Well lets see here.. Im now 4 weeks into flowering and had a quick question. I didn't know why the leaves are getting tiny brown/yellow spots on them. The light isn't to hot so i didn't think it was a heat issue. plus the leaves are curling under a bit. take a look at the pics and any advice would be appreciated. as far as nutes go i use iguana juice bloom, once a week, or about every 3rd watering.. thank you fellow intellects :joint: :peace:

ill throw up a pic sometime tonight of the underside.. i don't really think its spider mites but i could be wrong. im in there everyday looking around pretty intensly. picking off bad leaves and examining. the thing i thought it might be was the plants was to close to the lights. but then again its not hot on my hand... hmmm not really sure here.... :joint:

flush your plants, but I would hurry up and spray them too. It could still be spider mites even though you don't see any. are there any white spots on the leaves or any spots that look like an insect has eaten them? if not, then it probably is a nute problem... flushing does wonders

ill post a new pic later tonight. as far as feeding its iguana juice, and on the label it says use 3.5 ml per liter. i use around 10 ml per gallon. so thats about half strength. keep the investigation going!!

well here is a look at the leaves now. still think its mites? or what else could this possibly be? i checked my entire crop for mites and didn't find one bug or anything. i watered them tonight with just h20. i use RO water around 6.0. should that change for flowering. any good tips on getting some killer sized good buds? :peace::joint:

the leaves are getting more brownish and hard. the spots have evolved into almost green/brown spots and is acting like a nutrient burn or something. this is only happening on 1 plant. one other one is getting burnt a little, minus the dots. we can figure it out!
get blazed and think!!!

good thing its not mites... like i said i searched for them but didn't find anything.. yeah i have flushed several times. i would says its been about 3 weeks since a nice flush. that might take care of it. should i use straight water or add salt? seems strange but im hear to listen!

straight water should work just fine, but if you want to get fancy you can use a flushing agent or epson salt. mattman seems to know what he's talking about, i would try that.

Can I flush my plants even though they are only 14 days into flower, I havent used just H20 the whole time. Vegged for 5 weeks with BCUZZ A and B and 3D organics liq comp. (but with half the rec. nutes.) Went to 12/12 and switched to Floramicro and Florabloom and stayed with the 3D organics. I feed them like twice or three times a week depending how dry. I am also just in Soil with 2 1/2 gal. pots under 4 1000's HPS. I also have a big spider mite prob. which could be it to but I have a 1000 ladys coming to help real soon with that since every type of safer soap or neem oil cant do the job. Please help.

mites for sure. You have a lot of them too. Best to remove the leaves that have a ton of those spots- those are the eggs. If you look under the leaves you will see small white eggs and brown mites look closely. You are also nitrogen defiecient. Try fertilizing more often- like 4 out of 5 times. Just flush every month with lots of water and keep giving them ferts. I would tell you to get some predator mites but i think it might be too late in flowering for them to matter. They usually take about three weeks to eat the mites.

definitely not mites. checked very well.. i think im going to go with the epson salt, or a supplement that has what it adds to the plants. been reading alot of good things about what the salt does for plants. anyway tomorrow im going to water them with it and well see what happens...
