Hi guys,

So i was just tending to my girls having a good look to make sure everything's ok and ive found what looks to be some deficiencies creeping in.

Now i know ive damaged a couple of the lower leaves at the start by not paying attention while grabbing the pot and pinching them between, However ive started to notice more problems now which are not on them leafs.

Firsty i noticed that the tips of the new growth were yellowing like this...

And also bright green almost glowing leaf veins like this...

This started some time last week and doesnt seem to be getting much worse but isnt improving either. I thought it was maybe because she hadn't had any nutes but she was given a feed a couple days ago and ive seen no improvement so not sure.

Ive also noticed some blemishes on her leaves that look like ive got nute water on them but now ive spotted some patches higher up the plant so im not so sure thats what it is. Pictures of issues...

Im not 100% sure on whether this is nute water or something else.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, id like to catch anything before it gets too serious :thumbs:

Ps. sorry is this post is a little hard to read, keep losing my train of thought :lol:

This is now making me extremely nervous finding this on both my girls. really really hoping its not a pest!

Any help? someone? anyone? :lol:
 
Gonna need some info on soil, ph, watering feeding. Tip burn is usually the start of nute burn(no biggie yet) but more info needed to rule out other things
 
Soil: Plagron Light mix
Soil ph: between 6-6.5
Up untill two days ago all she had was one single half dose of greenfuse grow stim then a week after she got half dose of ionic grow nutes.

The tips had gone yellow way before nutes were introduced hence why i wasnt sure about nute burn. on the lower leaves it could easily be me not being careful enough while watering but the top ones have me worried now. It looks like somethings been eating them!

Edit: shes also 26 days old if that helps
 
Having looked at that thread im very much leaning towards ph issues causing nute lockout. although last time i tested run off it was fine my ph meter isnt the best maybe its out?
 
Maybe Boron for the yellowing tips of new leaves?
Ive also just read something about not enough light or not enough light to nute ratio?

This is baffling to me!
 
Your water is pretty hard if I recall correctly good sir.. but we'll get back to that..

What kind of light? Watts, spectrum, hours it's on? How far is the light?
That waxy look is more than likely heat/light/air circulation issues.. the leaf blemishes may the same.. Have you splashed any nutrients where the blemishes are?
Plagron Light-Mix is all you're running with no nutrients? The hardness of your water will provide you with cal/mag.. no issues there, but other essential micro nutrients aren't present in water all too often.

Can we get some shots of the lowest fan leaves?
 
Hey carbon! This is one of those take a deep breath and a step back moments. First of all, don't panic! Doing anything while panicking means you will probably overlook something and do something else wrong and make it worse.
So, first, don't worry so much about random marks or brown spots on leaves unless you start to notice a pattern. Dripping some nutes on leaves can cause all sorts of marks and discolorations.
What you have going on here is a case of nute burn. I'm almost completely positive.
The curly leaves are a sign of too much nitrogen usually (though sometimes random) and the tips are burned from too many nutes.
The paler top is totally normal. Often when they kick into flower you get a much more lime green tint to the top growth.
Those burned tips are nothing to worry about at this point but are a great indicator.
What I would do is flush with plain 6.5 pH water...3 times the normal volume of the pot.
Wait 24 hours
Feed VERY LIGHTLY...like only 25 % of what you last fed...so if you were already only feeding 1/4 strength nutes...feed 1/4 of that 1/4... Make sense?
That's one of the big reasons I feed with organics. It's very hard to over-feed with the organics. Autos tend to be very sensitive to chemical nutes, and it takes people some time to dial in to what the plant likes, and then each plant is different.

You caught it early! She will be totally fine. Can you post a full plant shot from the top and side in normal room light...not the bright lights of the tent. It would be great to see that before you dive in, just to make sure. Sometimes the close ups can be hard to tell with.
 
I hope that didn't come off as mean or anything...it was supposed to sound reassuring and confident. You really have a good handle on your girls. I know you can head this off before its really a problem.

Green karma and happy plant juju coming your way!!!:smokebuds:
