December 9th: Since last week I didn't feed the plants any nutes (except for the cal-mag), I decided to feed them this time around with about 1.5L each plant. Some got a tad bit more. I was reading about TANG's feeding schedule and decided to up the nutrients this time, and by a pretty large margin. Previous feeding they had gotten about .5ml of GMB per liter. This time I decided to give them 1mL. Also, I am not using the RO water anymore. I realized that it may not be necessary as my tap water comes out at around 50ppm already. Instead, I still let it pass through a 3 stage filter to get out the chlorine/chloramine and also let it "air out" for a few days before adding nutes. Starting Water Amount: 14L Starting pH = 7.28 Starting ppm = 50 Post 12mL Cal Mag ppm = 211ppm Post 14mL GMB ppm = 514ppm Post Nute pH = 5.92 I am a bit concerned that the pH of the water I am giving my plants is too low. I don't have any pH up, but have been thinking about using baking soda to bring it up. I have some silica blast on the way which I'll use as a pH up. I'm concerned about #1 as the leaves are looking worse. Again, it's only on the bottom leaves of the first 2 nodes. The plant otherwise looks healthy and is growing tall. It still hasn't grown any branches while the other plants have grown loads of branches. I'm thinking about throwing #1 away- fucking peasant... I'm going to give it a flush with pHed water next week and see if it improves anything. The plants are starting to bush out and I'm LSTing them still. The plant that got crushed (#5) seems to have recovered fully and I removed the tape I've stopped taking height measurements now since I think that is pretty pointless with LST. I'm also unsure whether to record this week as veg or flower. There are pistils on some and calyx with no pistils on others.

Plant #3 (pic above) started as a sprout with discoloration. Now on its 4th node, the plant is still affected. Some other plants seem to have it to a lesser degree. I learned it may be TMV, but they are healthy and growing well other than this slight discoloration. Any thoughts?

No tobacco mosaic virus,I don't even believe that virus to be spread over cannabis plants.You run pots of the same strain,it's most likely a mutation like @SpinnerCaribbean explained. Newer growths look good,no mosaic virus

Plant #1 started out last week with light colored patches on the leaves of the first 3 nodes. The lighter green patches turned into a rustier color. Rest of plant looks healthy. Also all other plants aren't affected and are growing lots of branches, but #1 is not. Any ideas?

For some reason the microbial life in your soil isn't buffering the pH correctly probably from overwatering ever so slightly up to two or three weeks ago . If you don't have access to pH things you probably don't have access to anything right ? If you did have access you would be looking for beneficial bacteria, enzymes or humic acid (buffers to 6.5). Since you don't what you want to do is let the pot dry a bit more than usual then water very carefully with molasses, hopefully the sugar will feed her beneficial bacteria, make sure you get rid of compacting of the soil just by squeezing your fabric pot. Hope this helps 👊🏻

hey SourDeez, hope i answered your question 🤷‍♂️, anything else you need just let me know 🚀

@SourDeez, nah like i said input 6.0 but you want to measure 6.5 on the way out, this should be done by your soil naturally, but that's not happening. Adding silica in flower is going to cause more harm than good (pH issues with silica) . This problem seems like it's got worse and the pH has not fully stabilised. Instead of silica , try adding humic acid with your feeds. Humic acid will pH to 6.5 . The pH perfect nutrients are not exactly pH perfect sometimes - go figure ! 👊

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks for the fast reply. What's weird is all of the plants are the same strain but each one seems to be showing different things. Like Number 6 on week 7 has just a single leaf that has a bunch of black and also one leaf with a huge yellow spot that I never noticed (Definitely wasn't like that last week). I still think I have pH problems or the soil is to Alkaline but it's really just a guess. I water in at about pH 6 and then the runoff comes out at 6.8ish. The silica blast is coming today, do you think I should pH my water up to like 6.5?🙏

@SourDeez, good news, best i can tell that's from the pH fluctuations from before and the problem seems to have "stopped" spreading, the affected leafs wont recover as in get better, and the damage done "gets worse" in the sense the necrosis completes, give it another week of monitoring if you can see the issue's not spreading or getting that much worse then you can pull it off lol . that's actually not that bad with the damage, think you managed to rectify the situation quick enough to avoid the worst 👊

The greyish spots look like residue from a splash during watering and the worsening splotchy burn patches could be from a pH fluctuation like last week or something , if it stopped spreading means the soil is buffering itself correctly again 👍🏻

@CRiSPrGrow, Hey dude thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions on my first grow. I didn't even know this comments section existed as I'm new to the site. It's weird because I wasn't sure if the gray/brown spots were spreading or if they were already there and I just didn't notice. They're hard to notice in the gray stage, but once they're brown it's very apparent. Now I kinda regret that I flushed it today. Anyway, I do have one more question. In my week 5 post that I just uploaded I took a picture of some "soggy" lower leaves that sag and eventually dry up. Is this just natural defoliation or a sign of something else? Thanks again!

Great looking grow! I am growing the same strain from seedsman, and the pics you listed in week 2 look just like what's on my plant. It's my first time growing this strain, maybe something in the genetics? Either way, I'm around day 40 with it now, and it's looking healthy, but same weird coloration on the leaves this whole time.
