Yellow spots on the fun leaves appeared two days ago, is it normal?? Its four weeks in to flowering. In the pics section you can see what i mean. 600w hps, soil based, few resources in fertilizers, room temperature 27c - 30c, hard water.

Thanks in advance!:

Pics available in the pic section.

Looks like pH issues and/or overfertilisation causing nutrient lock up.

Bit difficult to tell under the HID light.

Are you pH balancing the water? You say you have hard water, this would be my first suspect.

The problem is that i dont have ph meter. I have ph+ ph- solutions but i dont know how to use them coz the directions are in french, plus i dont have as i told you ph meter.. I guess i need to ph up it because the soil i used was already to 6.4 when new. Is there any way to to control the ph without a ph meter?

Pharm Girl

Directions in French??? Did i miss the medium mixture? How about litmus paper...it's cheap, n'est pas?

No problem....take a pic and post it up.

That company is taking Bill 101 way too far.........

Have you referred to the Nutrient Deficiency Chart posted??

saintan

As i wrote above i dont have the resources, yesterday i found directions telling about 20 parts water 1 part ph+ so i took the risk and watered my girls with that solution and today when i go home i will see what happened. I also checked the chart and i guess that the problem is the ph. I dont know i am confused. I also going to upload a few more pics with the hps turned off to see for yourself. If the ph was the problem how long till the things will start to look better??

Pharm Girl

Don't see your soil recipe posted....i'm suspecting it's a blend purchased!

Personally, I blend my own and never worry about ph issues....

The ferts are what? 10-52-10 or a 20-20-20 mixture would be just fine.

I am curious as to the company and product yer using....any chance you could find a nice outdoor location?

I could really help ya out theres....~

I gotta split for now......someone else is coming to help!

Be careful, adjusting pH blind is tricky to say the least.

You can get pH test solution from a hydro or aquarium store for minimal $- they are not as accurate as a pH meter but will give you a good idea.

Or you can get litmus paper from a chemist maybe.

I have hard water and the ph is high(7.75). Not sure if all hard water is the same.

I have hard well water and the pH was always above 7.5. Pet stores have a lot of different pH test kits, they are better than nothing. Check the ranges on them some don't read below 7.0 for example. You can also check pool/spa supply stores although they usually sell test strips that are multiple tests in one and therefor aren't of much use because we could give a shit about chlorine content and the like.
Definitely don't use the pH up on your hard water if anything add the pH down, although how much I can't say.
