your plants could do with some extra N.
give them a pint of urine or tom food.what are both rich in N.

:leaf::leaf: And yes crazy mental i think your right about the N. The fox farm schedule says i need to use the veg nute for the next two weeks. Probably because the Tiger Bloom doesnt have much N at all. So im gunna go mix up a batch of nutes with those and make sure the pH is right. :leaf::leaf:

Dr. Chron, thnx for the rep, your plants are looking pretty good, the only thing I would do is when you start seeing preflowers in 12/12, I would recommend cutting a few of the leaves off that are around the size of your hand or bigger!!! If there are 10 leaves, cut 4-6 of them off so that the light can get past them!!! and i dont know if it was answered but I have seen plants grow anywhere from 2-8 inches after they were put on 12/12, so just make sure you watch the lights cuz you will wake up sometimes and have to move your light becuz they grow alot more in the dark!! nighttime Looking pretty good for first time, Its not very hard is it!!

:leaf::leaf: Thanks but there are a TON of spots all over my fan leaves. I think it is part N deficiency and a slight pH imbalance. I checked the pH and it was a little low so i adjusted it and i mixed in smoe Grow Big Veg Nutes (6-4-4) to eliminate any possibility of a N deficiency. These damn brown/yellowish spots are really starting to scare me but i have faith that she will pull through. :leaf::leaf:

Dr. Chronic, please quick, if you are not supplementing your plants with Mg DO IT NOW. Most ferts completely ignore this essential nutrient and it seems to be really important when the plants transition from veg to flower. It happened to me anyway, brown necrotic spots and wilting of the lower leaves. Also happened to my old roomate, and he was a PRO. I think it happened to FarmingToronto too but I never followed up to see if the Mg actually solved the problem. I use a teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) at every water. Add this to your regular feeding schedule and see if it helps, cant hurt after all.

yea use Epsom salt but try not to use to much because then you can cause nute locking salts in your soil , I was readoing on the Epsom salt that I bought from my locat grow store that when used it can increase resin production:leaf::weed:

:leaf::leaf: Thanks I considered that but i don't need any extra. The Grow Big and Tiger Bloom both have Magnesium Nitrate and Magnesium Sulfate. :leaf::leaf:

LOOKIN NICE DR! I Just added some pics today. Do my buds look okay for week 4?
:leaf::leaf:Yeah they are looking pretty sweet. My fan leaves are doing pretty bad. Its crazy it only took a couple of hours for the plant to be covered with spots. I think i got the problem taken care of, i won't know until tomorow. I got a few more things im gunna try if things don't get better but ill probably be nursing her back to health for the next couple of days. Im just glad the buds still look fine. :leaf::leaf:
