yup.... this one initially looked like "splash burn to me" but upon closer inspection I do see the creeping def...

epsom salts and bab cereal may help you mate... a touch oif dolomitic lime would help also...

1 tsp per gal for epsom

maybe 1/4 tsp of dolomitic lime in the next watering... dont wanna through the ph out.

baby cereal could throw in a few teaspoons... get the DHA stuff if you get it.

of course... theres always cal/mag nutes

this guy knows his stuff hes king

I initially thought it may be splash burn also, withregards to my soil ph I'm def going to buy a testing kit. When I do I'll post the results. So do you think it may be a mag/cal problem?
 
it may come just look out for spoting near bottem tips

have u got more shots of whole plant are any other leaves affected

As of yet this is the only leaf that is affected, it is the lowest leaf on the plant so that's why I though it may be splash burn... I'll pop over to the shop tomorrow and ask a couple of questions, I need to get the ingredients of the soil I'm using as I threw the packaging in the bin. The other La Diva and the 2 Speed Devils look very healthy though. The only lady with any problem is the one I have fed nutes to.

--- double post prevention ---

Communication is quite difficult in the shop at times as I live in France but I'm actually from Ireland. My french is quite good but my gardening lingo in french is quite limited. But I guess I'll be learning new words fast, on AFN in english and down the road in French!!! Haha
 
Small photo update of my sweethearts.
Quick look at my Red Dwarf to the right, just a little sprout in an 11litre pot under a 125cfl vegetative light IMG_0443.jpg
This is a photo of my La Diva (25 days old) which has been in the flowering tent a couple of days now, since June the 28th to be exact. She is 23cm in height now meaning she has grown a steady 9cm since the 25th of June. Sweet.

IMG_0444.jpg Heres a shot from the side of the La Diva, I have been using the fan leaf tucking technique and I think it's working, the bud spots to the feft and right sprouted out towards the light when I tucked away the large fan leaves above them. Nice. This is my baby from the posts above concerning possible Nute Burn or Mag/cal problems.

IMG_0445.jpg IMG_0446.jpg Two more pics here of one of the speed devils, shes spreading out nicely and I'm trying to do a bit of tucking at the moment, she's still a bit young though.

So I'm heading off tomorrow until the 7th of July, can't wait to see how they look when I get back. Have a nice weekend everybody.
 
lookin legit homie.. wish i had the tools to cut wood to my likings... but i dont, so i just modify my cases... but hell yeah bro.. your setup def looks to be suffecient...
 
yeah sweet as bro shes lookin great
 
Quick photo update, just back from a couple of days away and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. No mag/cal problems or nute burn with any of my 2 La Diva's. I think t must have been splash burn, they won't be getting any nutes for now. The two speed devils are coming on nicely, haven't fed them yet and they are still in the veg box but seem to be doing nicely. My Red Dwarf seems to be taking its time though, but it's early days yet. Anyway here are some photos of the progress. The largest La Diva has grown 9cm in 5 days!!! Woop woop.

Anyway thats all for now, will continue to update this thread as I go along. So far so god, not bad for my first grow.

Not alot of comments on here lately but I'll continue posting all the same.

Keep it green, peace.
 
Plants are looking really good man. Glad to hear it was just nute splash - as you continue to grow and the plants get higher (they look about 12-14" now) have you considered adding some side lighting? Just some 13W CFLs or so, because as they get progressively taller the penetration from the one CFL won't be sufficient to give you good dense buds at the bottom of the plant. How's staying away from the post office going for the seeds? :P

Alright whatsgoodie, good to hear from you again. You got it right the largest La Diva is 12.6" now. I bought a second 200w CFL that has already been set up and wired on the left side of the grow tent but I haven't turned it on yet, but I'll definately be doing that tomorrow evening. Will probably rotate each plant 180° each day once I get that second burning. Hope that does it.

Haha, I haven't been to the post office at all since that time, in fact I didn't bother collecting the package that came, was just too paranoid. I'm going to pick up some seeds in London this September and breed from there on as you suggested. I realise now it makes much more sense.

Anyway, good to hear from you. Do you have anything growing at the moment?
