HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP. This is my first grow and has been going quite swell, until now. Ive been on the forum for a bit now learning from all of this valuable information, i really think most people here have some great knowledge and experience that i would love to learn from so i come in need of help. i am growing 2 strains 1 himilayan kush and 1 tangerine dream. They have been going great until now, something seems to be happening to my tangerine dream. I transplanted the plants 5 days ago and they seem to have stopped drinking but i do not think this is part of what is happening to the TD since other than a bit of unthirst the himilayan kush is lookin good. whats happening to my TD is for maybe 3 days now the top full (i show which set in the pics) set of leaves has been drying out and now i am getting these spots on the outer edges of the oldest leaves. can someone help me please?

hopefully you can see better in this, you can see a blotch of one of the bigger spots or maybe several very close togethor but their are tiny black dots around the edges of the leaf. they are very prompt they are just a little to small to see in the pics i think

Kidding, wait to water again until the pot is very light and the plants show they are thirsty. If the plants droop and the pot is heavy, then overwatering. 1-2 weeks of little growth is not too unheard of with transplanting. What is your transplanting process? How do you handle the plant and the medium you are using? What prep do you do for transplanting? What soil?

i transplanted just before the light were turned off, i was very very careful with my babies, no signs that i damaged the root ball i grabbed around the area where i thought the roots spread to and lifted the whole ball of dirt (they were in a very big clay pot), plants didnt seem sad or anything and i watered heavily with a light nute dosing after and they were moved into roughly the same mix they were in before, half dirt mix(good dirt from my hydro shop) and half coco. they seemed fine until yesterday when i noticed these spots. i am on my way to buy a good camera right now to take better pics.

Nice man. This might be nit-picky and unrelated, but too often i see people not level off the bottom of their new soil medium before dropping in the plant. Leaving a "V" shaped hole an transplanting a flat bottomed plant will leave an airpocket, that will fill with water each time you water the plant and can cause root rot. Just saying.

interesting... I'd get a Jewelers loupe and check it out at 30x-60x mag. What %strength are your nutes. I had some similar looking leaves when I realized I was feeding at 1/20 instead of 1/4th
