foliar feeding with KLN and forgot I had mixed it to double it's strength.. I sprayed the plants,which were in MG soil.. No spots at all before I sprayed them...

Have you be foliar feeding?

Ga.

[medicine_lady]

no i haven't foliar fed these at all as they r in flower. when i did it was just water in veg. repotted from 10inch round pot to a 2.8 gallon round about a week and a half ago and made a noob mistake by putting ffof in with it. thank you all for the replies and guesses and form is comin in a few minutes:thumbsup:

I think you should get them out of the miracle grow and up pot to a bigger pot. Go with straight FFOF. No need for nutes. Also, note that molasses will act as a nute booster so no molasses until they are well stable. I would also get a proper pH pen. Those aquarium test kids are too inaccurate. Let us know!

thanx for gettin back with me bigsby. so u say i oughta repot again? how can i safely repot into ffof without royally screwing the roots by getting the mg off? and what size would you recomend? kinda have limited space. was goin to the hydro store tomorrow to pick up some 3gal pots for some other transplanting that needs done. would 3gal be ok?

[medicine_lady]
