perfect, I'll do that. Thank you Lime, as always.mix one liter water(since soil is still moist) will not need 3... with Cal/Mag (epsom salt) and give her just that ....then next watering you can feed as normal

that MG nutrient is not the greatest for flowering.ok for veg but lacking minor nutes for flowering..... plus it has no Ca in it so you have to add a bit when you feed. i would add it every feed... mixed with your nutrients...so basically 6ml Ca / 3 liters water / 2 caps nutes( 3 cap fulls is a bit too high)

just the all purpose nutrient...he needs to get the flowering/bloom nutrients...but idk if he can get it before she finishes?

You think maybe them black dots could be a pest problem?

no, I don't...I have gnats, indeed, but they are not capable in doing that type of damage. The dots are not holes, are not on the veins (just on the leaves). More likely it's from a combination of Ca, Mg deficit and some N toxicity. Now I am just waiting and hoping.

Day 86 with 37 into flowering. Plant is the same as yesterday. No new issues. I really hope to pull it through with it. Next week my magnifying glass will arrive and I'll be able to check the status. Theoretically I should keep it into flowering for 5-7 weeks, depending on the strain. From my research I reached the conclusion that I am dealing with a sativa dominant. She is tall, the leaves are big, not pointy like in indica. So...the flowering period for a sativa is a bit longer then the indica. Hopefully it will be in the 7 weeks range. The hairs are turning brown now. Pics as usual I'll post next Monday. Other than that, the soil is still moist so no rush in watering.
I've been thinking...first, I wasn't able to find any research into this. Everybody knows gnats. When your plant is little, they can be a danger due to their children, the fucking worms that are feeding on the young roots and this can lead to death. This has not happen in my case. But still, I am thinking...all this problems with my leaves that I have...basically the worms, if they are eating the roots, they can act as a nutrient deficit?! For example...when you have a Ca deficit, what will happen? The roots will not absorb the nutrients and the leaves will start to get yellow death spots. If Mg is not absorbed, then black spots will appear and even if you'll give Mg salts, they will not get absorbed because you have Ca deficit as well and your roots are blocked. So...what if the gnats are acting like that? Was it researched? can they do that? stopping the roots in getting the nutrients (some of them, in my case the Mg) it's just a thought. Anyways...now...to do something about the gnats...I don't know what or if it's not to late. I don't have access to sand, and on the only gardening shop in this city, they don;t have any gnat killing juice. The only way is to order from the internet with about 35 euros and it will get to me maybe next tuesday. So...basically I need to survive with my plant for another...2 weeks now? I am day 37 into flowering, so that's 5 weeks and 2 days. So if I am aiming for the 7 weeks, that's another 2 weeks

i think it looks like spider mites. they leave small white dots on your leaves just like you have. but you say you checked 3x so im surre you would have seen one of them little critters if you had them. hope you get it worked out. either way i dont think you have much to worry about. you should make it to harvest no problem!!

it's an optical illusion. it's due to the light and that's why they look like white dots but in reality they were kind of black small spots like acid drops and now after a while they are turning into rust spots. And more of 75% of the leaves are affected. If spider mites would have been involved, I would have seen them. It's 75% of the plant, they should have been everywhere. And again, the spots are not holes. Anyway, let's hope it will not get worst now that I've flushed and I have the Ca juice.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I believe you that its not spider mites, you seem witty enough to be able to locate them if there were any. mites do not put holes in your leaves though, they suck the juices out of the leaf turning them white atfirst then necrotic afterwards (rust colored) because it kills that part of the leaf. they do not actually eat the plant matter just the juices they kinda like a mesquito only with plants abnd they can be extremely tiny as well
