so i have a buzz light gear, 4 1/2 weeks since first pistils,10-12 week strain..... healthy all thru veg, fertilome soil , flowering under 1000w hps cut to 75% and 240w in cfls, temps at 80 degrees , 34% humidity, fox farms trio for feeding, also cal mag plus , epsom salts, advanced nutrients big bud, tap water (recently switched to distilled) so i was thinking it was chlorine/ chlorimines doing this to my leaves which it still might be, also have been giving 1/2 tsp epsom salts and 3ml dose cal mag.... anyone have any different suggestions...20151019_172051.jpg20151019_172145.jpg 20151019_172134.jpg 20151019_172036.jpg
 
thanks freak yea i orignally thought lockout of mag due to too much cal thats why i stepped back on cal mag and stepped up on epsom salts ...
 
my water is hard imo 250 ppm , also after looking at my city water chart and at this sick plant chart i have i was thinking possibly chlorine as well

my epsom salts are like 15% mag. have you thought about too much mag? since you are adding cal mag also.

is your ph looking ok? to me ir alnost looks like potassium might be starting to ve locked out too.
 
havent been checking ph because my soil is buffering.... also only two of eight plants have this problem..
 
id have to disagree with K lock out,due to huge bud growth and trichome development, although ill go ahead and get a soil ph tester this week to be sure...

This is your problem. The larva from fungus gnats are what you have to worry about, they eat your roots and it will show on your plant as many nutrient problems. It shows that way because it sort of is a nutrient problem, with your roots being attacked your plant is not getting all the nutrients it needs. The fly form of the fungus gnat exits to only lay eggs and spread fungus from plant to plant. The fungus makes your roots easier to eat for their larva, which is why they are called fungus gnats. By the way the fly will lay thousands of eggs so for every fly you see you have an exponentially larger problem than you might think you have.

Get gnatrol, problem solved.

Also as a side note to your OP. Chlorine in the amounts present in your tap water have absolutely zero effect on your plant. In fact the chlorine is not even strong enough to kill pythium spores and often people are giving their plants pythium in their tap water. If your problem persists after you have fixed your fungus gnat problem then look into a RO system or just run a dead rez.
 
thanks donk. i sprayed with fungicide-3 earlier today when i seen how many there where ....didnt spray the buds and went heavier towards the soil, and lower foilage. ill spray again next week

you really need a soil drench to get at the larva and most of the fungus for that matter. What kind of spray are you using?
 
reason i didnt list fungus gnats as a potential diagnosis before is because i had this same exact issue when running in DWC...also using tap water...

sure it wasnt fungus gnats then also? or just fungus? sometimes they are chicken or the egg type problems.
 
I was just going to bring that up also. Looks like your adding a lot of shit to soil that already has nutes in it. You might be overdoing it.
 
i use fertilome ultimate @mr sunshine it is mixed with peat moss , dolomite, limestone, perlite , and sphagnum... healthy as can be all thru veg and into week 2 of flower is when i started sing a few leaves effected... all my other plants excpt one are perfectly fine
