I just got home and went to check on my babie and she is sick! yellow leaves, white spots in some places, bites taken out of yellow leaves. i have never had this happen to me before. i think there might be a deficiency of some sort ,or its because of the water i feed her, its from my pond, and my pond has been very merky and green and it's since this happened my plant is becoming ill.And also i checked thoroughly for spider mites and could not find any, i did find a real spider though. here are some photos, i would greatly appreciate any help!:leaf::oSAM_0287.jpgSAM_0288.jpgSAM_0289.jpgSAM_0290.jpgSAM_0291.jpgSAM_0292.jpgSAM_0292.jpg 4 or 5 months in, just starting to flower., the last 3 pics are just for fun:) little clone is Jack Herer.

I hate to say it dude, but I wouldn't even think of watering with stagnant pond water.

Me too, there is a filter that moves the water and aerates it, there are turtles and mosquito fish inside the pond haha. i know it looks disgusting right now because my beneficial bateria colonies died.

Repot right away. It's in flower so be really careful not to damage the roots. That pot is way too small. I promise it will work but it will take almost a week to respond. Do it now. Quit using that nasty water too.

the leaves seem to yellow faster when plants are in containers. and what exactly is wrong with pond water? fish and other animals live there, mammals most likely drink from it. its fine. the only nastyness in any natural watersource, is the crap ppl dump in there. anyway ur transitioning into flower now, and more and more leaves will yellow faster, im also doing a container grow and lower leaves have started yellowing quite a bit faster now that flowering has begun, just up the amount ur feeding them and they should be good. idk why ppl think tap water is so much safer than pond water, imo theres unknowns in both and unless u want to send both to a lab, to see whats all in it, we wont know. just becuase ur tap is clear and smells nice, doesnt make it better

Thats an 18 gallon pot man and the plant isnt very big, its been supercropped and topped in veg, i dont think its root bound, it couldnt hurt to much to repot it but its fruiting and i dont want to fuck up, im starting to think its a phosphorus, magnesium or manganese deficiency. idk its wierd theres white spots too tho

my tap water smells like rotten eggs.......I'd still rather use it than pond water. I'd rather not risk my soil growing algae ;)

I agree. I've been using pond water for my guerilla grows for several years now. I wouldn't say it is ideal, but there isn't any moving ground water in miles of my grow. I have to say though, it isn't as green and gross looking as that pond in the background of the OP's pics, which is what I am assuming he is using.

Yeah for some reason, outdoor plants don't like being in pots. I think partly because they get too hot.
