Lowryder 2 some kind of spots? help please

Staygrowin · Sep 26, 2014

This is my lowryder 2 it is in an 18 gallon tote container with one other lowryder 2. But this one is the only one with these spots and it is only on these two leaves. I did my weekly flush today and started them on 3/4 flower nutes 1/4 veg since they started flower yesterday. using 2 100w CFL , 1 125w CFL 2 5000k CFL and 2 2700k CFL. Fox Farm Nutes tiger bloom, and bloom big, just added 1 capfull of superthrive. thank you for any advice.

I'm definitely not a pro.....but it looks like those spots are on the upper leaves. If you're sure it's not bugs, which from the pics I didn't see any, try some Epsom salts or (sulfur). Start lightly and see if they respond, like a 1/2 of TBS per gallon. It will not hurt them either way. If they begin looking better, double the dose on the next feeding.

It could be heat burn too......I was assuming you checked that

Which are you suggesting, epsom salts or sulfur? Because epsom salts are magnesium...

Those spots look like you spilled chemical on the leaves.

The droopiness of them suggests over watering as well

I agree with Snafuu,^^^ it does look like splatter, can you see a distinct splatter pattern like on TV law and order ..
as you flush weekly I doubt this is a serious issue, just monitor for now
you may look to making those rubber maids light proof spray them black to prevent light getting to the roots
..or even making algae in their

2 things
#1- you should keep your grow room immaculate, the more mess the more room for problems resulting from such; get those cords off the floor even if there not live!
#2- Those are burn spots from a droplet of liquid acting as a magnifying lens.... IMHO there is no reason to foliar feed dwc plants, especially if you have adequate water surface agitation. Surface agitation will help prevent the slumped overwatered look

Thank you all for the replies, I am in a cramped space so when I fill the res I have been having some platter problems so i would guess that is probably what it is I was watch it and try to get a better setup for filling, unfortunately I'm not a pro and this setup is vey DIY so I will do my best with cords but most them are just too short ASAP I will be getting extension cords so I get most of the cords on the outside of the tent. Thank you everyone

And got a thermometer it was 80-78 degrees so Im broke so I froze some bags of ice and stacked them in a box with holes in front of a biz fan to blow cool air into the room. Broke person AC will see if it works well enough

Thank you for your advice i have been looking into a few of your grows on here so to have you comment on my little ole thread is awesome

i have since gotten all of my wires safely outside of the tent and with your comment i realized i did splash some nute solution by accident a few weeks back thought i had cleaned it all up properly i will be much more careful. Thanks again

my best guess is root slime/algae growth... those buckets should be blacked out to prevent any light from getting to the water
light + water = algae

thank you i have blacked out the containers and the plants have entered flowering. i have a problem now with i think calcium or magnesium. the leaves are yellowing and falling off and have black spots near the veins. it is quickly moving up the two bigger plants. any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

black spots look like "thripps" a leaf biting insect.... the yellowing could be lots of things, I'm not sure though

I've treated for the thrips and it seems to have helped. Now with they have these black spots on the stems only and its spread to two out of the three that I've noticed so far. But the buds look nice for the light they are getting. I have just started to flush them hoping they will be ready to harvest in a few days to a week. As always thank you go taking the time to help me out.

Are the black spots on the stems from the dead thripps or do I have some other kind of infestation? If so should I still harvest or treat them first?

FrozenChozen · Nov 2, 2014

I was un clear in what I said before.... The black spots are fecal matter from said thripps, its not going anywhere, it permanently stains the leaf or stem.

Hey been off for a while been busy but I finished up my lowryders ending with about 3 oz dry weight which considering all factors is not bad. Now I am growing a sour diesel auto and a narcotic kush auto each in their own five gallon bucket with air injection air stones under a 400w hps and 4 led strips with 60 3w diodes per strip. And they sprouted about 3 days ago and the sour diesel is looking dried thought it might be nute burn so I got two five gallon water jugs so there won't be anything in the water. Here are some pictures what do you think?

THE KONASSURE · Dec 13, 2014

you have them tiny plants under 540w of led and 400w of hps ? sounds like a hell of a lot like 10w of cool white cfl will do till they have 2 nodes then you still don`t need much like 1 of your led lights would veg 4 to 10 plants maybe more

What are they potted in ?

Lowryder 2 some kind of spots? help please
