So, first-time grower... bear with me. I've got this bag seed plant (don't know strain but it was killer bud) that is just about 1.5 weeks into flower. It's grown indoor under about 200w's of cfl, and as you can see I've done a lot of LST to keep it's size minimal.
I originally used Miracle Grow Moisture Control and everything was swell until about week 4 when it started to develop these little brown specs. Eventually the older leafs with the specs turn yellow and I pluck em. Figuring it was getting nute-burn, I repotted it in Ferti-Lome, which I was told has no nutes. When I repotted, I rinsed the root ball and tried to get out all the MG pellets, but it was tough. I didn't want to shock the roots too bad. After repotting, the plant took a couple weeks before it even started growing again. And at that point I had lost most the leaves and it was almost like starting over.
So I didn't give it any nutes for a while and it slowly progressed. But still had these small brown specs. Now the plant is 11 weeks old and decent sized. I switched its light to 12/12 last week and started giving it some African Violet Plus Plant Food- 8-14-9 (I realize this isn't the best product, but it's what I got). I feel like the plant continues to develop the brown specs and I probably pull 1 leaf a day.
I've looked into the plant problem sections and I'm just really unsure. I don't want to experiment and have it go wrong.
Any ideas? How can I save this thing? I love her...
