That's a nitrogen def, like some have said on this thread. Its normal at this stage, don't add any more grow (nitrogen) that will cause fluffy budding. That's why you are supposed to cut the grow nutes out late into flower..plants look great!!!!

Doesn't cause 'fluffy budding' as far as I've noticed over 4 grows, I use it when it's needed :)

My general theory is if you keep your fan leaves happy and green you will have better buds seeing as the fan leaves are the mini factories of the plant feeding the buds.

i think he was quite a big time suplyer for my area cos now that hes stopped its gone really dry.
saying about cutting the veg nutes back in flowering, this is my first go in coco and the chart says to feed equal amounts of a + b all the way through. i was thinking they would need different amounts like the soil grows ive done

Depends on what nutes you have if you have a 3 part feed yeah generally you have to change the amounts but I think most 2 part feeds do use equal amounts of a+b, which is why the lucas formula works so well too :D

it looks like nitrogen def mate you can still feed with N when flowering find something with the npk 20-20-20 and it should start to recover over a few day
 
Well the nutrients i have are all Plagron, so terra grow, terra bloom and green sensation top activator. Should i be mixing these up or just sticking to giving it the terra bloom until they're ready for the green sensation?

Aye its a joke here tae. Dyin wae man flu so al need to go out at somepoint. Will probs b 20 for a 1.5 :-(

How long u plannin on lettin yours flower? A got bout 2 wks left on ma psycho,thats if a can stop the itchy finger syndrome lol
 
yeah thats about what it is in my neck of the woods too, sometimes worse that 1.5 eightballs. i remembered when it all started wiv a bad drought a little while back but where every1 was willing to pay drought prices its just stayed that way because why would they ask for less money when people are willing to pay more.

im gonna refrain from the itchy finger and be patient lol ive put too much time money and effort into them to cut them down before im satisfied with the return, im thinkin maybe another month of flowering i know i should probably cut em down when they're at their most potent but if it means a few more ounces i dont mind loosing a couple percent of the thc content

Ironic how the black market is 'affected' by the recession lol but then I suppose it is even with the ridiculous amount of money the dealers make from 1.5g scores... My bro' has been picking up 1.2-1.3 grams for £20... It was then I thought 'fuck me I'm glad I don't pay your dealer'...

Looks like a bit of nute burn or calmag def.

Is it jst the tips and edges or hve u got the rust spots in the middle of the leave?

have you put veg feed in with out lowering the flower feed? looks like burn if it come on over night. i want to change my name on here to itchy fingers cos thats my main problem it comes on about week 6 and its really bad come 7 and a half
 
its just on the tips and some of the edges not any rust spots so far it must be nutrient burn, should i just run a load of water through the pots? haha just be patient mr t, can u nick a cheeky bud off it without damaging the plant?

Yeah it'l b nute burn m8,g e it a flush with plenty of water,let them drink it up then mayb a half strength feed to get u started again then bk to full strength and yes u can take a sampler without damagin it,am thinkin bout takin an arm off,jst to try it lol
 
So how much water are we talking (in litres) per pot? and how often? and what do i do with all the stuff that collects at the bottom, run it back through or get rid of it? i have these bloody air pot things that let an unbelieveable amount of water run out of them.

Airpots are good mate,that what I use. How big are your pots? ad run a couple of litres through to begin with n let them soak it up, would try for maybe 40-50% run off. If it dnt get anyworse go back on a half strength feed n build it back up
