perhaps a calcium deficiency

tell us more about the medium the plants are in, the food you've been giving lately, and generally about the setup and the plants

10 gallon pots
FFOF soil
Started tigerbloom first day of pistils
Started at 1 teaspoon per gallon
6 weeks into flower and I'm up to 1 tablespoon per gal every 3Ed watering which is every 3rd day (it's hot here)
It has been going to 65 at night time and 95 during the day
I mist plants a few times a day
Spinosad every 7 days
1 tablespoon molasses per gal every 7 days

If it turns out to be a disease, plants are trash right?

Hi,

Wish i was there to see it close up to be sure. I am not sure if it is a disease but it looks nutrient related to me.

Based on your plant's leaf burn tips and color there seems to be a lock up of nutrients in your plant. If you are early in flowering it could be (P) Phosperous or based on the leaf tips it looks like antagonism between (K) Potassium and (MG) Magnesium could be your culprit. If you could post some more information would be great.

Plants in the end of their life cycle require more K than anything else and can be displaced by other nutrients like in molasses can sometime indirect misplace other nutrients. That is why organic growers usually replace it with honey and sugar instead of molasses. I had a similar problem because of molasses once.

Here is a chart to see how nutrients affect uptake and block other nutrients

Maybe this guide would help you.

It has various pictures of different nutrient associated problem. Hope this helps

Bless; love and gratitude :leaf:

I will have much closer and cleaner pictures a little later when the wife gets home. I'm 1/2 way between passing a kidney stone right now so assuming my pain takes a break later, I'll have much better pictures.

I'm praying it's not some horrible disease. First grow ever and man they have been great looking this far.

Check my earlier post bro, i edited it. It should help. It is not a disease, I am sure of that. Looked up the most common ones that you would get.

Ok. I'm going to get better pictures tomorrow. Please if anyone doesn't mind hanging around and checking back tomorrow that would rock. If it is a lockout of some kind, I will still have a harvest right? I've put so much time into these and the past week has been a real bitch with whiteflies and mites. Thank god there hasn't been any butterflies.

Now that you mention it, this started the day after I did a molasses treatment. Then 3 days later, it looks to have affected all my plants.

don't worry. most growers have some problems with their grow, the plant is tough, even with these problems you can still get a good yield. what is hurting your yield more IMO is your temps - 95 is way too high.

Yea I think its def nutrients with th ffof along with the bloom n molasses. More than likely an issue wit micronutrients. Cant sre pics gud but if yhey are crispy brown spots this may be the case as I used tigr bloom in conjuction wit molasse and it progressed from the bottom. If they r in pots flushin them then I would feed again. If its in the ground I really cant tell u much but to use str8 water.

Ok I figured it out I think. I mist my plants 2-3 times daily in the sun. Nothing ever happens bad and plants have always looked amazing. For the first time I used dawn dish soap with it to control whiteflies. End of story. I burned them with the soap. Lesson learned. Unless someone thinks otherwise.
