🌱 Hmmm, it looks a lot like a Calcium deficiency. It's possible that your water has calcium, but not available in a form that the plant can use. Roots can only absorb certain forms, which is why it's recommended to get a Cal-Mag supplement when you see a calcium deficiency. That's also why you PH the water, because the PH changes the molecular form of the nutrients and the plant can absorb some but not others.

Also, if you add calcium without magnesium, it can give you a magnesium deficiency, which is why with plants you always see those two things packaged together. I personally prefer Cal-Mag Plus since it also contains a tiny amount of Iron, which is also related to Cal-Mag uptake. But any Cal-Mag supplements made for plants works! And definitely focus on getting the PH going in and out in the right range! If the PH is too high or too low for too long, you will get nutrient deficiencies, I can assure you from experience! 🌱

thanks buddy wasnt adding much but im using tomato feed now atm water was at 8.5 at the start as my mate didnt know what i wanted the water for :L was very slow growing but since i got the p.h right and started adding nutes its growing faster than ever but the spots must have been from then as no spots on new growth

🌱 Sounds like you fixed it! Awesome! Keep us posted! 🌱

Hello Dolly, berrypilot is right this is a Ph/nute problem.
I Googled your "kangen water" and from a short read it seems cool that it ionizes/charges your water/particles it sounds like you have control over your waters Ph 2.5 to 9 with the push of a button( you still need to check it coming out of the pot!) But I don't think it adds calcium. If your run off PH is Around 6ish and has been for TWO months your soil is depleting of nutrients that it is going to need, that is were all off your nutrients are coming from and the longer in the soil the more the plant uses up. you are going to need to replenish the nutrients one way or another, seaweed is for stress not for just growing with,

I see the small plant next to your bigget one, in a small pot, it is have a problem too. That looks like a nitrogen deficiency!

What kind of soil are you growing in?
you will need a good one like fox farm or kind soil (I haven't grow in soil in twenty years, I made supersoil.)


For this grow pictured Im thinking you will benefit from
1) checking your run off PH.
once and only once your have that knowledge if needed
2) do some sort of fertilizer and adding cal-mag
3) transplant to a bigger pot with good soil especially that little one.

you can grow a small plant in a small pot, I just got done with a small 4" pot grow. Using fox fram trio and cal-mag ever other watering 12/12 from two weeks out. Harvest all of 5 grams pictures below.

cheers buddy the dog got at the little plant and was lying on the garden with it thought it was dead but put it in see thru bottle to see if its still viable roots are flying so gonna wait a while and cut it out of the bottle and re-plant its a pure power plant the big one is black domina x maple leaf i got seed off a mate adding nutrients its tomato feed now but since i started adding it shes flying up and no spots on new growth didnt have the extractor fan on at the start as i thought didnt really matter at such a young age and was trying 2 keep the temp up was guessing at that stage but got a thermometer and fan doesnt really affect the heat so have it on full time now i think shes gonna fly up now is it ok to trim couple of fan leaves if they get 2 big to let light through to the bottom of the plant thats why ive got all the tin foil :L but dont wanna slow growth down im after topping it few times to get more bud points higher up the plant its in a fabric pot will it damage the roots if i try and re-plant? have top class soil there whats the best way of doing it? sorry for all the questions just trying to learn as much as i can im using the drops to test the p.h whats the best way to test the run off as soil would leave the water cloudy :/

Hello Dolly,
1) I believe cutting big fan leafs is ok, some people say NO! But if you haven't cut in a grow you need to be careful not to take to many, it can slow/harm your plant. If you are going to cut, take a couple and stop, don't cut again for a week. "You can always take more later but you can never put them back".

2) to transplant, have your new pot ready, fill up with soil and place your old pot in to make sure you have the right amount of soil in your new pot.
people use a butter knife around the edges, and gently try to loosen your pot from the soil. It helps to be a little damp but not wet! Hold your old pot at the bottom with one hand and your other hand at the base of you stem in between your thumb and finger, palm down over a tray to catch with the new pot close and flip, remover pot and place in new container, fill in edges with dirt. You can cut you old pot off too. JUST BE GENTLE WITCH EVER WAY.
3) your run off, This I'm not sure I don't use drops. My best guess is to try a test and see. Sorry just can't give you a good straight answer on this one, but you run off PH is important.
One last thing, your see though pot is not a good idea, roots do not like light.
Hope this helps and keep us posted.

cheers buddy ive been reading up about it and gonna remove a couple to get more light lower down the plant. oops i 4got about the light and roots :O 4got to wrap the bottle back in foil should do the trick ive got a monster pot there ive been waiting to transplant was just going to cut few lumps out of the fabric pot and re-plant have no idea when shes gonna be ready to put in2 flower ive got it on a 24hr light cycle ive got a timer but was reading 24hrs better for your plant i dunno tbh. might see if i can filter the run-off thru a sponge give it a go anyway shes about 3 months old now but its only starting to rocket up now think it grew about 5 inches in the last week looks very healthy so just wanna expose as many bud points as possible try and maximise my yield dont even know what 2 expect as its my first grow but fingers crossed
