in soil, you definitely want to let to get very dry between waterings. if the bottoms of the pots are still wet, wait. stick a finger in one of the holes in the bottom, if it feels beyond mildly damp, wait another day.overwatering isn't usually too much water at once, it's too much water too often. a little too much water each time is actually a good idea, it washes out old used salt and debris, and helps keep the roots healthy.
just let it dry out good between each time.

What should you do if you use smart pots should you just cut a little slit in the bottom so you can test It?

I'm going to wait an extra day or two between watering. I think it will help. I have 30% run off with each watering and use nutes every other watering. Is that good enough or should I be doing nute.. nute... water?

So I went back in a more dots were forming... i was thinking it could have been a mold issue or Sephora. It's so hard to tell especially with little experience in diagnosing leaf issues. So I plucked quite a few of the leaves with the most damage. At this point it's the only plant with the issue witch is good.

Do I give it less nutes? Do I give it more nutes?? Am I giving it the wrong nutes? So many questions and I'm trying to be patient and test the theorys without over watering or shocking. Def glad I have 3 more healthy plants. It's also why I don't recommend growing just one plant. Cuz if you loose it your finished..

It looks like mold to me. Spray with ro water. That should do the trick.

I have no way to get ro water.. will hydrogen peroxide work? Why would that be the only plant to get it? And then when I pick the leaves that are damaged new spots apear pretty quickly.

I really don't think that's what it is but I could be wrong

it's not mold, but it is possible it's a fungus of some kind. i'm not sure what ro water is supposed to do to mold? chlorinated tap water would be more effective on mold than ro water..... it couldn't hurt to spray a weak h2o2 solution, if all you can get is the 3% stuff from the store, use ten ml in a quart spray bottle. spray it right on the spots and see if it has any effect, any bubbling or fizzing. if it does, then it probably is a fungus, and a couple of applications should kill it off. if it doesn't seem to be doing anything much, then it's more than likely not a fungus, and another thing is ruled out.

Seems like a legit way to rule out a fungus.. that's something I wouldn't mind trying considering it wouldn't be much risk if it proves not to be fungus. The buds smell nice and fruity.. actually all my plants smell fruity so it must be a thing that they go through I'm guessing...

I'll def try it... thanks Roger.

You can use hydrogen peroxide for sure. I had a second look at the last pic and I was mistaken. I was thinking PM but it's not. I don't think it's fungus or mold but I could be wrong.

I was lead to believe ro water has a high ph and that it kills PM. There's no cure for PM but with regular spraying you can keep it at bay.

Only problem I've had so far is this didn't know if it was mold or a deficiency 20180715_065358.jpg
I upped cal/mag to 5ml and did a 50/50mix of 3% h2o2 and sprayed leafs down then gently wiped them off (used lots of paper towel) changing paper towel every few leafs and changed gloves between plants.

looks like very slight mag deficiency, upping your cal mag ought to help. if you don't want the extra N id try a weekly foliar with epsom salts, should be able to cut back on the cal mag then and not get too much N

RO water is usually 6.2 to 6.8 pH but has no buffer to speak of, anything that affects pH will make it swing hard in that direction, very easy to influence pH in RO.

you don't have to stick your finger in the bottom, i was just trying to impress how important it is to let them dry out well between waterings
