i moved it an inch away, and yeah i already did induce flowering, haha, this is the third day though, but those are under where the leaves are growing out of, do you really think they are nodes?
Those are 100 percent nodes...these are pistils

If thats a lowryder hybrid then you dont start the flowering by going 12/12. They autoflower, you want to give them as much light as possible.

I could be wrong tho :shock:

yeah its a cross, my buddy made it and he said it doesnt autoflower very well, but it grows small and is super dense... and crossing it with afghan will be a couch gluer

oh and what exactly do nodes do?


and how do i fix my prob...? ppl told me what it was... how do i fix it? how do i get my color back in my leaves? how do i keep it alive? i moved the lamp back, but that was the only advice i got

honestly, based on what ya said, I gave ya the best advice I can. If the light bein moved doesnt help, then look @ the other possible factors that were listed

One thing that I did not see asked, but may have missed, is what reflective material are you using and do you move your plants around so different ones are in different positions to get better lighting at times?

I tend to want to say there is some form of burning going on but at least some of it could be cause by light bleaching do to uneven reflection. Using CFL’s would not normally give you temperatures of hot spots hot enough to actually burn but they can still bleach, or at least that is what I have read and not something I have experienced since I do not and will not use CFL’s.

I could not see it in the pictures so it may not be there but then it could be a lack of resolution or due to lighting when/where the pictures were taken but in the portions of the leaves that have turned white or fairly white do you still seen tiny green veins? If so you may have a magnesium deficiency. Normally that will show up on the lower portions of a plant first but it can show up at or near the top first at times.

As for the brown spots I do not believe that to be a mite problem. It can be any number of things but one of them can be a Zinc deficiency. That will cause plants to have spotting and bleached spots (chlorosis) between the veins first appears on the older leaves first, and then goes on to the immature leaves. That could explain both your spotting and your bleaching.

It will then start to slowly affect tips of growing points of the plants. When the zinc deficiency happens so suddenly, the spotting can appear to be the same symptoms to that of an iron and manganese, without the seeing the little leaf symptom.

Zinc is not mobile in plants so the symptoms will occur mainly in the newer growths. Having a plant that has a deficiency in Zinc can cause small crops, short shoots and have a cluster of small distorted leaves near the tips. Between the veins (Interveinal) yellowing is often combined with overall paleness. Pale or grayish, yellowing between the veins; rosetted weak is the signs of a Zinc deficiency.

With a low level of zinc in your plants, your yields will be dramatically reduced. Interveinal chlorosis is present in the small, narrow distorted leaves at the ends of really shortened shoots and the shortening between internodes. Leaf margins are often distorted or wrinkled. These nutrients will get locked out due to high pH: Zinc, Iron, and Manganese. These deficiencies will often occur together. Parts affected by a zinc deficiency are young leaves and petioles.

Having an excess of Zinc is very rare, but when it does happen it can cause wilting and in worse cases death. Since it is rare I doubt that to be your problem but the combination of both spotting and bleaching does make it possible.


If you have an ozone generator that can cause leaf spotting and that is often times confused with a Mg deficiency but by moving things around or turning off the ozone generator or repositioning it farther from the plants will clear things up.

wow thanks for putting so much time into that post. how do you check the pH of soil without special equipment?

You will need a pH meter but I do not like actual soil testers where you just jam something into the soil and get a reading. I do not trust their accuracy.

Instead I like to take soil and put it in a cup with pH neutral water and let it soak for a day and then stick in the pH meter and see what the reading is.

That is how we do it at our nursery and it has always worked great so I see no reason to fix something that is not broken.

Easy question and it could be the solution to the problem. Do you let the water sit out for a couple of days after you take it out of the faucet? If not then its most likely chlorine burn, as I said yesterday my plant did the same thing when I gave her water out of the tap

how tall is the plant btw? you said 4 weeks old right? Something is up there dude, prob the light. You might wanna try and get some more or just scrap a dodgy hyrbid and order some different seeds which are reliable.

no i never let the tap water sit. you think i should? really? and im just starting a mazar-i-sharif, it broke the ground this morning, and im trying to figure out a good, cost effective way to grow the plants perfectly. any ideas? i dont think im going to get a very good yield from my other plant, but im still really trying to keep it alive. the plant is a little more than 5 inches tall; (to dpjones)

THATS YOUR PROBLEM LET THE WATER SIT CHLORINE BURN....let the water sit for a few days then water the plant, make sure not to overwater her too and I am making a new post on my grow room its cheap and very effective. Heres the link https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/164731-cheap-cfl-growroom-setup.html#post2125561

alright, i'll, from now on, let my water sit over night... but like, do you think it will make a come back?
Ya as long as the new leaves are not burnt then you should be fine, any updated pics....can I see the whole plant? Wait atleast 48 hours for the chlorine to exit the water and depending on your pot you should only water every 3-10 days.

hey now come one guys.. there are plenty better things to do than argue..like help me figure out how the fuck to type a post so people can maybe help me out! i have some yellow starting to occur around the edges of some leaves.. they are only 20 days old and look very nice so i would like to figure out how to use this site so i can uplad pics and get some realy expert help by someones like urselves thanks alot and i hope someone acctually gets this reply and replys to me that would be awesome. cuz its my first grow and all...
