Whats Going On?

Hey guys, so I just recently encouraged myself to start harvesting and finally got down to it so this is my first grow. Got some Grand Daddy and Bubba Kush on the set and Ive been doing good so far up until now (mid flower stage, aprox a month in now). I have been using FF Ocean Forest soil along with intervals of Happy Frog, and always making sure the water Ive been using to be set from 6-6.5 ph levels. Once they were big enough to be fed I began with General Organics BioThrive (4-3-3), only light feeding during veg stage. When I put them into flowering I started feeding higher dosages each week until just this past week I did a really heavy feeding then another week later I began feeding them Beastie Bloomz, but I noticed something weird. About 3 out of the 6 Im growing, began to show these little yellow dots that started to turn orange between the veins on the fan leaves. The other 3 are just fine but Im not sure what the hell is going on!? I flushed the crap out of the 3 of them with 6.5 ph purified water and 2 ladies seemed to kinda chill out with no more worsening of the leaves but one of them is really losing fan leaves and fast. Uploaded pictures to help clarify. From the research Ive done so far Ive only come to the conclusion that it coulda been a nute lock out...? Only other thing I found relatively close is spider mite results but I have kept a close eye on them and theres definitely none of those around. If anyone has any idea, or need more information from to find out whats going on I would greatly appreciate it! I definitely need to get this fixed so I can gain experience and grow bigger and better budssssss so any help or recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks familia.

that is nutrient burn from to strong of nutes, also you have some lighting issues and are a long way from harvesting.

I figured... but I wasnt sure because the other 3 werent affected this same way, so other than genetics I have no idea why that happened to only half of them. Also how do you know theres lighting issues ?

could be lighting or to much N or possibly bad genetics, but see how the top leaves look like salad leaves.
indicates something ain't right.

Hmmm, well I did have them real close to the lights somewhat but then I bent them using the bending technique... what should I do about the too much N? I completely stopped all feeding and only been flushing them for the past 4 days .

in fairness some varieties uptake differently than the next. even great genetics can vary from one to another in ways they metabolize their nutrients. One plant can handle the limits while another responds poorly to less nutrient. I got lucky ...all the ones I keep have been treated the same and either adjust or its a non issue with them. any issues I've had were always a feeding issue. I find more was always the problem, not so much with less....

begin feeding 1/4 strength now. your roots are screaming, your plant is confused, overfed then underfed.....might not recover hard to tell. any time I sense I over did it in flower I toss the plant instead of fussing with repair. they're never what they should have been at the end when dicked in the middle of flower.

It does appear you have multiple issues going on......first off, check for mites as it sure looks like the beginning of an infestation. That's what is causes the "dots". Second, plants like a constant pH level, not a wide swing between 6.0 and 6.5. Lock it in around 6.3-6.4 and keep it there with every watering. Third, it looks like like a fertilizer over load, and that obvious because they are so dark green at this point. Also, the browning of the tips is the giveaway.

Alright thanks for the feedback guys I appreciate it , will continue to post if I continue to have problems.

Hey guys so the plant that I posted earlier a week ago has not worsened nor gotten better (very very slow growth). Im thinking about chopping it down. I apologize in advance for the next following nooby questions haha since this is my first grow I do need as much information as possible thank you. Is there anything I can make out of the plant? Maybe some edibles? Do I still need to dry the plant out ? or can I just chop out the miniature premature buds and cook them into some butter? Thanks again fam.

1. 4-3-3 is to much N this late, period.
2. Real life ca: mg issue.
2.5 Magnesium sulfate is your friend.
3. No bugs, refer back to #2's
3.1 ppms should have passed peak and declining now.
4. Believe nothing you hear, half of what you see.

There was a few fungus gnats around but I took care of the problem, were only there for couple days so that shouldnt have caused it. And I fed all my ladies plenty of Cal-Mag along with their normal feeding. Its definitely not recovering but not worsening I just dont want to chop it down and throw it away... its like throwing all that hard work away for nothing

Nute lockoput AND pH problems?

pH in, clean water, use proper pH.

pH out test, is it very low relation to pH in, then salt is buildt up in medium.

flush or no flush, if you didn't check runoff, then you could have needed to flush 10 times more.

who knows?

ammended soil + nutrient salt usage hard to fix once go bad if not know exactly what doing.

pick one or other next time.

Good Growing.



-Bottled organic wannabe organic solution, or salt nutrient, same difference.

Win, lose or draw you smoking something soon.

If it were me. I would flush with pH water take few days off feed and see what's happening. See if that ca clears up and lose some of that darkness, then some magnesium sulfate with my declining ppm feed.
