Well I know I have started a lot of threads lately but I am not getting the answers I am looking for. I just got a better camera so hopefully these pics will do justice.

11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check? Fall.
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? Nothing.

I dont see any burn marks...


If you are interested The Marijuana Garden Saver is a great book explaining ph, nutrient problems, bug problems, and mold problems. Its less than 20 dollars. Was written by a former female grower of overgrow.com Covers every deficiency there is. As it says, can save a garden .lol

Then what are all those spots on the leaves?

man you must have the worst luck with cameras

as I have said, if you have never grown, buy some canna soil and try that guy in the soil. hydro is not for beginners as hydro goes fast. if you want to learn hydro continue on, I'm also baised against hydro..

so looks like calcium or spotting can occur from PH being off before a lockout.

potassium can be spotting, and your middle leaf looks like its starting..

P can also cause spotting but most are burns..

EDIT: the more I look at it the more it looks like P def. hard to see though and the plant is so small

they look good
might lower the pH a hair
Pure Blend Pro is an organic...you probably aren't burning anything
it's got calcium and so does your hard water
use r/o to top up or you keep adding calcium to you res
the calcium acts as a buffering agent and raises the pH closer to 7

I really wouldn't do anything ...cept maybe bring the lights in closer
I keep an 8" gap to a 100W flouro....you could cut down to 4"

Most nutrient burn results in burnt tips or overly dark leaves. Some other burn signs, but those are the most common two. You have to really go overboard to burn more than the tips.

^ this is not nute burn

What my deffinition ? Or his pictures? Because I was trying to tell him his plants arent burnt. lol

Thanks. lol not to nit pick but it's K and not P. But I just don't get how I would have a deficiency because my PH is in check. Or so I think.....

toshiba

^ no its:

N nitrogen P phosphrous K potassium ...

not all bottled nutes will take care of every plants needs, all plants are different and might want different things. I had two mental floss and one had bad mag problems, and the other was perfectly fine....

EDIT: maybe Im not understanding you, you mean I said P instead of K ? or you mean K causes spots?
