I'm thinking calcium def....
I already dosed with epsom salt, nothing.
I'm using fox farms grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom in sync. ALL PH'd with a digital meter to 6.5.
Definately not ozone damage plant is outdoors in michigan and its not all that hot...
Plant is in the ground in a hole filled with miracle grow soil mixed with 10% perlite...
Plant was doing excellent the first couple weeks flowering then out of nowhere it started with the OLDER growth, the fan leaves started "spotting"

just check the pics... this is the plant now. Its purple power from marijuana-seeds.nl

Thanks ahead of time.

I also foliar sprayed a 1tbs per quart mixture of neem oil about once a week during veg stage, if that could mean anything. I seen leaf damage and those little jumping white bugs, i cant remember the name. But lately I have not seen any bugs

I don't know what's wrong with your plant, but I found this thread when looking up info on purple power. I have 'tried' to grow two purple power plants, and find that when following the feeding schedule, it's the only plant out of four or five varieties that shows problems. I do the same thing as I do with my durban poison, grapefruit, MI5, 60-day wonder, purple jem lowryder & diesel ryder, and this is the only plant that isn't responding well. It must be something in the genetics. It either creates too much or too little of something the others don't.

I would recommend pulling off the damaged leaves. The plant is still pushing energy towards those leaves and if your remove them, it can push that energy towards somewhere else on the plant.

Thats the funny thing, we got some nice hard rain this week which would have been the best flush possible and it did nothing positive to the plant. Thats why I figure its got to be a deficiency of some sort. I'm not heavy at all on the nutes, I was only giving 1 gallon of water per week with one capful of tigerbloom and 2 capfulls of big bloom. I've been letting the rain take care of it mostly, and its worked fine until now

I removed the worst leaves, I dont like to rip them off... When they are ready to fall off you can usaully just pull on it a little and it snaps at the stalk.

get some lady bugs from the store if there is a bug problem they will stay and cure it if not they will leave,
your not growing in a contained planter what is growing behind , beside, and next to it? any chance for
acidic runoff affecting it? water with tap water? high iron content?

I'm not sure about my tap water being high in iron, it just might be. But ive been getting steady rain, perfect imo like weekly rains which should be doing plenty of flushing for me. I'm pretty much stuck on calcium deficiency. I dont have a local hydro store so I had to ebay cal mag and its on its way will be here before the weekend, im crossing my fingers on that one. Im thinking the soil is too acidic, i should have used lime but didnt :/
