28/05 again no apparent min dip. memory max is again reading 'hi', can't figure out what's happening. tent readings have been hitting 24+ the last couple of days before lights out. mixed the remaining ~650mls of 1/3rd strength distilled w the ~650mls of tap & honey and added ~6.75mls grow juice (ie. full strength & brings the overall feed solution to ~2/3rd strength). substrate almost dry n fed ~200mls between both following lights on, will keep an eye on how they respond but get the feeling they can handle the upped dose n can straight water w distilled soon. have just over a litre which will last at least a few feeds.
29/05 bit cooler overnight, still hardly a dip. mild day temps continue, 4th max of 17/18 in a row and similar stable readings ~22/23 for most of lights on. headed away for the weekend, feeding again although still damp, ~200mls between again.
31/05 looks like mild temps have continued while away. substrate dry & fed following lights on, ~250mls between. pics to follow tomorrow
01/06 pics uploaded, both have spots. bit concerning especially since i'd like to fim shortly and they're growing/looking so healthy otherwise. didn't notice under the light last night at feeding. see qu & answers below - will avoid wetting leaves at all n really hope it ain't anything bad... bumped the light up ~5cm to maintain height, oscillating fan & ghetto exhaust are now running, along w cold front this morn for first day o winter (rain & daytime max 11) tent cooled down over lights on, settling to 17 before lights off. turned off oscillating fan & exhaust cause reading around 12 for majority of lights out - hoping the substrate is being kept comparatively stable cause this is what most 12/12 will be like in winter w lights off during day. keeping an eye on noticeable plant/enviro changes to reflect in next week diary (forecast coolest daytime maxes yet).
02/06 exhaust still off to conserve heat & tent reading 20. powered on oscillating fan & now reading stable 19. w daytime max 15 tent got back to 20 & fed prior to lights out, again around ~250mls between. only 300 left of this feed. lights off reading around 15, min 14 before on again.
03/06 tent stable ~20, dip to 19 early hrs. end week heights are 10cm for bs and 9cm ls. balance is off a bit on the pics uploaded, and pictures aren't doing their colour justice regardless. other than the spotting they're beauties and lush green. ls has been slightly more than her sis, likely the additional low strength feed a week + ago

Did u water well the lights were on? Potentially get any on those leaves? Water on the leaves during lights on can cause burning from the grow light being magnified. All areas affected look like potential leaves to get watered/splashed on.

Black or blueish patches on leaves (specially bottom ones first) are a first symptom of phosphorous deficiency, which is very common in the flowering stage, it means you need to up the flower nutes. Also I have to mention that it can also happen due ph been out of range and since you don't post pH values, I have to assume that you are not measuring and adjusting it, meaning it could be a reason for the issue you are having. Whatever the cause, the patches will start to look necrotic and if not solved, the issue will continue, severely affected leaves will develop dark metallic purple color patches, will also curl, wither and drop, as the plant takes the phosphorous out of the bottom leaves to try to power the bud formation.
urbanbudstarted grow question 4 years ago
hey growbuds, approaching harvest and after experience/advice on what this green sprout on one bud is?? seeds suggest 9-10wks flower and they're just hitting end of 9, is she on the cusp of going too long in bloom? things have been cruisey so no clue what else it could be. cheerz

These are male pollen sacs, not a good thing, your plant is starting to hermie. One of the biggest worries with a hermie (a plant with both female and male parts) is that the pollen sacs will burst and pollinate your flowers. This will "seed" your buds. In other words, this will cause your buds to start focusing on producing seeds. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".

@Maggie_de_Block, hey mate. hard for me to say as i haven't topped before, what i can say is that i'm happy with the results i got with fim'ing which i went with for 2 main reasons. 1. potential for 4 points of new growth and 2. slightly less stress as the butchered growth heals and continues to grow and the half leaves do their plant thang producing energy rather than losing all of it. seems overall tho that both techniques are equally utilised by experienced growers and many go for a combination of both. more important to just do em more than one being more effective than the other :)

Water spots are always a possibility too. On my 19 day old auto, it has a little bit of damage from light bleaching, water splash, and a fungal infection that was there probably before it sprouted and was introduced by contamination from my humidifier. Its hard to tell what damage is from which, except I learned from my first grow to be careful when watering (but its still easy to splash a leaf) and that if I did get any on a leaf, to kill the light until the plant dries so it doesn't become scorched through. Once it begins pre-flower, I'll switch from 24/0 to 18/6 since this strain gets picky about heat in flower and I don't have A/C.
I think Cal Mag is almost universally used even in soil (you might find some super soil users who don't need it). And I think every big nutrient company has a Cal Mag supplement. I didn't use it last grow and had major deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, and iron well before the end (they began around week 5). I think you burn a lot up in veg as calcium is needed by plants to develop healthy stems and leaves just as we need it to form teeth and bones.
A magnesium deficiency can take over 5 weeks to show symptoms and will often go with a calcium deficiency, but it has distinct signs of its own. At any rate, if you check the label of whatever your nutes are and compare it to what's in Cal Mag, you'll see its near universal (you probably don't have much of either in it and I doubt its in your soil unless its organic).
I like to keep it simple but I don't think you can dodge adding it, whether you buy it or make your own (its as simple as things like epsom salts for magnesium but I still preferred to just buy it once and be done with it).

@Spyder7, all about keeping it simple here too but yeah i'll be headed out to get a small bit in case more are spotting up over the coming week. sensi cal mag xtra looks like a locally available product. bloody hoping it's not a fungus/disease, but it is just getting into winter here so things are more ofter than not damp outside around this outdoor tent
