Time for a quick update guys!
As you know, last time I updated this thread, I had worries about some brown/orange spots showing up on some of the leaves.
I then decided to "clean" the soil my plant is growing in by giving her a good amount of clean water before feeding her.
Well.. after a few days I can report that the spots are still showing, also on leaves I'm pretty sure did not have any last time.
I also have some yellowing on some of the larger leaves, but I take that as totally normal. But I do not like the brown/orange spots!
So what I did today was give her clean water again, and let everything run through. After that I measured the pH of the run off, and it came out at 6,5.
I then continued with the feeding. I gave her the same dosage as last time, because when I tried to add more nutrients a few weeks ago, I got burned tips, and I don't want that.
So the mix was; 3ml/L BioBloom, 1ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L TopMax and a teaspoon of Molasses.
When I was done feeding her I measured the run off again, and it came out at about pH 6. And I think it's a little too low, but what can I do? I can't keep giving her more water, so I guess I'll just have to wait until next feeding?
Anyways.. when I was done watering her I went on to cut away some of leaves that were covering bud sites, and also to cut of some of the leaves with "damage", so that I can show you guys.
Here you can see some of the leaves affected by the brown/orange spots. I have no idea what is causing this, and one of the leaves (the first picture) had a larger area almost at the base, which is worrying me even more.
And here's a few I took of the plant to show you the "damage".
As you can see, some of the growth have a lighter color than the rest. Do you think it might be something else causing the problems? I have been thinking that maybe she don't like the Molasses too good?
If I'm correct, the problems did not start to show before I had added the Molasses to the feeding schedule. Any thoughts? I'm kind of at a loss her. I can't figure out what the problem is.
I also took a few pictures of the plant as a whole. Just to show you the general state of her. She mostly looks healthy, and the majority of the leaves have a good color. Which is why this is all so odd.
So what do you guys think? Should I give her less nutrients next time, or do you think it's the pH still? I hope some of you have a clue, because I would hate for this whole project to end up in the toilet, just because of some spots without a origin.
Much love!
Peace.

I do hydro, but she does look like she is a little hungry. Your leaf spots do look like the start of a Ca deficiency-I don't have any suggestions on how you would address that with your nutes. I have grown AI a couple of times, indoors and out and she is definitely a THUMPER. Your welcome.

Thanks for the link, but it's to no use. In this country we have VERY strict rules when it comes to supplements. For example; I can't order anything of the internet if the product information on the back of the product is in any other language than Norwegian. And when it comes to the actual nutrients in a supplement. Every thing needs to be the type of vitamin/mineral that dissolves in water. So no pure amino acids, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients. So that means that the product needs to be made here, controlled here and sold here. In other words, really really expensive. One small bottle of vitamin pills (the type you take with your breakfast) about $14, and it will last you for 3 weeks tops. So you can imagine what a bag of "pure" minerals/vitamins will cost me.
So what I need right now is some good old homemade Cal Mag supplement. Something I can make from stuff I can buy at the super market.

It's getting worse.
When I woke up today, the first thing I did was to check in on the plant. And the brown/orange spots are spreading, and soon every single leaf will be affected.
And there's nothing I can do about it.
At this rate, there will be nothing left when harvest comes..
She has stopped growing, so the buds are not getting bigger. The leaves are dying, soon they'll start falling off. Several of the leaves lower down on the plant have turned 100% yellow, and this is also affecting more and more leaves.
So I'm 2 seconds away from throwing the whole thing in the garbage. What a waste of time...

Brother, settle down. It's not over yet. You can do this.
Milk is legal, even in Norway? just dilute it 1:4 parts water, adjust your ph. Some guys give even more milk than that. But if you're scared, go light, like a liter of milk in 8 or 10 liters of water, and adjust.
Remember, the spots that are on your leaves won't go away, they will get bigger an worse looking as the leaf grows, even if you've solved your problem. You need to look for new spots on new growth to know that you're still off kilter.

I've heard that milk might be a solution. But what about fungus, mold and other nasty stuff that dairy products bring with them?
And yes, I've been looking at new growth. And that is why I'm a little pissed off right now. It's spreading all over the place. And the leaves that had a nice deep green color a few days ago, are now spotted, yellowing and just sickly looking.
I'm actually flushing the poor thing right now. It just don't seem right that she is suffering from a lack of nutrients. Something is off, and I'm still blaming the pH.
It might be some bad roots from earlier in the grow, but there's something inside the soil making my pH go bad between feedings.
So what I'm doing now is showering her in the bathroom. And after the second soak, I could smell farts. Yes, farts. The smell we all know too well.
The same smell your buddy lets out from the other end of the couch, when you're watching the game and having a few beers.
And that is strange, coming from a plant. It does not necessarily have to be a bad thing, but I want to see what's going on here.
And even after the second soak, the run off still comes out in the high 5's / low 6's.
So I'll get back to you in a while.
Fingers crossed!

Ok!
After several hours of "tinkering" with this little lady, I've managed to;
- Flush her (5-6 soakings in the shower)
- Add a new layer of soil (the soil is pH'ed to 6,3 when it's made)
- Mix 1dl (0,4 cups) of Milk to 3 liters (12 cups) of water, mixed with 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt, 3ml/L BioBloom, 1ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L TopMax and a tiny teaspoon of Baking soda, just to "force" the pH of the feeding water a little higher than normal.
By doing this, my goal is to correct what ever it is that makes my soil so acidic, and at the same time, feed the poor thing.
Now I'll wait. Give her until tomorrow to recover. And hopefully she'll look a lot better then.
Thanks for all the help!

Morning Cocho, sounds like ph to me too, I bet they are fine looking after they get over their showers, my last girlfriend had that same gas problem. lol

Oh jeez, funky smells when you flush. I had never thought of figuring out root rot that way. Are you adding an enzymatic cleaner to your flush water?
If you really have root rot, you're on track to getting it sorted out. There's a tutorial for that!

Nice job, Cocho. I knew you could pull this together. I think what she really needs now is a good dry off period.
Sometimes, when I'm overwatering, I will stick some air hose several inches into the drain holes, or poke a little hole in the side of a smart pot and run air into the soil.

"So I'm 2 seconds away from throwing the whole thing in the garbage. What a waste of time..." That plant is a long way from death's door. Calm down...blow some weed. My vote is for the Epsom salts, but I wouldn't be administering the milk. Also that molasses by your olfactory intuition might contain sulphur. I'd get rid of that as well. It's always best to keep it simple stupid. By all means don't panic. You will harvest some very good weed from that plant.
