It's on pretty much all the larger fan leaves of the short Ryder. I watered it with some organic blackstrap molasses if it's cal mag related and in case it's a phosphorus issue I added this organic product that should feed instantly 20160923_200516.jpg

If anyone is absolutely convinced that it is a fungus then please chime in so I can take action asap. The blue mystic and one of the GDP have some slight rust spots on a few leaves also but nothing like the short Ryder.

It'd help if you took some photos with your hps switched off. You can't get a true feeling for what your plants actually look like with all that orange light

I don't think that it's fungus. It's a deficiency of some sort. It's showing evidence of maybe calcium deficiency, but that could be caused by an overabundance of something else. I know from experience that there is a delicate balance between, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Finding the sweet spot can be difficult, especially with organic materials. I usually try to correct the situation with foliar sprays and I am often successful, but once they are past the third week of flower I only spray the leaves and try to keep the excess moisture off the buds...a difficult operation. Good luck!

My leaves are doing this too, at first I didn't think much of it. It looks like it's def. a Calcium AND Magnesium deficiency issue. I've been foliar feeding with Epsom while waiting till more then likely Monday night for my Cal-Mag bottle to get here.

This is the problem with supersoil, too many ingredients. I've just been reviewing your recipe and Although you don't quantify each ingredient, you've got 3 direct sources of calcium and 2 of magnesium. I'd say your phosphorus is being locked out by excessive cal. What's the ph of your soil like?

I don't know my soil ph. I only have the drop test for liquid. And I did figure it would have been very hard to be a cal mag issue because yes there is alot of both in my ingredients

What in your opinion could I do besides flush that could help? Will I have to check ph and adjust?

I could well be wrong, best thing to do IMO, is give em a compost tea (AACT) next watering, it's my 'go to' remedy for sick plants. I'd topdress some high P guano, kelp and some neem if you got it, mix it into the mulch and then water with the AACT.

Will do. Thank you for the advise. I kinda think my soil is not very strong of a mix. I got that assumption when the alfalfa seeds in my alfalfa hay started sprouting in it with no problem at all once I mulched with it
