When writing a reply there are several icons in the header...4th in from right is a little itty bitty pic of a tree, mouse over it, it should ask you to insert image...click and insert...
 
haha thanks man i figured it out and tryed to delete my post so i dont look super silly ;)...i cannot however figure out how to insert them. when i click insert files it doesnt do anything and when i go to basic uploader i can only do 1 at a time which still does not seem to work :S.

I figured it out : ). There are 4 different strains in there (critical mass closest left and happy) (white widow back right corner and its super bushy) Blueberry (front right corner) i believe the 2 light green ones are critical mass and ak 47. not sure if that helps but thought i should mention.
I look forward to hearing what you guys think!
Thanks

i thinks that everything looks ok to me things are doing just fine id keep an eye on it for a little while but all in all good crop bud the spider mites i cant tell form pictures like EGrower explained

what nutes are you using and have you switched to flower yet? and if so that can be the reason for the lighter coloring leaves

Do you have insects of any kind? Some maggots are undetectable at first, but can unfortunately while maturing sap your plant of nutrients. They will show up later. Otherwise it sounds like what the others have said, some kind of nutrient deficiency maybe?

 
Thanks for the replies guys!
Im 95% sure there are mites in some areas it looks like the example pic egrower posted.
I'm still in veg mode and I am currently using ph perfect and rhinoskin for nutrients
It could very well be a nutrient deficiency as I just started using them. It's just strange how only 2 plants seem to be discolored (maybe it's the strain?).
I also have a lot of purple stems if that helps any.
My temperature seems to be between 64-70 degrees.
thanks again ;)

use some forbid 4f on those since they are in veg. Then use it again in a week. That will kill your mites. Also, get a good 20-20-20 fertilizer with micro nutes (Like peters). It will help your ph and other nute issues I see. Keep it simple.
 
Well I already have a.n ph perfect sensi grow and rhinoskin are these not suitable?
i also have go green spider mite knockout for the pests :) (I'm yet to use it)

thanks for for the reply :)

I had spider mites on my ladies. My fan leaves had tiny white dots all over. I mist them with water then looked at them in the light just to be sure it was sm. The water will hang on the webs and make it easier to see.

Haha you look so uber silly right now.
 
Thanks ajack good idea! Mine aren't that bad yet luckily :).
i coated them in the spider mite knockout but did it in the garage and the -20 seems to have almost killed them... I guess I will see if they bounce back by morning. Tryed to keep the stuff away from my animals and may have killed the girls doing so lol.

haha I know KJ thanks I was going to delete that comment I made but oh well lol...complete amateur as the title states :p.
any helpful advice KJ? Do you use 20/20/20?
