Hey all, long time lurker first time poster. I have this Durban Poison plant that was doing well but now has what looks like a calcium deficiency? I have been feeding her with H&G Soil and a little cal mag plus. PPM during veg was around 500ish and I have increased that up to around 1k at this point. Plant is in a 5 gallon pot in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil with about 20% added perlite.
This is what the girl looked like on Jan 12th 2015. I had recently topped her as you can see in this photo.
Here she is a couple weeks later showing her sex.
A couple more weeks and she is starting to flower pretty well. I had my ballast dimmed to 600w for the MH bulb that I had used in veg and had continued the 600w with the HPS bulb I installed when I switched her to a 12/12 lighting schedule. I decided to go ahead and kick up the wattage to 1000w and I neglected to raise the light when I did it. N00b mistake and within one day I had orange dots on a bunch of fan leaves.
Here she is a couple of days ago and as you can see she has orange dots on her leaves that seem to indicate a calcium deficiency. Could this be caused by having the light too close?
A close up of one of her flowers.
I would welcome any advice from any of you as this is my first time growing this wonderful plant.
Regards
