Is this normal when you feed or water your plant? Heeelllp!

So my plant is about 2.5 weeks into flowering, whenever I add nutes to it .. it gets a few either yellow sploches or brwon splotches on the fan leaves.. now its not like its totally covering the plant.. it seems to happen to about 4-5 leaves on the entire plant.. and it only effects a portion of the leaf then after about 12 hours it sems to be okay.. spots are still there but its not spreading. at first it looks like lack of nitrogen and phosperous.. but i'm not sure its that.

is this normal?

anyway i water every 4-5 days i'm about to start blackstrap molasses in the water.. then i feed with blooming nutes(age old 5-10-2) every other water..
I tihnik i have it on a good schedule so i'm not sure what it is.. maybe once I start the blackstrap it will help?

brown spots? n yellow? if its dead crunchy spots then id say phosphorous and potassium, fert em some more, i like to use bloom busters every 3 days w/ watering

also when u fert it takes like 3 days or so to effect, so wait 3 days to see if ur not burnin the tips then its lovin it, also it wont cure th affected areas, it will just keep it from spreading to leaves. if its not dead crunchy spots id say Magnesium deficiency. also with the Bloom busters i use 1/2 strength n work up

yeah I think i need to add the Molasses... i wanted to wait til i did my next water.. i did a full dose of the 5-10-2 saturday morning.... the black strap has 600 mg of potassium per tablespoon so that should do it.

thanks for your input

hows she comin along?

Hey there! lets see what date was this.. okay so I added the Molassses and it got worse.. basically I added to many nutes it totally locked out. PLUS i did have some of my lights a little too close

so here is what I did..

after I added the Molasses I waited about 3-4 days until the soil dried out and I basically just watered it with straight water. 2 days later the buds started growing again(Fast) the spots and stuff didn't spread... basically what I was doing was feeding it too much... I was doing it twice a week, every 3rd water, but the soil has beeb drying out every 3 days. so my schedule is now Feed-water-molasses-water-water-feed

here is a recent pic taken about 3 days ago

thanks! my buddie bought me a led grow board.. gonna add that and see what happens!

 

[z3r0_4_life]

yea i bet the extra lumens would help, u using CFLs? if so how many n how many watts

 

[zubey91]

yeah using CFL's ... I have 5 on the top... 2 on the sides.. and a tube as well on the sides.. all(except the tube) are 23w 2700 lumes I saw a 60 watt 2700 lumes I may go buy tomorrow.. and add that as well as the grow board.. although everyone is telling me the board i'm getting is shit.. but it won't hurt and its 100% red spectrum

I took more pics last night.. the buds are getting bigger.. i'll try to upload them tonight

I have a strip with like 15 outlets.. here is one of the cola's at 3.5 weeks of flowering.. I'd love to go HPS.. i just don't have the correct set up to do this grow.. i have to build an acutal grow box to use those.
