Hi All,

I am needing a lil support from the wonderful people here. About 3 days ago I noticed some small brown spots on a couple sugar leaves on my AK-47. The next day it was a little worse but today I don’t see any change. It is affecting (3) colas on this plant, the other (5) colas are fine.

They are 5 weeks into the flowering phase

@BigCat420 @Caligurl @Hellraiser and @MidwestGuy-

Thanks for the advice. I have been using Earth Juice’s Bloom, Meta-K and Microblast. I have been giving them just a little Chicken Soup for the Soil for a lil nitrogen. I also use molasses to feed the microbes. And I do Cal-Mag every watering.

Here is a better picture of all the plants. I hate the purple light from the LEDs. Overall the are nice and green.

Thanks!

Personally, i wouldn’t give them N at this stage. You are far enough along that I wouldn’t worry about it… just keep any eye out to make sure its not getting too bad.

You could also add a little Epsom salt to the mix which will help with the Cal/Mag uptake. I use 1/4t for a 5 gallon bucket of water/nutrients

Thanks all for the compliments! This is my 3rd grow… the first one sucked because I didn’t know anything… the second sucked even worse because I thought I knew everything…

Good tip on the epsom salt to help with Cal/Mag uptake @Caligurl, I will give her a dose of that and keep a close eye on things.

I have been decreasing the nitrogen the last 3 feedings and like you say I probably won’t add any more.

Thanks again everyone!
