Hello! :-?
please could anybody tell me wether this is mold or lack of nutrients? Just got some playgron bloom and gave her some feeding just incase.
These yellow marks have been there for around a one or two weeks now, im worried that if i think it isnt mold and leave it, it could kill my other plant!
I dont think its where ive burnt it because ive made this mistake before on the same plant and moved the light to a safe distance.
Its only affecting the fan leaves and smaller leaves, the buds are seem to be fine. Ill upload some pics fot yall, not the best pics but still, you can kinda see.
thanks for reading.

Oh and thanks ''lonleysmoka'', she is a beauty! I wish i knew! So then i could be like yo man, got sum ......... for you to try!
but i cant!! lol

Im not a pro in this subject but im inclined to think that this is some sort of nute problem. Its deff does not look like mold. I had a similiar problem when i switched to flowering because of lack of a vital nutriest. My flowering nutes didnt have the same stuff as vegging nutes. What nutes do you use, do u follow the chart, dirt or hydro?, and is this one the bottom leaves or upper leaves

Hello greenearth, thanks for taking the time to read my post and thanks for your help.
All the way through vegging i used rain water and......dont laugh!......miracle grow! lol :roll:
This is my first grow and stuff like nutes are hard to get hold of, i only no 1 grow shop in my area and ive only just found it! its where i got my playgron bloom mix from today. So it was just miracle grow and rain water, everything was good until she went into flowering, there are two plants im my grow room (2 diff strains) and its only affected one of them??? Im using soil and no chart, there wasnt one with my playgron mix but it does say something on the bottle about charts tho.
oh and if it helps, the stems are getting red stripes on them, ive only fed them with the nutes today so i wont be able to see any results yet. The leaves are like this all over, not all of them tho, about 30% of them, im just worried as i dont want to lose my other girl, or either of them at that.
Sorry its a bit long and many thanks for helping me out on this.

It totally sounds like nutrient burn. Meaning, you have overdosed your plant on nutriets and its making it sick. My suggestion would be to flush the plant with clean pure rain water without any nutes. Do you have a ppm meter? .. flush ur plant until a good amount of water comes out of the bottom. Then hold off on giving it nutes until next watering (once the soil is really dry). Im a nebie on soil growing but ive done lots of hydro grows and experienced the excast same looking problem on my plant when i overdosed it with nutes (nute burn is what its called).

FYI: its better to under feed then over feed.. cut back on the nutes a little bit

Hmm indeed it does look like nute burn I would flush for a hole week and start from there. You don't want to do that to many times could effect growth and in turn yield.

Thanks for the tips,
i forget to mention that i have flushed them, today is the first day they have has some propa nutes for around a week,lol maybe it could be my water then??
I have a big drum i share wiv a neighbour that collects rain water and we have not had decent rain for a week! the drum has just about run out, maybe the left over water is stagnent??? it smells a bit odd but because i have added nutes now im not sure wot smell is who.
i did ask about for PH/EC reader but they said around £100! :evil:
I have a cheap ph reader but its useless.
i dont have much knowledge of ppm readers other than they tell you how bad your water is.
I will have to look into that asap.
I will check my water ph in the morning and try adding baking soda or vinegar to see any changes before i water them, is this a good idea?? lol

Oh, and 2moro i will post more pics of my other lady who is healthy (touch wood). lol, as this is the 400watt club and not the 'Plant Problems' page. lmao
thanks for your help

hi there, do you mean "plagron", if so http://www.plagron.com/Index_uk.htm this should help, just click on which grow concept you are using (you should be able to tell that from the bottle) and there are charts on each page giving directions on nute dosage.

i had a look at your pics on the previous page, your buds are looking cool so i wouldn't worry too much about the fan leaves, but I would agree with the others. flush, then check ph (if there is a ph problem this will stop the leaves getting nutes so your new feed will be doing no good anyway) if you are using soil or coco you only want to feed for another couple of weeks (+ depending on how it looks) then flush and water only. good luck (and also check the water you are using, sounds a bit like bongsmilie water. check the leaves on this pic (also grown under a 400 hps)

Thanks, had a look on there site (plagron) lol,
The instuctions on the bottle are different from the one stated on their site! lol
the bottle: use every time you water.
The chart: Use once a week!!??

just got a propa ph reader and a few bottles of mountain spring water as the rain drum is empty now, will flush with these and then test the soil, hopefully all will be well soon,:-?
thanks for all the tips, its always nice to see someone else who has had the same kinda of problem but with nice looking buds, thanks again,
(will post bud pics later.)
