A couple of the top leaves are getting discolored, heres a pic, if someone can help out that would be cool. Also Im not using any nutes at all, watering every other day, about 3/4 gallon. 3 months into growing.

Also, as you can see in one of the pics, the purple widow splits right at the beginning of the stem, and the two branches that come off, are just as big as the main one. Exept they are having trouble standing up, had to tie them to stick to keep them up. Hopefully that is not a problem, and are they to bushy? Im not sure if I should trim them, to get more bud, because its now just starting to bud, and you can see the purple in it, but not sure if I need to change something to make them bud more, this is first time grow, and im basically just trying to learn from it. So any tips or tricks would be helpful, I dont know much, so basically just assume I know nothing. Thanks guys

I just looked and it does say 2004, weird. Probably because I havent used my camera for so long, date must have gotten messed up. Well they are not from 2004, I took them couple days ago, but I will take some more tomorow, see if I can fix the date. Ill take pics of the bud starting to grow, and you can see the purple in it, but Im confused as to why the purple widow is starting to bud but the white widow isnt, when they are in the same earth box, same water, same soil, same sunlight.. everything is the same, but white widow dosnt even show any signs of starting. Prolly just genetics. Is there a fertilizer or something I should be doing to make sure it buds as much as it can?

Anyone know how to post pics in full size in the post. I can do thumbnails, but I see alot of people with full size pics in there posts, and just curious how to do that. Save you guys the trouble of having to click all my links to see pics.

Okay guys I have some updated pictures, and the Purple widow is starting to bud really nice. I tried to take a upclose picture of it, but for some reason whenever my camera gets closed to the bud, it gets all hazy lol. But I have a problem, Some of the leafs are getting discolored, and have some spots on them. I dont think they are mites, I looked and theres no sign. About 10 of the leafs are like this, so would some one who knows his stuff please help a new grower out? Thanks guys, and to anyone who helps me out, thanks a bunch.


Here are pics of the discolored leafs








And here are some pictures of the plants, and one close up of the purple widow bud starting. I know the purple bud is blurry, ill try and get a better one in a couple days.





Purple widow is on the right, White Widow is on the left below

About the discoloration of the leaves- I do not believe this is that problem. Your plant seems to have signs of nutrient lockout. I would recomend mixing wood ash with water for your next feeding. Always remember, do not increase amounts of ph raisers or lowerers as you continue to attempt to change the soil's ph. This makes sure you do not overshoot with your feeding.

I fixed the pictures, so they are now big pictures... I have alot of wood ash in my firepit, just grab a bunch of that, onenote? Thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it :mrgreen:

O and how much do you think? Lets say for a 2 liter bottle, how much should I fill with Ash, and how much with water?

Also the yellowing on the leaves could just be from them budding alot of times when the plants start to bud they discolor because they are using their chlorophyll to produce bud not the green leaves.... maybe

Yeh that could be the case, hopefully, thanks for the help.

Also, I have a question, if I was to get a clone, and put him outside, would he survive? because im not sure he would be able to get 18 hours of light, but I way down south, and I get plenty of light, so maybe it would be enough.
