UPDATE
Hey guys, just been to my garden and foliar sprayed with 2.5ml alg-a-mic per liter and after that I used Bio LeafCoat.. I noticed more ''rust'' dots on my smallest plant.. it is showing on about 2-3 small rust dots in the size of a pin-head on each leaf on the first and second sets of leaves.. shows on 1 higher leaf aswell.. the other two plants have much less rust spots and seems to be better with them.. I raised the lights to 70cm to induce A stretch... will take a look when I wake up and finnally show you guys the pics.

Cheers!

Questions in mind:
1. is 70cm is a good starting height to cause a stretch using a 400w MH?.. what height would you personally use.
2. can the rust dots on my fan leafs might be caused from something else other than Cal\Mag?
3. what is the proper pH for auto's using foliar spraying.
4. what is the proper pH for auto's for watering in a light-mix soil medium.

Sincerely with alot of appreciation for all the help given to me by this amazing community..

Yours always.

I this what you are seeing?

If so, then it's a calcium deficiency for sure. Again I would highly recommend you get a proper cal/mag supplement. The amount of calcium in that foliar spray was pretty low.

The pH for your foliar spray should be the same as your soil, around 6.2 - 6.5. Also, when you foliar spray, make sure you get the underside of the leaves as well.

70 cm would be what, about 28"? Might be a little too high. How far apart are your nodes?

That picture you have up is what I always thought was magnesium deficiancy. Of course I always treated it with a cal/mag supplement and it always went away further reinforcing my dillusions.

Oh well love and learn only prooving you can teach this old dog new tricks.

Calcium and magnesium deficiencies seem to go hand in hand, so treating for one or the other usually helps them both.

Hey Muddy! thanks for the quick reply, was wonderin' when you were goin' to chime in.. well.. What height is better for stretching inch-wise or cm-wise.. my nods are preety tight.. on all three plants some leaves touch the soil... and density between branches is rediculess.. ^^ if to refer to the lumen table 27inchs might be close to 1650lumen for the canopy using my 400mh .. hmm.. what amount of lumens is good for stretching than.. should i stretch them or just let them be and give them as much lumens as I can without frying them..

Picture update... at last.. will be high later on and upload all the pics i got in a single post with days of each pic to show progres... one of the pic here shows the smallest plant with the small ''rusting'' problem.


edit: check pic 1 and 4 for the yellowing.

It's hard to put an exact number on how high to set it. Just watch the nodes and if too close, raise, too stretched, lower. The first 4-6 nodes are usually tighter than the rest. It's really from about week 4 through 6 that they do most of their vertical growth, often as much as an inch a day.

Picture 4 with the yellow tips and down turned leaf ends is nute burn from over feeding. Hard to see enough detail in pic 1 but if it looks like the one I posted earlier, then it's also cal/mag. I would give them a flush, check the pH and then feed them some cal/mag.

UPDATE:

Got pistils at last out of 2 plants.. third is still undetermined... emm.. leaves looked droopy and some rusting became more visible on the smallest plant.. aswell on some fan leafs of her bigger sisters. did another foliar feed of 2.5ML Alg-A-Mic for 0.5L of aerated water.. phed to 6.3.... hmm... hope this helps.. leafs looked droopy also.. gonna water in the morning.

more leaves seem to be afftected by the mysterious defeciency.. just watered with 6.3-6.4pH'ed water with 1ml BioGrow 1ml BioBloom 1ml Alg-A-Mic and 2ml BioHeaven.. each plant got about 1.7L of the water... also foliar sprayed with pH'ed water and checked the runoff of the containers which was around 6.5 to 6.66... is that decent? on sunday [can it be too late?] ill go and find that damn cal mag and feed............... pics of the deficiency will be uploaded shortly
