Waxy spots on leaves??

[Username85]

So I actually have a few questions within this thread:
I’ve been noticing a few waxy looking spots on some leaves here and there for the plant on the right only, any idea what this could be from?
I’ve tried to look around on waxy leaves and I’ve seen answers from cold root balls to genetics-plant on the right was dealing with a higher leaf temp that I wasn’t aware of, and is also placed right next to my humidifier. Could these be the reason?
The same plant with waxy spots has a leaf or two with slightest start of discoloration to the tip of the leaf, nute burn?
I realized I was feeding nutes too often so the last feeding she got was 4/23 and was a gallon of ph’d water (phd through drop test, not digital reader)-same was done for the plant on the left, which hasn’t shown me any of those issues.
I topped these plants on 4/20, are they healthy enough for a pruning?
And finally, I germinated these 3/18, would they be ready for a 12/12 switch in the next 2 weeks?

Are my discolored leaf tips possibly the first sign I’m dealing with magnesium deficiency??

That is nutrient burn ! That pattern up the leaves is the first sign !! That bubbly spotty type appearance will be burns too if you keep feeding ! First thing I really found out was when it comes to feeding the babies I find less is more ! If been feeding a complete food deficiency is rare and is usually an over feed or with coco or hydroponics is burn or ph .

that is soil ? Coco ? If soil which is what it looks like to me then stop worrying about ph ! I do not test ph in soil it is unnecessary if using good quality mix and nutrients ! Soil is a beautiful buffer ! The best for a growing medium ph wise

Yeah it’s growing in soil. My last grow I used coco so I was feeding nutes every day-this time in soil I wasn’t watering anywhere near daily, but fed nutes each time-I used a fraction of what the directions called for, which may have helped me some here.
I was planning another gallon water flush before feeding any more nutes-they are in 3 gal pots. Is a gallon of water for each enough to flush?

Yes about the switch ! Take some advice, don't stress it's a beautiful and bountiful hobby ! Feed lightly and not every watering in soil is good simple advice ! Learn the weight of a full pot or an empty pot that needs water ! So simple ! Keep it simple, less is more when it comes to nutrients ! Worst mistake of any grower of cannabis is over feed or over water and it's the top noob mistake ! We always want the best for them and try the best nutrients and wonder what the problem is not realising it's too much love, too much wanting to help when she just needs keeping comfortable with temperature, a bit of food and a bit of water with lots of light !

Are you using mineral nutrients or organic my fellow grower ? Let !e know before I tell you about flushing !

 

[Original StinkyG]

I meant you be good with the switch ! I just realised I was not clear, if I'm not clear enough just say ok !?!?

This is what I’ve given them so far. One feeding was .5tsp Cal-Mag with 1.5tsp Grow Big per gallon (fed maybe half gallon per plant)
Next feeding was .5tsp cal-Mag with 1.5 tbsp Big Bloom per gallon.
Fed that cycle just once before I realized plants weren’t happy and did my first flush

I’ve only put about 2 semi-successful grows under my belt before these and those I overfed/watered badly. Leaf tips were turned down and plant just didn’t look happy. Although I’m apparently still not all the way there with holding off, this is a huge improvement lol.
Do you think they are healthy enough for a pruning before the switch?

 

[Original StinkyG]

I'm have no experience with your nutrients but stop with the cal mag for a start ! Not needed ! In coco you may need more but in soil not usually necessary. Get a baby medicine syringe from chemist/pharmacist when you get chance for accuracy as spoons are all over the place in my opinion even !measuring spoons I found ! Baby medicine syringe usually comes with a non spill gadget so you can turn your bottles upside down. My last one was 60p which is less than a dollar ! Anyway if your nutrients are organic don't flush just stop feeding nutrients ! they look organicish to me but check ! If mineral feed then my rule is 3x the soil volume so in 3 gallon it would be 9 gallon ! It's a last resort in my arsenal !!! I reckon it's the cal mag as it's mineral !! Organic nutrients are hard t over feed in my humble opinion !

 

[Original StinkyG]

Don't flush in my opinion but always make your own choice ! Stop feeding though for sure ! Just water not ph 'd or anything just norma l tap should do !!

It's over feeding, nothing scary, just carry on, by pruning you mean ? Topping or literally just removing leaves and branches ? Listen every grow learn something, don't do too much to your plants as your experience needs to improve. See how they react with just one bend lst or topping just once and see how you do before going mad as you never knew how it went before ! You will get good if you take notes of what you did, what's worked, what hasn't etc everyone has their ways once they really get the hang of it. Growing weed is easy, easy as growing a weed. Getting the most out of a plant takes skill and experience even with that particular plant, not strain, not type but particular plant, cutting of a cutting etc growing good quality and good yields are in anyone's reach ! Perfection is never easy, I don't think it's attainable that's the beauty, it trying to get there !!!

Yeah I was curious about removing a few larger fan leaves to let more light to the lower canopy. I topped them both once about 12 days ago. They did well with that-I didn’t want to introduce LST in combination with the topping as I’ve read it can be a bit too much stress on a plant for a noob grower like myself. I’ve been keeping a log so I can use for future reference, which is a big help.
It’s just been a battle to maintain proper VPD throughout veg. Was hoping they’re ready for the switch because my grow area temp/humidity is absolutely perfect for flower haha

plants look fine and dandy. No biggy they gonna do you proud ! I've got a few plants that look a touch bigger but could be wrong and I put them in bloom 10 days ago ! Don't flip until about a foot minimum when topped like yours and mine as yield will reduce massively if sooner. When you flip they will use the excess nitrogen and that in your plants so really do not worry !

 

[Original StinkyG]

Just topping is fine it does enough ! You won't need anymore than that in my humble opinion and topping and lst are too much in many situations. Try lst next time, do one of each or whatever and see what you think ! I find it dependent on plant, strain sometimes. I have found more that like topping to training but maybe that's just me ? Just once though if growing short veg period in soil like you and I !!

Vpd ? Sorry can't place that ! Tell me what it is !

Thanks for that, decent company so imagine the table/chart is good .

It stands for vapor pressure deficit-there’s a range you want your plants to be at during different stages of growth. It deals with how well your plant/leaves are able to absorb moisture in the air and how well they sweat it out. Healthy VPD equals healthy plants-VPD is determined by your RH, air temp, & leaf temp. Vpdchart.com is a fantastic tool to figuring it out
