Those are tiny yellow spots they can be caused by water only if you are foliar spraying with the lights on, if not, they are a nice indicator that there are mites present. I'd use some neem oil just for the hell of it, wouldn't hurt none.

It's always better to use neem as a repellant and safeguard, then to wait to use it trust me.
Like he said, it can be caused by foilar feeding with your lights on.. drop of water causes a magnify effect from your light and burns your plants.

Going to Lowes to grab some in a bit......i dont use a sprayer, but i do water with teh lights on in the morning, an di KNOW that i got some water on some of the leaves, i was gonna clean them but the door bell rang....had to jet, forgot all about it till about an hour ago.

Im going to fix both, just in case. I moved lights up, wil ALWAYS dry leaves, and will go back and reinspect for mites, or anything NOT soil or cat hair><

Thanx guys<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

If you use neem make sure you do it right before lights off, I learned the hard way, my hindu kush is ruined now.

If you can, keep your pets out of you grow, if they go outside they can help pest ride piggyback straight into your room; plus when you pick up your next batch of plants take your 30x with you, DON'T TAKE NOBODY WORD THAT THEIR CLONES ARE DISEASE/PEST FREE. Spray or dip them in some neem before placing them in the grow.

my first thought would be that you have some pretty small pots for the amount of space it looks like your going for, I suggest the following:

1. 3-5 gallon pots, and water only every 3rd-5th day, I water thoroughly each time, your girls will need a little less cause they dont yet have much foliage.

2. I would lower the grid your growing them into, and weave the plants through the grid, forcing them to grow sideways like a trelace, this will maximize your use of space since you only have the two plants. and allow for the most evenly distributed light. start by just bending the main stem to the side with a twist tie.
I wouldnt "weave". Just poke them under and when the growing tip pops up....tuck it under again.

What's your pH? Sometimes that drooping "umbrella" look is a pH problem.

Good luck and thank you for serving. I sincerely hope MJ works for pain relief for you. I never heard of the strain...is it a sativa?

Also some other good info on neem. If you bought the concentrate bottle or whatever, the bottle of just neem that you mix with water you know?
make sure you mix it up fresh everytime you use it dont store it.
If you got the premixed organicide bullshit or whatever then it doesnt matter.
And if you got the concentrate one aswell, don't overmix the neem to water ratio cause it can clog the stomata of the plant and like suffocate it.
Some people even say its a good idea to mist off your plants after spraying them like 3 hours later, but i didn't and I was fine.
I also like to spray it on my hands or fingers and rub it all over the leaves, try to apply slight pressure on the spine under the leaves cause thats where they lay their eggs.

I got mad OCD though so yea.

I moved the lights up ALOT, and it seems to have helped. the tiger striped leaves are going back to green, and the yellow spots were just water burns>< stupid me.

i am wondering if i should start to trim the lower branches??? or should i keep it untrimmed for awhile more? I read that trimming lower branches saves plant energy, and that it will help promote growth on the top.

also now that the soil is settling into the pot, its WAY low..... i could for another two inches into them, is there a way to safely do that? or should i leave it alone??

If there's a way you could get the temps down.....say to like under 85 atleast, your plants will grow alot better.
I'd wait till the plants recover from the stress and get to growing a little more before clipping anything, then I'd clip them off and rake the top inch or so lightly and fill with more soil; don't pack it down though.

^ i just ordered these Nutes, they seem to be what most people use. That and BMO, but i HATE paypal and thats all BMO accepts......so its all FoxFarms for me^^

My temps are at 81 atm.... im have been busy working on the ventilation. glad its pad off some^^
i lowered my Scrog screen 2 inches and started bent the first few branches back through.......its scary that they look so sad once you drag them out of the screen and back into the new hole.
However now that it is done SOOOO much more of the plants lower branches are bathed in 1000w goodness, and im starting to see how this method can be GREAT. Im hoping i dont fuck it up any........ ill monitor them to day and tomorrow will take pics of the girls and either share my triumph or my shame.

I totally agree with this. Let them roots settle in before adding stress to them.

steeZz, you and alotaball are convincing me to switch over to GH nutes. I don't know if it's user error or what but my plants do not like the Humboldt nutrients I feed them. Your guys plants are always looking super healthy.

Yea, and i'm not really doing any special measurements or anything, just following the guildelines of what to feed and lowering or upping the dose depending on the plant...

stable ass nutrient line I must say.

sorry, having Real Life drama......some fuckface is going about saying NOT NICE things about ur's truly....guy tried to scam me out of 1500 Bucks few months back when i was buying my grow stuff and gettign ready, guy was gonna sell my 5 weak ass leds and some perlite and vermiculite, and 12 clones that tuned out to be some shitty mexican strain, for 1200 and 300 to set it all up for me. Needless to say, once i googled prices and looked at how easy setup is if you have half a brain, i told him to kick rocks, which turned into a fist fight, which led to him being taken off in handcuffs, with a broken nose and me having a restraining order on me.....not a good day.

so i took a few days to go to my boys house out by the border and we shot guns and decompressed.

I hate drama, and last thing i need at my age and station in life is a "arch-enemy", which is what its turning into.

Why do people have to be liek that? Why cant bitches just be cool?

Anyways here are those pics^^^^^^^^^^^
The girls are attacking the screen like crazy, once they were bent and the side branches got full light, they both exploded. Pretty happy^^ i should get my nutrient tomorrow or the next day. but wont be adding any until another week or so.
_---Ocean Forest has enough nutrients for a month right?-----

Also is it safe to add more soil? or should i not worry about it, the soil has settled some and its about 1.5 inches from teh lip of the pot....... i have OCD about some shit, and its been itching my brain >.<

FF OF should have everything you need in the nutrient department for about 3 weeks. I waited exactly 3 weeks before I started with nutes. I'm using FF OF and Happy Frog mixed with some earthworm castings. What I did after the first week is throw more soil in to 'top off' the pots. It wasn't a drastic amount or anything so it should be ok if you top them off a little bit. Some people top their pots off with worm castings or bat guano.
