Spotting

[actionjackson512003]

I use all 3. As flowering progresses I slowly cut back on the grow and I add the amount I cut from the grow to the flora bloom. Mostly I follow the instructions on the bottle, cut it by 50% of what they recommend, and amend the grow/bloom as mentioned above as flowering progresses. My last feed will be zero grow all Micro/bloom. I max out at about 800ppms with the autoflowers.


I'm not positive, but I believe koolbloom is a pk booster to be used in addition to florabloom, not as a replacement. Like I said, not positive, but it's something you might wanna look into further.

I will for sure, thanks

Regardless of what anyone says, my experience assured me to always, always check ph. I use distilled water only and even the slightest nute infusion changes the ph

I would get similar symptoms with light stress on my uppers. I moved the light up 6" and now 2 to 3 weeks out im getting some leaf issues but i am taking them as end of life issues.

So not getting anymore spotting, bit now I have this colouration on some of the new leaves, not sure if its strain specific for the purple punch or what at flowering

Things seem to be getting worse for my purple punch, losing all its colour, buds seem to be still growing. I've balanced the ph levels and cut back on the feeding a bit, so not sure what's going on. Too much light maybe? I've got two 450w LEDs but one per plant in my 2x4 tent. Should I do a full flush maybe to the soil?

I have a Walter White in mid-flower doing almost exactly the same thing....only on upper leaves....they started spotting yellow and got worse. Now they look almost exactly like yours, with the purplish/reddish/maroonish color starting on some. I'll have to get a good pic later, after work. I have tried everything...flush, upped Cal-Mag and Micronutes to no avail. Lol. It has left me scratching my head. The only other possibility I haven't ruled out with mine yet is, she was underfed for about a week during the start of flower....guess there's no way for me to know if thst was the issue or not. My buds are continuing to grow and look pretty good....its confusing...haha.

Edit:
Forgot to add that I did a slurry test of my Coco and it was 5.7...and low ppms....so I don't think it is a pH or lockout issue....but idk...I am still new to this growing thing(1 year).

Great response thanks! The hard water could be it, I just had to replace the salt in my water softener. But you say I'm missing a part in the 3 part system what would that be? The floragrow?

whoa! did I miss that? Like MoG said, do NOT use salt exchange softened water! Either Na or K type salts are the problem, Na especially since it's toxic at low levels,... Too much K will screw with the uptake of other cations, may cause K toxicity too; I don't see signs of that yet fortunately, but in any case you should switch water sources ASAP.. do you have those inexpensive self-fill machine at the markets, or a water store? that's the best deal and way to go,... Meantime, the red/purple color is normal expression, but the pale tops I addressed originally... you likely have a mild micronutrient defc. happening,...

Open up a new thread here mate, start with the patient form in the colored section above this one... just c/p it into the thread and fill it in,... first guess is a simple lack-of defc., could be S or Zn,....

Ok thanks, I'll give that a try. I have a water store nearby, or if I put a water purifier on that tap, think that would help?

The only problem I have though is I have a dark devil right beside it, and it's doing great, and then two photoperiod outdoors that are doing good a silver haze and a bubba kush that had mites and stunted its growth. But all using the same water.
