Ok, so I posted about this last week but i put it in the bug section and things wernt as bad before. im not so sure its bugs or not either. this is the only post im using now.

my plants being grown outdoors is beginning to look real sick. its being grown in regular soil with petemoss to help regulate the water in the soil. I'm in So-Cal and it had been around 80-90 degrees for as while but within the last week its been climbing up to 102-105. I usually water it everyday or everyother day. usually giving it a gallon a day. watering it with tap water aged 3 days. was using miricle grow nutrients with added phosphate, because it was having a phosphate problem a while back, but i stopped giving it nutrients about a week ago because its been budding for a month.

at first it was nothing, just ants were showing up at the base of the plant. i didnt think too much of it, so i just set one ant trap near by to keep them at bay. after a while, brown spots started showing up, at first a little, then alot. then the spots got bigger. now for the last week newer leaves have been turning yellow and curling towards the center of the leaf or curling straight up.

ants are gone now but my baby is still hurting, and its got about a month to go for budding.

can anyone help me out with what i might have going on? i have my own ideas but i want to see what you all think.

The red stems and veins can be signs of a Phosphorous problem. The leaf damage looks like a magnesium or calcium issue. Given that you have possibly 3 deficiencies, and you stopped feeding her, I recommend you begin feeding again. You only need to go to water only for the last two weeks on a soil grow. I think you started it a bit early is all. Wait until about 20% of your hairs begin to turn.

This is my opinion. I'm not a professional. Other opinions may vary

ok see i was fearing thats what happened.

ok i think i might start the nuts again for sure. but the brown spots started before i stopped the nutes i think. so i dunno if that will effect those or not. i will watch to see if it does.

You can add foliar feeding with epsom salts to your feeding routine to see if it helps. About 1 tsp per quart of water.

Good Luck to ya sir! :)

Either add 1 tbsp per gallon of potting soil and water in, or foliar feed with 1 tsp of Epsom Salts per qrt of water.

would it be alright to have the epsom salt with the nutrients when i feed her? also, i wonder if maybe i have root rot? i dont know the symtoms of root rot at all and i tried looking it up on here but couldnt find it.
