So i just noticed this morning that the top two fan leaves started getting brown rust colored spots on the stem between the main cola stem and the leaf. It is happening nowhere but but those two place yet. I read this might me nitrogen deficiency? if not can anyone help me diagnose this and tell me what it is? i can't post a pic of the problem because it's is not transparent enough and i don't have a really good camera but here is a pic circling where the problem is:


Humidity: 40%
Temp: 72 degree's
Heating: cfl 150 watts ( 100 top light and 50 coming off the side)
Nutrients: neut burned her about 1.5 weeks ago so i flushed her and have been using just water ever since.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Your fine, keep an eye on your leaves, check your soil and water Ph and coast, you should of seen the look on my face when I saw some of my stems turning red and purple. After looking into it turns out it was all just part of the phenos that show with third dimension strain. I since then noticed that only the fan leaf stems change colors and no other stems.

i just added a splitter and put another 100 watt cfl so now i have 2 100watt cfl's going a 50 watt plant grow light coming from the backside as well (also gives heat). i was planning on vegging on 24/7 light for 4 more weeks then putting her outside to flower since in the 2nd week of March it will be 12 hours of sunlight. Any tips on that or anyone have any comments on what my plan is?

I never understood people running their lights 24/0 for veg. I was always taught that after about 18 hours of light a plant can't take in much more light so running them longer than that is pointless. Has anyone actually compared running 18/6 vs 24/0 for veg back to back with the same clones? I would expect the results would be quite similar.

There`s a few threads on here with comparative results of different times used for veg.
