get yourself some unsulfered black strap molasses. then mix at a ratio of 1 tsp per gallon. it will swell your buds and it will help tackle some micro nute problems if you are having them. it also looks like your plant is low on p. it looks like you may have bug problems though. whats with all of the spots?


how often do you water?

Those tiny spots look like the work of spider mites! They suck the life out of the plant and leave the little brown spots where they were eating. Look under the leaves for the little guys and spray them with neem oil. Do this every 3 days as the ones you kill are being replaced by new ones that hatched. These are the worst problem you could have, most of the time it came from clones bought at a store or plants moved from outside to inside.

mrFootball thanks 4 the help. Yes seriously, whats up with all the spots? molasses, ? ill look int it, I thought that would make my bud taste like the ocean. I really hope is not a bug problem( I don't see any) .
I water every 2 or 3 days, feed it 2 caps of tiger bloom , and 1.5 of big bloom. although it had spots before most of them came out today after I watered yesterday (the soil is still a bit wet)
Here is a picture of spots and bud.

I looked under all the leafs and I don't see any spider mites or any black spots moving.
are you sure? dont just look for black spots. they will be very small and almost appear like a clearish redish color. if you have bad eyes you wont even see them.

that 2nd pic is a much better pic. that looks like a mag def to me. do you water with tap water? tell me what you can about what medium you are using and your feeding schedule and lights.

I did a magnifying lens leaf (on top and underneath) check and didn't spot even one. So it make me think is a nute problem. So I am off to buy the molasses. But still I wonder what specific nute problem it is.

Like I said I watered yesterday and when I checked today it had more spots than before. It would be great to know what is this. its weird but the spots are only growing on top part of the leaf
on the Vein lines.

Any help is greatly appreciated

sorry I didn't see your questions. Your help has been great Mr Football, I water with distilled water every 2 or 3 days, every gallon of water has 1.5 cap of big bud, and 2 caps of Tiger bloom,
they are in a 12/12 cycle, 12 cfl lights for 2 plants, 4 of the lights are 6500 daylight the rest are 2700 soft white. the soil is oceanfarm and I have 1 more month of flowering till harvest.

what should I get for mag def?

Mrfootball I have same problem also 1 month from flower. Medium is sunshine # 4. I use earth juice bloom and catalyst for flowering. I use tap water that is left out over 24 hours to evaporate the chlorine. Its just a few little spots just like his.

its calcium deficiency. feed her with 1tbsp unsulphated molasses per gallon, or cal/mag every 3rd watering. if you feed more then that it will just block out N because cal/mag competes with N for binding spots on the roots.

calcium deficiency early stage

calcium deficiency mid-late stage

at the late stage the leaves will start dieing from the tips inward

I think my catalyst has molasses, should I just give a heavier dose? I use 1 tsp per gallon u say 1 tbs for late flower?

Definately not bugs, all the spots are along the veins, insects usually hit the meaty part of the leafs and it looks much more random. I would say it's a Mag def. I've had the exact same problem using FoxFarm products. They seem to be much more seseptable to nute lock or burning from what I've seen. I would flush with three times the volume of the pots and water with a tsp/gallon of Epsom salt or molasses as Mrfootball420 said.

How often do you feed? Does your soil have ferts in it such as Miracle grow? 2 to 3 days seems a little too often to water, make sure you are picking up the pot when it's wet and dry to actuallty feel it's weight before you water. Also, make sure you're not feeding every time you water...I'm sure you knew that as it's on the bottle.

the distilled water is your problem. there is a high lack of naturally occurring minerals in distilled water. get yourself some cal mag and mix it at 1 tsp per gallon and problem solved. is there a reason you arent using tap water? it has cal and mag and other beneficial minerals built right in. if you wanted you could just water with tap water and youd probably fix your problem. depending on where you live and how good your tap water is.

my guess without pics would be a mag def. get yourself some cal mag and you should be ok. but it could also be a ph problem in your case. do you have a thread on this started somewhere? if not start one and i will give you a hand.

Mr Football and Dj teereks you seem to be right on the money! Thanks to Mr Football, dirtysnowball and dj teereks, this was my first post on the site and I have to say, that the help has been great.

So I could conclude that is Mag Def. and Calcium or Ph burn , caused by overfeeding and lack of specific nutrients. I will follow your guys advice.

its weird I thought people advise the use of distilled water.

p.s I am in L.A (switching to tap)

Thanks again.

you have a micro problem from using distilled water. you didnt notice it till now becuase the soil was providing the minerals. but now the plants have depleted the soil and the minerals need to be replinished. thats my first thought.

my second thought is it could be a ph problem if you have feed a lot. the soil could have built up to much salt and is now highly acidic. in this case you want to flush and flush and flush with ph balanced water.
