I am in my last week of flower. these plants are og kush 18 and i see white spots on the buds and some leaves that are white with a yellow tint and some that have a purple/pink color to them. do these pics look normal. are the white spots on these plants and leaves normal or is this some sort of mold? should i cut these spots off? i thought maybe this was from light burn from being too close to the light or something but i have no idea. can anyone look at my pics and tell me if what they see is normal? i know the leaves are burnt looking but im look at the white spots. please help me figure this out. +rep for help and my great appreciation. thanks.

I made these pics pretty big to show as much detail as possible.

Your plants are Potassium deficient and have been sucking K from fan leaves for awhile now.
so my buds are fine then and i do not have mold issues? i dont need to cut anything? i am doing the lucas formula with gh micro and bloom and i am not liking the results so next grow im using sensibloom and see if i can get a better grow going. thanks for your answer about the deficiency though.

i am mainly so concerned because im running 2 other strains "white berry and lsd" and they dont have white spots on the buds and leaves like the og's do. I keep thinking its some kind of mold forming or something.

There's no mold that I can see. N deficiency usually makes general yellowing, P def. makes splotchy crispiness and K def. causes yellowing & necrosis on leaf edges and in between veins. Usually. Your other plants probably don't have as big buds as the problem plant? They may not require as much Potassium and therefore aren't as deficient. They still may benefit some from extra K, though. This is a good strong source http://www.planetnatural.com/site/organic-potash.html

Potassium deficient plants are usually tallest and appear to be most vigorous. Necrotic(brown/dead) spots form on lower leaves. Red stems. Leaves appear pale or yellow.

It seems more like its magnesium (Mg) and could also be some Sulfur deficiencies.

Mg deficiency shows - Lower leaves turning yellow and may even turn white while veins remain dark green. Blades die and curl upward. ***This seems like the closest match to all the symptoms***

Plants with Sulfur deficiencies show yellowing of new growth. Mix one tablespoon of Epsom salts per gallon of water until condition improves.

Here- use this guide, u know more than we can see in pics - http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/tables.html - yes i basically copied from there, but it has always tested accurate with me, so i just use that when i have a problem

Hope this helps- They look good though.
