You got that right! As long as I dont mess something up in the next few weeks lol. This is my first grow so things could still go wrong. This weekend I am going to buy a dehumidifier for the room the closet is in because the humidity is hanging between 58% and 75% in the closet.

Oh ok. How is your soil ph. Thats where most of the promblems start in flowering. Be anal with your plants so you DONT mess anything up. I learned its the only way to get it right lol.

I checked the ph of my runoff for the first time lastnight and its between 5.5 and 6. I know it should be a bit higher but the plant is so healthy looking I dont know if I should try to correct it.

Ya you should try and correct it!!!!! If it stays that low all the way through you won't yeild near what you would've with the correct ph. Having the ph right stops things like Nutrient Lockout and ph flux spots on leaves. Without the ph stable she won't be able to take up ANY of the flower nutes you are giving her. Get you some dolemite lime from home depot or lowes. Its 4.99 for a 50lb bag. It great for raising ph levels in soil. Use small amounts at a time. Or everytime you water just barely cover the top surface and check after you water.

Well so far I have lost about 30 leaves. The leaves get rusty colored spots then dry up starting at the tips. I am thinking about flushing the soil with some distilled water. But I'm not sure if I will at this point because most of the plant looks great in my noobish opinion.

Can anyone take a guess at how long I have till harvest? Today is day 30 of flowering. I am thinking possibly anywhere between 12-26 more days. I'm getting anxious plus it makes me feel confident I only have to keep her healthy for a little while longer lol.
Plus for 30 days of flowering is my bud growth on track?

Tonight I flushed Adam. I put 2tsp of foral clean into 1 gallon of distilled water. Ran that gallon through her. Then I ran another 2 gallons of pure distilled water through her. And finally I followed it up with 1 gallon with nutes in it. Except this time I only put in 2tsp of molasses instead of 1tbl. The runoff of the water when I was done with the first 3 gallons wat about 6.5 or so. After mixing the nutes up I checked and the ph of the water was 4. I added some bakeing soda to it and brought it back up to 7. Cross your fingers! PS I am typing this very very high lol so forgive me if its sounds wierd. It doesnt sound wierd to me. No not wierd at all

There ya go, brutha.. you're on it. Good stuff. That should arrest your problem; might take a couple days before you see it, though.
See that 4.0 shit in your nute solution? There should be a banner across the top of RIU that says "NUTES ARE REALLY REALLY ACIDIC.. WATCH OUT!!!!"

Deffinately should be. I learned this the hard way. But hey now everytime I water I check the waters ph and the soils ph after just to make sure. Double checking everything seems to work a lot better a little more time consuming but boy does it make a difference.

Well it's been 1 week since I flushed and leaves are still dieing. I think I am going to cut my fox farms nutes down to 1/2 strength. I am at day 37th day of flowering and I really hope they finish early because I worry that I will not have many fan leaves left in another 2-3 weeks if I can't get this under control.
PS. is 1 TBL of molasses per gallon during every watering too much?

No one tbl is good. The molasses isn't a nutrient its what the micro-organisms eat and they create more nutrients in the soil and everything.

These pictures were taken last night. Adam is 79 days old. My plant has been on 12/12 for 41 days but since it took about a week to see buds forming I guess it has only been flowering for 34 days or so. I have lost allot of leaves but it still looks fairly healthy.
I also included a picture of one of the sic leaves I cut off. The leaves get all spotty like that then dry up curl and fall off.

Looks some sort of defficancy go check the grow faq and try and pin point what it is. Check the back of your fertilizer and see the amounts of EVERYTHING it has in it. You wanna get this problem nipped in the bud as quick as possible bro.
