Have been growing for a couple yrs now for medical use. I started having issues during flowering once A/C is turned on. Every pic I look at looks different then mine to an extent. Leaves start getting rough spots the resemble sandpaper, then start to turn crispy on edges. I know it's not nute burn or a heat issue. Ph is always around 7 on run off. Using happyfrog soil. AN Ph perfect connoisseur. Also have not seen any pest/infestation in soil, no flying bug nothing.20150423_195446.jpg20150423_195147.jpg 20150423_195446.jpg 20150423_195147.jpg 20150423_195446.jpg 20150423_195147.jpg

Is the ac is blowing strait on the leaves? Do you have a osculating fan in there?

AC is a window ac installed towards the bottom of the room wall. I have one oscillating fan and a stationary one. The oscillating one is in front of fan about a foot, stationery is on floor. Looking at more pics today and reading more I think it might be a potassium problem. Just didn't think it was potassium because of how dark the leaves are it didn't look the same. But thinking about it it might be potassium. What do you think. Thanks for replying as well

I can tonight when light kicks on. Think this. Was right before issues tho but will upload a better pic tonight for sure
Ok when you take the pic try to do it just before the lights turn on. HID lights distort pics bad.

Not sure if you can tell in pic but leafs r hella dark green. One person at a local shop said it had nitrogen issues because of how dark green they are and another employee at same store said that dark green like they are is not bad at all. He actually said the opposite, so I read up more and read that the darker the better to an extent. But there is a lot of contradicting opinions out there. I just don't understand the changes since I have changed literally nothing in 2yrs other then keeping the heat down(I know that is a big thing tho) yesterday I was recommended and bought general hydroponics calimagic, armorSI and also humbolts county's own snow storm ultra

No correct statement ever began with "the guy at the hydro store said..."

I agree with whoever said it first, if they could grow worth a shit, they wouldn't have a job selling garden supplies....

I wanna say its atmospheric, between the 79f peaks and low humidity, mine freaked out this winter similarly, took me ages to realize that low humidity presents as nutrient deficiency... if ur confident the nutes are right, and the ph is good.... drop a humidifier (sonic, not steam) in there for a week, see what happens....

They arent just being wind-whipped right?

wind wipped is what i was thinking was wrong with his plants. If i turn my fan on high it does that to my afganna.

I like you statement about the hydro store guy lol.we have 2 in town sorta. One is true value who has a whole bud growing section but his suggestions/help changes every day even when same exact questions are asked lol. The other is a owner of a hydroponics store and grows/family does. He usually has pointed me in right direction or a good starting point to look at. Ph and nutes are good. Never heard of wind whip before so maybe that has some effect on them. Trying a couple different things and will watch over the next 3days to wk or so to see any changes. Will post follow up pics tonight without hps light on as well.

I wanna say sm-90 is more a wetting agent... i just use a few drops of dish soap for this....

Neem for preventative foliar spraying, azamax if I see a bug...

rotate azamax, and mighty wash, with neem if I see a real infestation, to prevent any tolerance buildup against my pesticides...

Im not above dropping a fog bomb on the room if the infestation proves difficult, and the plants are young, or scrappable.... i hate mites, lol.

It's not a infestation or bug issue I guess I could've said that lol. On my clones it looks like they might have a little mold. What I see is it looks like tricomes but solid white. And sorta spread out sporadically
