Whats goin on with my ladies?
Im having some issues with a couple of my plants, 5 weeks into veg
1000w HPS, Happy Frog natural&organics soil.
View attachment 2442956 this one a has brown dots on the two newest fan leaves
View attachment 2442958 is this nute burn?
Brown leave tips, slight necrosis starting at the lowest nodes
I recently transplanted them from solo cups, and gave each 1-2 tablespoons of Happy Frog Japaneese Maple 4-8-5 fertalizer.
Any advice, help, tips tricks or ho's greatly appreciated.

​First grow and I am having some issues - go figure huh? I would say it has to be either over-fert, salt build up in soil, soil ph out of whack, or calcium/magnesium deficiency (more likely a little of each of these factors). Last week I added some dolomitic/calcitic lime (2 tbsp each pot watered into soil) and I think I finally have my soil ph stable and this may help with any cal mag deficiencies as well. The ladies are in day 35 of flower. I am getting dry, crusty leaves with rusty colored spots on some of the upper fan and sugar leaves around a few of the top colas. This is this only place it seems to be affecting them. I flushed with a clearing agent 2 days ago so I hope this might have cleaned out any remaining salts in the soil. I put these ladies through about 8 to 10 week veg cycle while I was building the LED light so that soil was probably pretty crusty from all the ferts over that amount of time.
Age - 36 days of 12/12 (but I vegetative grew these clones for 10 weeks due to delays in flower room prep)
Strain - unknown bagged (probably Indica / sativa hybrid)
Lighting - homemade LED array with mostly 660 nm red Phillips LEDs with some 420 nm violets, 440 nm blues, 475 nm blues, and 6300k whites. Since these are spectrum specific, I am getting a tremendous amount of PAR at approximately 1000w HID equivalent at a 1/3 of the electricity and virtually no heat.
Temperature - 67 to 78 degrees
Humidity 50% to 55%
Insects - fungus gnats, now completely eradicated from using sticky traps. no other signs of pest.
Soil - FF Ocean Forest + 2 tbsp Lime per 18 L square pot
Municipal tap water @ 8.3 ph (7.9 ph after 48 hours)
Hardness = 156 ppm
Calcium = 27 ppm
Magnesium = 22 ppm
Sodium = 27 ppm
Fertilizers - see Foxfarm soil feeding schedule ( I fed the complete line of products at the recommended doses which I am sure now was way too much. I have since fed nothing but PH water and will resume the feedings at about 1/3 of what they recommend.)
Thanks for any help.
I added 1 tsp per gallon of Epsom salt a week ago. Next grow I intend on using Epsom every other week or every third week at that dosage. How much does everyone else use?Caesar ... That's a MG def. Fox nutes are way light on it and those ladies show it bad.
