New Grower First grow: MI5 :D

I think the brown spots are from to much H-2-O, not enough O-2. I never let my plants completely dry out though. These autoflower plants grow to fast to recover from stress, so if u let them dry out to much, it will stress them out; and the outcome will decrease your yield by at least 10% maybe even 20%. Also to much water can bring on Fungus Knats, these little fuckers will break you off something nasty!!! They eat the fungus in your medium around your roots and even eat your roots (which scars the roots), and when they are done eating that they will go and eat your foliage, in which can cause those brown spots.... By the time you start seeing spots on your green, the bugs that could have caused these spots are long gone dead and reproduced more offspring; so-on and so forth... your MJ does look pretty nice though.

Good Luck and Happy Growing :thumbs:

I'm sorry, but your information on fungus gnats is incorrect. The larva feed on algae and fungus in the root zone. The damage can come if they don't get enough to eat, they go for the roots. The adults do not feed or bite at all. Fungus gnats do not feed on the foliage, ever.

Looks like those spots could be the start of a P deficiency. So the first question, as always, is what's your pH? If it's off it could be locking out the P. Certainly not fungus gnats. If it was you would see them flying around your plants and landing on the soil to lay their eggs and I'm sure you would have mentioned that.

cool ok, well could be a defficiency coz i havent fed them since last monday (they dont seem to wana drink too much).
watering with pH 5.8-6 and runoff is 6.2-6.4 so that seems ok? was gona give them a heavier feed + water today but do you think i should flush instead?

checked this morning and bottom fan leaves are deffinitly looking very unhealthy :/ is this the same issue or something else entirely??



And yeah it doesnt look like fungus gnats havent seen any and seems like the kind of thing id notice.

jus given a good watering with 3ml/l bloom and 1.5ml/l grow and about about 3mll/ molasses. hopefully itl do the trick as have noticed quite a few more yellow leaves and brown/orange bits

 

[Muddy]

Looks like you pH might be a bit high if you're going in lower and coming out higher, but it doesn't look too bad, certainly not bad enough to cause a lockout. See how they do with this last feed. It does look like the start of a P deficiency so the bloom nutes should help. A little extra cal/mag may probably wouldn't hurt at this point as well.

I'm with Muddy and Iggidybiggidy... on this...

 

[IggidyBiggidy]

okie doke, added some ground egg shells in water so this should help soon with the calcium, hopefully molasses has enough mag to sort them out? anything else i could do to add more?

 

[IggidyBiggidy]

ok so definitely got another problem here, bottom leaves are all going yellow and dying.. they got wierd brown bits on too. seems like its started on the very first set of leaves and is working its way up.

looks a bit like pics of N deficiency, only watered a couple of days ago so cant do another feed yet really, also the affected leaves aren't getting much light down there so maybe that's it? any ideas??



and one just coz its looks cool

 

[IggidyBiggidy]

the fan leaves problem is looking worse already and am noticing some other different kind of brown spots, looks like a dark browny kinda colour and has already caused acouple of new leaves near the buds to fall off
any help?
