Or u sure that those sugar leaves aren't to close to the light ..that sounds like light bleaching your on about.....if your using hps..I'd say it's bleaching .....don't cut off any leafs now when u have only 2 weeks left.....another week and you will be flushing or giving plain water if your growing organic...just my thought

Don't cut your plant up. It wouldn't hurt to feed with some Calmag (if you haven't already) to correct the Mg def. Either that or some Epsom salt.

its not mold.... your leaves are giving their nitrogen to the other parts of the plant that need it... Not a big deal, it happens all the time.... The bronzing/ rust colored spots are sure signs of magnesium deficiency... give 'em a light feeding with some cal/mag nutrients. they'll be fine for another week or two

Ok guys I was worried because it looked similar to what I had on a leaf on a plant with bud rot.it's bronze trichomes if you look closely so maybe just where the leaf is dying the thc is degrading.will keep a eye on her daily now any sign of it affecting bud she be having the chop
