NO WAY! I did wonder why the presentation was slightly different, I actually had to stop myself from commenting on the nice wooden floors!
Really need to stop medicating and commenting on your journal!
Having paid more attention this time around I can see that my favourite of your girls kumiko is finally starting to stack sum buds.
I'm not quite sure why she is my fab, her structure is so strange lol
You should consult the breeder of your Honey Haze to see if they have any input on what you are seeing with your plant. You should reference your grow journals.

Hey all, I need some advice..
My plant seems to be showing more sighns of phospherus def, the thing is I think it because my PH was way down at 4 and I have been struggling to get it back up to 6.5.. I have flushed (alot of water) twice now and I thought my PH was back up but the plant is still showing new spots... Im confused, I only have 3 weeks left and wanted to start flushing for the final 3 weeks... What should I do? give it more nutes or just stop and let it do its thing? Have I done serious damage to my yeild?
Any help would be much appreciated =)

Good idea John. Thanxx
I think your diagnosis was wrong Cannabomb. Here's an example of a Phosphorous deficiency.

What I believe you have may be a Calcium deficiency. Here's an example:

Or it may be a PH problem.

Best of buds BAR!
Cannabomb firstly those buds look way immature to only have a few weeks left, you look like you have a lot longer to go. Then to just say that you flushed your pots thoroughly. This means your PH may be set again, yet you need to add the nutrient/mineral your plant is lacking now. Also things like this dont correct straight off you will always see a bit of continuence before the improvement.
Thats all I can say as not a deficiency guy!

Thanks Light Addict, the plant is NL auto, and 9-10 weeks from seed was what I was expecting, I guess not... so I flushed about 4 hours ago the soil is very wet... should I wait a few days before feeding or give them nutes and a small bit of water today?
Thanks alot for the reply

Sorry Bar didnt see you had posted that, ok that looks alot more like what I have.. But KingJohnC said it was phosphorus def... should I smash a few eggs, grind up the shells and sprinkle it over the soil?
Also with cal def it seems to start at the end of the leaf my problem is starting from the steam and working its way out to the leaf tips...
So now it COULD be a phos def, a cal def, or a ph imbalance lol

On this thread, scroll down to the pic of manganese deficiency and then down to the one that shows the potassium deficiency caused by pH lockout. It looks similar to your plant and could possibly be the problem.

And Pepé Le Pew (Skunk) did get worse. I believe B.Real nailed it; A nitrogen deficiency.

This Morning
So I hit her with a dose of Fox Farm Grow Big which should eradicate the problem.

Ok so at this stage I am going to put my problems down to PH. I have corrected that and guess now I just ride it out...
Bar, your awsome

From Hemp Diseases and Pests (Chapter 7 - Abiotic Diseases):
Generally, deficiency symptoms of mobile nutrients (N,P,K,Mg,B,Mo) begin in large leaves at the bottoms of plants. Deficiency symptoms from less mobile nutrients (Mn,Zn,Ca,S,Fe,Cu) usually begin in young leaves near the tops.
This observation helps to eliminate a few of the specific elements at times when you're trying to figure out exactly which one is the problem; hope it helps.

Cannabomb, how are you measuring pH? Are you using a meter, and if so has it been calibrated recently. It is pretty difficult to get soil down to 4.0 if there are any buffers in the soil.
At any rate, I think what LA said is spot on. If you flushed the crap out of the plant it will start to show signs of recovery in the new growth, but the already damaged leaves will not heal.
If you are continuing to pH your nutrient/feed solution with a meter that is out of whack, or based on inaccurate readings, then you are going to end up right back where you started.

@PeeJay, I am using PH drops.. They are fairly accurate i guess.. I need to get a proper digital meter though I know.. My last grow I was using a ph meter that simply did not work, my whole grow I thought my PH was 8 and it turned out fine lol, none of this stuff going on..I think it is because it is an auto that it is alot more sensitive to what I have done? =)
@ PotChimp Thanks alot for the info, I have problems with leaves at the bottom and at the top, the middle looks great lol I would say it has affected 50% of the plant and 50% looks fine...
Thank a million for your input guys it means alot to have your help =)

Thanks, helps me relax abit,
I am checking on them on the hour, and I can see it spreading and getting worse.. I dont see how this is possible, if it was calcium burn then after 2 flush's you would think that it would at least stop burning, if it was from low ph, it should stop now as my PH is 6.5, and if it was nute lockout then this should be resolved by bringing my PH back up also... I havnt giving these plants huge amounts of nutes at all... my other NL in veg received basically the same thing, just half the dose being that it is half the size and it looks fine..no marks twisting etc..
Arh... Confused as a drunk man trying to unlock a door
