Oi, so I have been watering with 2-1-2, foliar feeding with an incredibly diluted blend, and the soil is in foxfarm ocean forest as of two weeks ago. Plants are three weeks old.

Check this shit out, popped up today.

The plant was sitting next to my homemade co2 enrichment jug if that could be the problem, maybe some shit shot out of it. Tried to wash it off with basic water. Thanks for your help guys.

thats a tricky problem, sometimes those spots come on old leaves just because. Maybe you got a deeper problem, let me know how much and how often you have been watering them. Also id suggest to stop foliar feeding for now. Is that rust thing spreading fast to newer leaves or just stays where its been? any info on what you've given them and your environment would be great.

its interstellar crack dust.... just kidding its either nitrogen def. or calcium def. looks like calcium but that usually happens towards the ends of the leafs. i would say calcium deficient if anything

i water them about every three days with a 2-1-2 fertilizer diluted to about one tsp per gallon. my enviroment stays at about 78 degrees with my 400w hps on 24/24. The plants are in foxfarm ocean forest.

the spots are spreading pretty quick. it started on the bottom fan leaves and have moved to the top. it looks like its eating away at the leaves. i dont think its a nutrient deficiency because the plants are all the same age and i feed them consistenly.

shit. should i isolate the plant just in case its some type of fungus? i can keep it under a cfl for the meantime outside me closet. heres a link to my journal in case you wanna see whatsup with my setup more. thanks for the help dudes.

loosk easy to me-ph issue causing lockouts of nutrients and faster absorbtion of nitrogen. dont think the plants should be that dark evergreen.
ph for soil 6.8-what are you feeding with and what is runoff for ph?

hmm. ill snag a ph tester as soon as i can. would nutrient lockout happen from a really fucked up transplant that lost a good deal of the root system...? because that definitely happened

the plants would get stunted if what you described happend to the roots. but it looks like a ph problem. what soil are you using?

yea that last pics u posted looks like ph problems causing the nute lock flush it with ph'd water and dont feed nutes for a week
 
invest in a ph meter,definitely looks like a magnesium deficiency probably caused by nutrient lock when the ph is wrong for the medium you are growing in.
check instructions on your medium & nutrient manufacturer`s containers or web site.

okay, so i flush the plant with a couple liters of water. then let it be for a week. just straight water when i feed it. then get it back on a nutrient cycle and use tiger bloom? sound good? ive never had this problem before, its all new to me.

Just found out my local tap water has a high pH. Got some ph down and put about a 1/4 tsp per liter of water. flushed it with three liters. Hopefully i will see some improvements from now on.

thanks dude

to me, personally, it looks like a possible mg deficiency, Magnesium def, could be the problem. if i were you i would go out n pick up a thing of EPSOM SALT, and try giving them a light foliar feed, n a light watering. Use 1 tbs per gallon, and just give it a test run, to see if thats the case. do both foliar and a watering, and see if it stops spreading. The leaves that are already damaged wont recover, but it will stop spreading and get healthy again if that is in fact the case. I just got done with a HARD case of Mg def, and i fixed it with epsoms, but ended up gettin calmag too. But epsoms is what saved it from spreading everywhere and becoming a rEAL problem. Give it a shot, it wont hurt the plant, so you really got nothin to lose, only gain bro. I hope that helped.

That looks like a ph problem. Check the possible sources...your water..your nutrients..your soil. Most likely it is your wate source and your nutrient cocktail. It takes self training but always check your pH prior to introduction of water and nutrients. I would not think your soil is the culprit because I use the same soil and it has always been pH balanced for cannabis. best of luck.

Just ordered a nice digital ph tester offline. That should help me get a hang of tweaking nutrients and soil to keep it near 6. That litmus test shit is just to ambigious to work for me.

The plants are doing okay, I removed the dead leaves from the plant. Crushed em up and spread em over the soil. Why not right. Going to try kingspades emspom salt suggestion tonight. We shall see brothas..
