This problem has been appearing the past 1-2 weeks. It stated off little tiny grey pecks up and down the smallest, oldest leaves then the same leaves started turning yellow moving up some of the plants giving 1 a very yellow tinge.

I have been watering once a week with tapwater which has been left to let clorine evaporate for 1-3 days.

I have also only fed them once (1 mill per litre) using flowering nutes which was last 7 days ago and watered them yesterday.

Growing in soil under a 600w hps anyone have any suggestions as to why the leaves are now going yellow with tiny specks of grey on 1 or 2 lower leaves?:wall:


I have 5 of these on the go with others and they all turned out female! Also they all started flowering 3 days ago!:-P

This is only one plant i have on for now! shes allmost DSCF3470.jpgDSCF3466.jpgDSCF3463.jpgDSCF3468.JPGDSCF3469.jpg18 inches:clap:

Those are the one finger starter leaves, they are supposed to yellow and fall off. At least that is what I am seeing in most of your pictures.

It is just hungry, rust spot looking things are calcium def. I would give it a small dose of grow nutes next time your water, along with some flower nutes, as she is in transition. You might want to get a cal/mag product to water with. If she is this hungry now, you are going to loose alot of your fans. Might as well hit her now while she is still not fully flowering.

If you soil sits wet too long that can also show signs of def since your root mass is dying.

O right thanks for the info Bighill but what do you mean a small dose of grow nutes? do you mean veg nutes?

Ok well lets back up the bus a bit.

What is in the soil? Is it out of the bag compost? Or is it a home made batch? Did you add any amendments to it? (ie manuer/rock phosphate/lime)

I made my commment about the soil beeing wet too long because i don't see much in the way of perlite in the soil.

What i ment by veg nute is a nutrient that is high in N the first number in your nutrient reading 10-10-10 as an ex. A flower nute will be lacking in N but high is P and K the second and third numbers in the read-out. for example Cann Vega and Cann flora. You must have some kind of grow shop around? I use pure blend cal/mag as an addative for calcium and mag.

Don't know where you are in the world, but products that have a OMRI rating are very good to use as they are true organics.

I had these a couple years ago and mine did the same thing. mine were grown hydro. it seems they did not like nutes at all. mine never really did recover from nute burn and as a result the yeild was small but it was very potent stuff. I recomend some sort of carbon filter or something to hide the smell if this is a concern to you. go very very light on the nutes. in about 2-3 weeks you will see what i mean about the smell of those things.

Im using soil i bought out of a flower shop which is the best quality i have seen yet and it cost more then regular soil.
I mixed the soil using just under 1 litre of perlite for every 5 litres of soil, allthough i filled in the top inch or 2 of the pot again with just soil after a few waterings which explains you not seeing the perlite.

Thanks man i will use a bit of veg nutes mixed with flowers nutes in my next feeding (next week) since i just watered them yesterday. I will also buy that cal/mag as you suggested asap!
Thats interesting about the OMRI is it a quality standard issue? should i ask the guy in the grow shop has he got products with this label.

What way did they not recover did the whole plant turn yellow?
Im currently using an ona pro block but i have 4 other plants under 12/12 flowering with these ones and the smell still seeps up through my basement floors into my livingroom i can smell it sitting on my sofa if the grow room door is closed over for a number of hours then the ona block is useless! What mil to litre did you use in the nutes after u burnt it ?

Could be a nitrogen deficiency, so yeah, a light feeding of gro nutes could help. Is it just those tiny lower leaves? If the rest of the leaves are lush and green I wouldn't worry about it.

Yup pretty much, long story short they test all the nutes lines they can find and test for chemicals that aren't organic. Nutes that are TRUE organic matter get the OMRI ratting. Next time your at the shop, nose around.
Alaskan fish fertalizer is a good example of an OMRI rated product.
