does anyone know what this could be??

hey dutch i know you didnt mean anything by it but we just know that with the results of our last grow that the lights arent causing the problems we're seeing. gave them a flush last night with 2.5 gal of 7.0 water. the soil after we flushed was 6.5-6.8. so we'll see what happens eh?

Maybe this can help ? http://www./overgrow-thebook/PlantTrouble/Merged.htm

hey waterdog thanx for the reply and link but it did not take me anywhere that had to do with plant trouble. gave me some bible suggestions

I'll bet that happened right after they went into flower.
It's pretty common, when I transition from 16:8 to 12:12 my fan leaves do that.
It's a major shock and flowering needs are different, nutewise as well.
When I transition from LEDs to sunlight too abruptly my fans look like that, and worse.
The plant will take what it needs from the fans/storehouses, to keep the new growth happy.

What's important here is the new growth.
That looks pretty good from here. (mo'betta pics would be nice.)
Jus' leave the fans alone, the plant will drain,and then drop them when she's used them up.

Watch the new growth closely, and get back to us if that gets hinky.

In short?
No worry.

Aloha,
Weeze

You are definitely experiencing nutrient burn/ too much N. Flush using about 5 or 6 gallons of water per 3gal pot. After the soil dries begin feeding with a much weaker bloom solution. Remember, too much nitrogen can really inhibit flowering, as soon as you see any leaf tips curling downward, combined with really dark green leaves you can be sure its too much N.
Using floros makes it really easy to over feed because they dont provide much light energy to the plant. there is also some other nutrient issues, but nothing a flush wont solve.

Its your grow so do what you want, but it would be a huge improvement to upgrade to an HID lighting system.

I believe that is calcium and magnesium deficiency. I am not 100% sure but from my experience it looks very similar.

Magnesium deficiency. If your brown spotting starts off as golden yellow spots that are small and numerous, then it's mg def. This can be solved with some epsom salts if you want to fix on the cheap. One half teaspoon of salts in a gallon of water and give that next time you water. The fix takes a couple of days to disappear. For alot of growers I usally recommed that instead of miracle grow that people try a fert called Dynagro as it has pretty much everything plants need, including calcium and mg. It just doesn't have a very long shelf life, maybe six months. For now I'd probably try the epsom salts and see what happens. I wouldn't necessarily try to switch soils or even transplant if you don't have space, but if I were you I'd plan on taking some clones of good branches and start them in small cups of soil. Cloning is an art in itself and everyone should know how. For the future I'd probably use Foxfarm fert and throw in one half cup of their Fruit and Flower powder fert that the grow stores sell. Mix one half cup or so for every 2-3 gallons of soil and you probably won't have any more problems. Some people say these ferts don't work, but if that's the case why does the company make them? Mix the fert into the soil and just water when dry. Easy. Oh you might switch to 5 gallon buckets in the future.

yeah i thought n tox as well. we already flushed about 3 or 4 days after the first post. seems to be doing better and now almost looks like some kind of def. not sure what though. have to put up more pics this weekend.
