Strange spots on sugar leaves (6 weeks into flowering white widow)

First time growing feminized photos. Have 1 Blue Dream and 1 white widow. Both topped twice. Coco medium in 7gal fabric pots with 2 1000 amazon blurple leds. Been using humboldts notes (A + B, root enzyme and flower stacker).

They're at 6 weeks into flowering. I just noticed these weird spots, see pic. Can anyone tell me what it is and how I'm doing as well? Had 2 previous crops of autoflowers, but things seem to be going great!

The only time I've seen something similar to that is from feed/water splashing on the leaves. Is it only on the one bud? If it is then I wouldn't worry too much.

They look very frosty! Few brown hairs. Should be ready in 3 weeks or so.

Yea, just the one. I'm still a little on edge from getting bud rot in my last crop. Yep, at least 3 more weeks is exactly what I was thinking. I like picking when trics are mostly milky with a few turning amber.

Oh BTW, this might be obvious, but the shorter one is the WW and the taller sativa looking one is the blue dream.

Bud rot is such a horrible learning curve. The way I learned to deal with it was to commit to pulling the plants early if there is either high humidity I can't do anything about (I have a dehumidifier but sometimes even that doesn't get it low enough), or a plant with necrosis on its leaves.

Try not to have your harvest time set in stone, if you've got high humidity then look to chop at 50% cloudy in my opinion (or get something that will drop the humidity significantly).

I don't think that spot on the sugar leaf that you posted the thread for is anything to worry about. Maybe snip off the affected part (but it wouldn't be a disaster to leave it on).

Oooh I see now. I knew what Bigby meant, no need for correction. When I read shit, my brain auto corrects irregardless of what's typed.

Did that on purpose, I know it's just "regardless" 8-);-)

Glad to hear I'm just paranoid and nothings wrong. Humidity is much better for this crop and I have an oscillating fan in my tent. I made a huge mistake with not running a fan for the last crop with the budrot.

Sounds like you're learning, and that's all we can do. I wouldn't say you're being paranoid - just conscientious because you don't want to repeat your mistake.

And thanks man - not used to pedantry on a weed forum. He must be out of herb!

i wouldn't worry about it at this point, they're almost done and look pretty healthy over all. it still looks like ph damage to me, you might want to recalibrate your ph meter, or get a better one.

Funny, the white widow must be more sensitive than the blue dream I have in the same tent which is fed with the same water and nutes.

i'm not 100% guaranteeing that that is ph swing damage, but it sure looks like it to me. i don't know of anything else that causes damage that looks like that in a random seeming pattern. some strains are more delicate than others.
