Your plant looks amazing. How does she smell?

thank you for passing by and checking my plant. She has days and days. Sometimes the smell is so powerful, it gets out of the wardrobe and the room, sometimes it's just in the room. Nice smell! Good thing I don't have to hide the smell. I will add some new pics soon
 
day 73 with 24 in flowering. The plant looks good, no major things since yesterday. I had a closer look to some of the leaves and I noticed something.( not on all the leaves, on the older ones) Some tiny black dots ( not spots) that are transforming in yellow small dots. Otherwise the affected leaves are looking healthy. No rust or curling. It can be CaMg deficit or N and P deficit? I am feeding her once every second watering with MG( 3 cups) should I give more and/or more often or should I search for some CaMg salts ( but in this bloody fucking thing called a country I don't find anything :x )
I'll try to post some pics today

try to get close up pics if you can...might be cal/mg but if it is only on lower leaves it will be ok long as it is not in middle or top leaves, as some lower leaves will die off when plant needs the extra nutrients, if your not feeding enough, but if only on lower bottom ones, i would worry..but still try to get some clear pics of effected leaf.

or its critters...if they come off with you fingers... then could be bugs :( if they don't come off than could be deficiency.
 
no no, most definite they don't come off with the finger. I was thinking about nasty horrors like spider mites bit I checked the leaves under and searched for any bugs. Indeed, I have some gnats, they are there for a long time, but not in a large number and I don't think they are causing this. I'll post some pics soon. Thanks for the quick reply!
 
I'll try today to search for some epsom salt even I am not confident I'll find it...if not my only chance would be again...osteoporosis pills. Changed the size of the pot since the last time so I think I will add 2 of them. 1 g Calcium + vit D ( this in case the plant is with CaMg def)
 
I'll try the supermarkets and maybe some "health shops". And if I will find it, how to use it? how much should I add?

dolomite lime has ca/mg

I've searched for that too, they don't have it. There is only a B&Q store in this city where I could find gardening things and the guys there...they don't have a clue. They don't have it. They have some huge 50kg bags of white decorative stones that looks like dolomite...but it's 50 kgs...
 
first you wanna make sure it is cal/mag deficient...before treating it.... it might not even be that bad...need to see it first.

and dolomite lime usually only comes in big bags for lawns/gardens....whats it say on the bag? any writing...or elements posted on bag?
 
Yea, called Calcichew D3 Forte. This is a list of what it contains:
Sorbitol E420
Povidone
Isomalt (E953)
Flavouring (lemon)
Fatty acid mono- and diglycerides
Aspartame (E951)
Magnesium stearate
Sucrose
Gelatin
Soya bean oil, hydrogenated
Tocopherol
Maize starch



Vitamin D and related compounds (hydroxylated derivatives and glycosides) occur naturally in certain plants. The metabolism of vitamin D3 in Solanum malacoxylon Sendtn. is similar in certain respects to that in animal systems. There is also evidence that vitamin D3, plays a role in processes regulated by Ca2+ in plants. Vitamin D3 possesses plant growth substance activities and in particular enhances adventitious root formation.
Evidence that vitamin Ds could affect Ca2+ uptake was lacking for plants. For this reason, the radioisotope 45Ca2+ was employed to measure the uptake of calcium into shoots of micropropagated potato plantlets (Solanum tuberosum ‘Russet Burbank’) treated with nutrient solutions containing vitamin Ds (D2 or D3 at 0, 10, 25 or 50 mgL-1) and Ca (3, 5 or 15 mM). Vitamin Ds at 25 mgL-1 were most effective at improving 45Ca2+ uptake into plantlet shoots. At higher concentrations (50 mgL-1) vitamin D3 did not stimulate 45Ca2+ uptake beyond that achieved at 25 mgL-1 and D2 was inhibitory to uptake. It was evident from this study that vitamin Ds improved 45Ca2+ uptake into shoots of micropropagated potato plantlets and that D3 was more efficient in this capacity than D2 or a combination of D2 and D3. Vitamin Ds apparently play a similar role in both plants and animals by affecting Ca absorption and Ca-mediated cellular functions
