Hi this is my first grow and up until a few days ago things were super smooth. I have 9 plants all from random bag seeds all good herb just dont know what they are. Any ways 2 of them started showing little black spots about 3 weeks ago they have now turmed allmost all the leafs brown... See Pics. Then it started to spred to the rest of the plants... Can any one tell me whats up? I am using fox farms ocean floor soil, Big bloom, tiger bloom, and I used grow big for veg and in weeks 5 and 6 of flower. I have attached pics of all my plant, any help would be greatly apreciated...

i was thinking the same thing maybe to much nutrients , but in some pics it looks it could be a deffiecency, i would flush and stop adding additives only use just the flower nuts nothing more and see what happens

anyway nice job, next time try some bat guano for those phosphorus levels while flowering. should do a good job. those leaves that point down on the tips could be from too much of something you gave those ladies. looks like your not stupid, but remember too much or too little can hurt those lovely ladies. they look real nice, but that curling of the leaves and nutrients burn can affect flavor and taste of your smoke.... nice job keep up the good work and better luck next time.

oh remember to flush for two weeks. distilled water works excellent. and cheap too

were some of those close to being root bound?
im about done with my first grow and i wanted to do it a little differen't this next time by maybe doing 3 or 4 little plants in a closet room instead of one 5 footer

That's an overnute issue, with the blackening leaves. I had the exact same thing last year - just got too aggressive with the feeding. Good news is, you're so close to ready, it isn't going to hurt you much. Probably lost a little yield that you'll never notice, as healthy leaves can feed the bud growth right up to harvest.
If you haven't flushed, I would. I was able to arrest the process with a good flush, and even got some new growth afterward. But looks like you're basically home free. Enjoy!

I'd be amazed to find that you're rootbound with 3.5' plants in 3-gal bags. I had 5-6 footers in 2 gal pots last year -- the pots were fully occupied, but nowhere near root bound.
Be sure to check out your roots after you chop. It's good practice just to prove to yourself how much space they take up, their structure, etc.

I didnt think there was a way of checking if the plant is rootbound. What would it look like? I grew a almost 7 foot plant in a 3 gal. Harvested just shy of 4 oz dry. When i tried to pull the cut off stalk out of the container it just pulled the whole thing of soil out in the shape of the container. It basically was in a hard patty the shape of the container with roots everywhere, including the top millimetres of the soil the whole surface area.

Your plants look great! Excellent job. You might just want to do some hardcore flushing. By the looks of your plants.. they are almost ready to come down anyhow. Flush the crap out of them with fresh clean water and let them do the rest of the work. Once all your leaves start turning yellow, zing!

I thought with foxfarm soil you weren't supposed to use any nutrients while vegging for the first month as it would cause what the pictures describe but in an earlier stage as there is already all the nutrients you needed provided in the soil?
Either way my guess would be the same, over feeding them

I had black spots on lower leaves, it was caused by phos deficiency fyi. Never heard of nute burn causing black spots as a previous poster mentioned.

These plants don't have "black spots" - they've got pretty serious die-back in those leaves. Some plants don't take bloom foods very well; found that out the hard way..
