Another big growth week. Flowering actually started last week, but I am calling this the first full week of flowering. I have now switched to FloraNova Bloom and eliminated Grow after transitioning last week. I am now watering every 2 days. In one case, I waited 3-4 days and the plants were drooping badly. They sprung back to life after a good feeding. Still running lights on 18/6 and doing LST when possible. Thanks for everyone for answering questions and leaving comments. All of the input and feedback is very helpful for this first timer!

I am trying to determine the cause of damage to a few leaves that was observed this week. It may be two different problems. On a few leaves, I see brown spots which may have originally been white. On another 2 leaves, I see a burn hole through the leaves with brown edges.

Asking for thoughts on leaf damage. I think there may be nutrient shock so I will be reducing PPM to 800 to see if that helps. I am confused by other problems seen on a few leaves. I also want to ask if I am getting close to harvest (check flower pics) since this is an autoflower

hey bro, The Damage seems to be only on couple of leaves ryt? or is it Systematically distributed ? the first one seems like light burn the other pictures , if it is only on couple of leaves it could be the leaves that were damaged ,and now repaired ( do nothing) if it is Systematically distributed ( new leaves or old leaves) ,you are looking at early stage of Potassium Deficiency probably ( add more ) you must know . They are more senestive at Flowering stage ,so be careful when you add new nut. to them ,and problems in the flowering stage will effect your yield at the end and one last note , your plants are too green ,which means you are giving them too much nitrogen ( or it couold be Genetic sometimes) ,you can compare the green color with last weeks ,if it is darker, it means too much nitrogen, if it is the same, then u dont have to change anything i hope this helps u ,happy growing :D

@BDD_RJP, Thanks for the comments. I’m going to alternate between feeding and water only this week to see if that helps. I have been feeding every 2-3 days as the girls have been thirsty for past 10-14 days.

Auto's r very sensitive, u can burn w/ nutrients very easily. In that aspect they are not as strong pheno's that r full term. They r looking good though....

Thank you all for your answers. I think for the rest of this week I will do only ph’D water and try to clean things out a bit, then go back to nutes for Sunday feeding. Do you recommend that I still add Calmag to the nute mix or should I stop doing that at this stage? Another possible contributing factor- I’ve been reading that most do one nute feeding and then a water only feeding and keep that rotation. I’ve been adding nutes at every feeding and never do water only. I will also try doing a nute/water rotation since they need attention every 48-72 hours and see if that helps. Definitely learning as I go on this first grow!

I might have figured out the spots - during early veg, I got into a habit of misting the plants with Superthrive and they loved it. As flowering began, they seem to be much more sensitive to Superthrive and I have stopped that practice. The day the spots showed up very noticeably, I had given them a good spray the night before. I think the spots were the Superthrive drops that spent some time on the leaves. No way to confirm, but this is my best guess. Please comment with any thoughts or advice, and thanks for the advice and comments so far!
