hey i love your avatar.. I got the boondocks on dvd!

foilage feeding is ok for a quick fix. I say thats what the yellow spots are on ur plant are. as for long term i wouldnt recommend. Also helps to keep dust of leaves and for insect prevention.

but overall plant looks ok. Not bad damage. But stop feeding by foilage. Only use as prevention and a "quick-fix".

yea, thats what I was thinking too...but its only that bad on one of them..I'd think since I give them a nice spray every day that all of them would have it if that were the case...but its only on that one, same thing about the miracle gro, I'd say its the cause, but its only on that one plant.

it looks bright green in that picture, its actually pretty beautiful, my sixth sense is tellin me its gonna be a male tho, but i dont care, its gonna be crossed with that mother in the background thats revegging right now, and Im gonna hae some great looking offspring from them..

damn it damn it damn it! today just isnt my day! now my HPS wont start wtf is going on?! maybe someone can help me with this too.. I know when U turn it on at first it dont start up. it needs time to warm up, but the bulb usually flickers until it stabilizes, my bulb wont do anything, and all I hear is a loud "BUzzzzzz" coming from my ballast..wtf is that about?! I feel like throwin this shit ou the fucking window.

it sounds like you need to order some new bulbs. mine did this to me last time. especially if you're using the same bulb that came with the ballast and reflector. is usually doesnt last as long as they say. i buy like 2 bulbs at once, just in case.

ohhh, sorry to hear that mate, god dam.

yeah, like courtcourt said always get atleast 1 extra bulb, or, well u see what happens. i feel for u bro

Hope u get the problem fixed buddie....

PS ur plants are looking ggod too. If spots only on one dont worry about it, thats nothing.

Leaf spots may be from foliar feeding with the lights on bright. You may be experiencing "lensing" which is caused by drops of water on a leaf and hot lights burning the leaves like a magnifying glass and sunshine. Plus, how "hot" are you mixing your nutes in the foliar spray? When plants are young, you have to be careful not to burn them this way. As plants grow, foliar feeding is good but not too often. Like once a week or so and weak solution of nutes. Hope you get a good seed stash out of your future nuptials with the boys and girls. If the spots were different I would be concerned about bugs like thrips or mites but it looks like nute or sun burn spots.

Thanks a lot, yeah I was still using the one that came with the system, I couldnt understand why they would make something that would work for two days and then make U buy a new one, but from what ur saying its not uncommon for the stock bulb to shit out after a short period...since its only a 70w HPS the bulbs are only like $10-15 each so I probably will pick up a few of them when I go out.

Im just spraying them with water from my dehumidifier, its the proper pH and rich in Nitrogen and Phosphorous... I didnt add any nutes or anything to it so maybe foliage feeding was the wrong term...sorry, I shoulda said "spraying" in the original post. I did give them their first feeding a few days ago, I would say it was too strong, but like I said its only on this one so..i dunno. I wont panic until it gets really bad.

thanks for all the responses and so quickly.

+rep to all of you.

did u get regoing after ur hps problem???

those pics are nice u have. i had the second set of leaves droop too. I think its overwatering.
