As you can see from the pictures, I have a slight yellowing and brown spots on most of my leaves. I did as much reasearch as I could and all I could come up with was maybe nute burn? I flushed with 1.5 gallons of plain water yesterday just in case that was the problem. Lighting isnt burning, I am using 9 26w cfls (6-3 mix of 2700-6500) and make sure the cfls are at least 2-3 inches from the plant.

Like said in the title, the little fella is 2 weeks into flowering today (and still no sign of sex...irritating haha). I didn't start nuting the bugger until 3 weeks ago when transition started (started with 1/2 botanicare nute recomendation for first week and a half, and now at full dosage). I use the botanicare pro bloom (1-4-5) and botanicare sweet. I made the mistake of using MG "6 month extended time release fert.".

The problem was only on a couple leaves for a while, but around 3 days ago most of the plant started yellowing/brown spotting and I am getting concerned seeing how I am about to find out if its a boy/girl.

The first picture is a pic of the new set of leaves, making me more uncomfortable.

When I watered this morning with just plain water, the runoff had a brown-yellow tint to it. Is this bad or does it not mean anything serious?




Hey, took some pics of the leaves I just cut off, hopefully someone can figure this quiz out! (I cut off all the leaves that were cripsy/completely all hope lost for. The plant still looks strong, and more attractive now that the bad leaves are out lol).

The last pic are the new growth leaves, a little different case than the rest. Just brown rust spots and not much yellow at all.

Some leaves heave much different spots though. Some have these dark purple spots that feel really soft/way different from the rest of the leaves.

Also, I just cut the part of the leaf off that seemed to be infected. If thats not right please let me know so i can take the entire leaf off from the stem.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
(if this post looks familiar, its because I just moved it from newbie to plant problems).

Thanks,
-Oldtimer​

That's a tough one. Three facts are pointing more toward a deficiency than nute burn- that there seem to be healthier leaves under the worst leaves, that the damage is worst along the edges of the leaves rather than worst at the leaf tips and that the plant isn't showing sex yet. The last two reasons pointing to K def. You might try finding an alternative source of Potassium.
