OldManJJ Grows With The Mars Hydro FC 3000

[Renaissance Man]

I agree with Bill 100% for what that's worth, but on your light I can tell you for certain it is not that. You might get that kind of spotting from too much light, but it would never begin like that. You'd see leaf yellowing/paling, taco-ing of leaves, and burnt and curled down tips before you'd see that sort of thing. So at least you can rule out the light.

I would agree, after just dealing with light issues. I would rule that out. It looks like it is on the bottom leaves of the left plant also. I too am curious to see what the issue is. It could be either pests or deficiency in my eyes.

Well, the next step then is to feed them.

I'm sorry I can't remember all your parameters so bare with me please.
Did I see you just added new soil?
Do you know the p content in it ? was it high?
Your nutrients have you been following the schedule?
Using everything they recommend? at recommend levels? When they tell you too?
Ph fairly close to 6.3?
Stay safe.

@Bill284 They were transplanted into Roots organic 707 Soil + Dynomyco on October 31st. So far, they have only gotten 6.3-6.5 PH'd water. Because the soli is a little hot, I waited to feed them.

Aproximately 2 weeks usually the time it takes to show changes in soil if I'm not mistaken.
As I'm not a soil specialist I'll refrain a recommendation other than to wait a minute.
Too much P looks similar also creates other problems.
You tagged Emilya im sure she knows the exact content of that soil and how to rectify the issue.
I'm sure she will be by shortly.
Stay safe.

Hi @oldmanjj ... I wouldn't consider Roots to be a strong soil... its actually a bit on the light side. You definitely should feed and should have before now. It looks like the symptoms are mainly in the upper part of the plant so I would say that this indicates a calcium deficiency. Step up your feeding program to normal rates and keep a bottle of calmag close by... it may be needed later to catch up after you balance the feeding program out.

 

[Renaissance Man]

It appears, to me anyways, that the part of the leaf in question has structural damage to the leaf, if that makes any sense. In which case I would lean towards pests. But if it is a discoloration of the leaf, then that would lead more to deficiency. Am I way off?

Good stuff! I think we were posting at the same time so I didn't see your response before I posted. Either way, love how you are able to call that out right away. Learning leaps and bounds over here.

Update:

Things were going smoothly until I looked in the tent today. I was greeted to spots on quite a few fan leaves. There doesn't seem to be any bugs after an admittedly quick check. Based on the Roots Organics soil being a little hot, I wasn't planning on feeding them for another 10 days. Does this look like a deficiency or bugs or?
Side note, I did crank up the intensity of the Mars Hydro FC3000 to 75% two days ago. Perhaps that's it?

@Emilya thoughts?

Update:

I know it's been a while, life is super busy for me at the moment. The plants are loving life under this light! I also find the humidity much easier to manage with the light and smaller tent. Heat isn't a problem either which is refreshing considering the battles during the summer.

They were transplanted into their final 10 gallon homes and flipped to flower last Friday.

My daughter is taking care of them for me while I am enjoying the beautiful winter weather in South West Florida!

As you can see in the porn below, she is doing an amazing job!

Hopefully I will be on more but the boat, beach and beers are constantly calling my name here

Have fun with those B's! Looks like the garden is in good hands

 

[LKABudMan]

I would choose to be on a boat down in Florida too. Especially if I could keep my plants at home looking that good

 

[Farmer Reading]

The girl look great!!! I have grown some Blueberry Autos with marginal success (I suck at autos).

Hopefully you'll be able to preserver the challenges of Florida in December. Lol.

I'll attempt to tag along from here.

This happened to me when I had direct windflow on my baby when I moved the windflow from being direct to indirect it fixed itself

Nice well done

She's doing an excellent job maintaining your ladies. They look fabulous.
