might be nutrient burn, but what do i know? how much are you feeding them and how often? is it on all the leaves or just a few? if its only a few leaves i wouldnt worry too much about it, unless it starts to do that on lots of leaves.

flush your system well and and slightly decrease your nut levels. if your new growth is fine then its all good!

oh thats right, if its your 3rd week of flower, and they are not getting nitrogen then you will see this type of thing. not neccisarily a bad thing, personally i have a nute mix that gives them a bit of nitrogen

its nothing major like john said. if uv just watered them then it will be cool, though your ph could be high and stop the plant getting the nut's it needs

That 10-40-9 ratio is pretty strong man. Im guessing its chemical. I use fox farms tiger bloom 2-8-4 and even at 1/2 strength I will get nute burn. I did try and use the cha ching 9-50-10 from fox farms at 1/4 strength and it burnt my plants overnite just like yours. Some plants are just super sensitive and dont like alot of chemical. If I was you I would flush and just feed every other water. Also are you growing in soil..if so does it have fertilizer added also?

This is wrong, they might fade without N in flower, but lack of N does not cause necrotic splotches on leaves.
Flush well with properly Ph'd distilled water, make sure you're Ph'ing your input water properly, and don't feed the nutes too strong.
And yes, a fan blowing directly on your plants can cause leaves to get 'windburn' like that. But usually the entire leaf curls under and dries up in a very ugly manner, not like yours which is basically fine except for the spots.

Just read your other thread that's locked now...I hope you have mad holes drilled in those 5 gallon buckets, cause if not THAT's your problem.

Another thing that may help you..I dont know if you have a ph meter or not? If you dont you need to get one. For example....Im using tap water and ph of my water 6.9-7.0 thats great for tap water but when I add my bloom fertilizer my ph drops to 6.1. When I used my bloom fertilizer and added that cha ching it dropped to like 5.9. Since your using soil thats gonna be way too low a ph for you.....A 7.0 ph is neutral, a 6.9 ph is 10x more acidic than 7.0.......6.8 is 10x more acidic than 6.9........6.7 is 10x more acidic than 6.8 etc etc. But that might not be a problem for you, just thought i'd throw that out there

Thanx again. Just checked PH and either my probe is screwed or I've got some serious hot spots. Cause 1 place reads6.8. Another reads 5.5. Any ideas or you think flushing will take care of it. And once again Thanx

if it is one of those soil ph meters with 2 prongs that you stick in the dirt,,,,,they are crap and will never give you good or real info
as to the other poster that said a low ph is bad for soil,,,,it's not
the PH of rain is 5.6 and soil buffers it, I always adjust my water to 5.8 and I'm in soil
