HELP...HELP....HELP....Very tiny Brown/red spots ALL OVER my leaves...PICS OF COURSE

I have leaves all over my plant that in the last day have started to get these very tiny rusty-reddish-brown looking spots all over....new and old leaves alike have this, even the new leaves coming out of my buds have it.

I have bashed my head against the wall trying to find a ph meter around here and I cannot... the best I have got is a fish tank ph tester from walmart and i cant get the water from the pot to change to a read-able color on the chart because of the soil in it.

GRRRRRRR.....


Some of my leaves have nute burn I know for sure, But I'm using 6-10-10 and I havent been using them but a week or so. every 3 days I sprinkle some granules on the soil and water with tap water at 7.6 ph to try and keep the soil from getting acidic.( i think I might have failed)

I suspect nute lockout but I really want to see if someone else can prove me wrong.

I have epsome salts in my home but they have some fragrance stuff in them aswell I'm scared to use them...the fragrance is like spearmint and some other plant so I dont think its chemical....anyway I dont know if I should use it.


Plant stuff
bagseed week 5 of flowering
shultz top soil with perlite mixed in
4 42 watt 6500k cfl lights about 3 or 4 inches from plant tops...a lot of good light. I have mirrors and the box is only 6" by 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall...
pennington 6-10-10 all purpous nutes for flowering..(its all they had..literally)


I dont know what to do and I dont know any way of using this fish tank ph kit for my soil...any ideas??
will the reding be correct if I sift the soil from the water until it was clear enough to use in the vile?
I have tried looking at every nute def. page on google and roll it up and cannot find anything telling me what I have wrong with my plant.

Didnt I just respond to this? lol I see those brown spots as possibly an Ozone issue. When I have root lockout the leaves just turn yellow as the plant starts using its juice to survice. I would say increase fresh air intake.

I've got a fan big enough to bend the plant over on it and it doesnt seem to effect anything. I know for sure I have fresh air

Just because you have a fan blowing on it doesnt mean you have fresh air. Fresh air is brought in from a clean source....such as a window with a suction fan in to. Dont confuse moving air with fresh air.

I didnt notice the mirrors and foil. You should remove these as well and just go with flat white painted walls. Foil is known to cause burn by concentrating the light onto a certain spot on the plant. Besides it appears you foil at the bottom is shiny side up. It is actually the dull side that you should use. Dont take my word for it ask around...

ph in soil should be 6.8 and you need fresh air not recycled air

Every 3 days ?!!??!? You should do that like ONCE/MONTH with those nutes.

DO NOT use those scented epsom salts. Get some plain at the drug/grocery store for $3 or so.

Get a pH pen, a Milwaukee 600 is ~$20 on ebay.

You are loving your plants to death.

Flush with ph'd water, looks like nute lock out from salt build up

You're right man...lol I have actually resorted to working on my 1970 buick in the snowy parking lot to keep from messing with that damn plant haha.
and I was pretty sure already that the epsom salts werent going to be good for the plant... thanks for the reassurance.

And the nutes...haha...I dont even think Im going to use them...Ill just have a nuteless plant...not much bud, but I'm sure itll taste good lol

These are the things I knew would happen with my first grow.
I'm starting a journal today with my 3 new seeds. And I actually have a schedule and a feeding plan and a pre-constructed place to grow in. This grow was my first ever and I kind of built everything as the plant grew. This thing started out under my night stand with 2 incandescent bulbs and some miracle grow soil. So I can at least say I have learned a shitload about growing indoors from this little adventure.

thanks guys Ill post some pics next week so you guys can see the results of your advice!
thanks a million again

You dont think its too late in flowering to flush??? I wanted to flush it but Im scared to take it out of the pot...and I feel liek this soil will never dry out if I just flush in the soil....
a little help with technique??? The FAQ's all tell the general "how to" but they dont exactly cover how to go about actually flushing the water through the medium...maybe I just didnt look hard enough.

I hope you have good soil that drains well and leave it in your pot.. Just ph your water and water it until your runoff equalls your pot size times 2

Ok, I flushed it 3 days ago, and I made a newer, bigger, not as shittyer grow box and the ventalation has been a plus and my girl got her smell back. I cant even tell how long I have until flower though, the buds look a little small and it feels liek its getting close to time to harvest...(working on the 5th week right now)
I just bought some bone meal and put about a palm's worth in the soil and mixed it down in there good. hopefully it will give her what she needs to finish with some love for her master...or is she MY master...maybe thats what the problem has been this whole time?

so, Ill post some more pics and maybe you guys can give a little hint as to how long you think I've got?
it's just bagseed and its been flowering since Nov.21
the only flowering nutes I have used were the molasses water really...some fish tank water...just dumb shit lol up until the bone meal 2 days ago, that is

forgot the main one and a picture of the player ass ghetto set up cost me 60 bucks total so far lol( mostly light bulb costs)

Flowering with 6500k?
