I use a no fail way of watering, if you don't mind picking your girls up...

On a mature plant, just wait until the main fan leaves all start to droop, then pick her up. Familiarize yourself with how much your plant weighs completely drained of water, that way you'll know when your close to that. Works perfectly for me.. i water about every 4 days.

The moment they start drooping shes usually ready for watering.. if you time that when your light comes on they just seem to love it :bigjoint:

The leaf drooping doesn't hurt your plants, they go from all the way down back to perfect in less than 6 hours.. your trying to catch it right before they start to droop. Just a great way to let the plant tell you when shes thirsty :)

I wouldnt flush again this time, just give normal ph'ed water to the one having problems still.. have you checked her runoff ph?

I picked up some cal/mag, going to give all of them a small dose and see what happens. You know I went to PH a few gallons today and the PH dropped alot from when it came out of the tap 3 days ago (from 7.8+ to around 6.5). I had been doing this since seed. I would fill about 4 - 1 gallon jugs and let them sit out for 3 days before I watered (never knowing what it did to the ph level). Do you guys do this? or do you chemically alter the ph before watering? I think my whole problem was I would use a moisture meter and keep the soil a consistant moisture level and when I would feed them with nutes, It was every other watering so that lead to about 2-3 quarts of nutes per week (mixed in one gallon jug), I think that was too much. Next time I think ill keep it to once a week. Im sure thats what cause my salt build ups. Does that sound right?

i use the full line of foxfarm, grow big, tiger bloom,big bloom, open sesame, and cha ching, along with SUPERthrive, i give all 1 gal of the nutes /ST ONCE A WEEK and give 1 gal SUPERthrive 1/4 tsp/gal. in between so it is 1 gal with nutes then 4 days later 1 gal ST THEN 4 DAYS LATER............... THEY WILL LOVE IT, FALLOW THEIR SECUDLE TO THE TEE

that much superthrive will kill em in time did you read the 1 drop per gallon of water instructions a 1/4 teaspoon is toxic my friend

and to prove it to someone I once gave a clone just 5 drops to a gallon, died in 2 days, be careful superthrive is not a nute and plants don't NEED it

your water should be between 5.5-6.5 ph. cannabis likes a lil acidic media. and as for nutrients, use clearex and flush the media until 80-85% runoff and then ph balance the water and 1/4 strength nutrients and feed following : feed, water, water ,feed,water water feed. and after every other watering increase the nute strength until the plant starts to nute burn , and keep that concentration lower than the highest the plant can handle

hey stonesour
I got the same exact thing going on. Was wondering if you fixed whatever the problem was and how you did it?

The problem was I was feeding too much and altering the ph in the process locking out other nutrients. What I did was flush three times the amount of the pot with PHed room temp water. Then I watched for a few days to see if it worked, It worked on three plants but not one, So I flushed again. Then all the spots stop popping up. I also used cal/mag as a foliar feed and that seemed to really help alot. So flush until spots stop and then use cal/mag as a suppliment on the leaves and also when you water. They will turn around. good luck!!!
