Hi,
Following images from ILGM Power Plant strain, feminized, in the flower/bloom stage.
I’ve been able to use this site to help me understand what the issues may be but I’m not clear on what I can do to improve the plants condition. Any comments are welcom
Some pics of the full plant and some details about your grow will help us help you.
A support ticket will help us help you. Can you please fill out a support ticket? Please include what type of water you are using (RO, distilled, tap.)
COPY/PASTE the below list into your forum post.
Answer these simple questions the best you can.
If you do not know, or do not use something; Just say so; Or post

Always try to upload a clear picture of any issues you may have to allow the community to assist you. Pictures taken under natural or white lighting are by far the best.
Add anything else you feel would help us give you a most informed answer should be included. Feel free to elaborate, but short and to the point questions and facts will help us help you in a more efficient manner.
Ok thats potassium or phosphorus def you can make a banana tea with fish shit in it with molasses .get ur self a ten ltr or 20 ltr bucket fill with water get five banana skins and get all the skin from a cucumber cut up the all the skins including the banana skins cut th all up into smaller pieces place in to a mesh bag or a old stocking place that into the bucket using the handle to tie off the bag or stocking add three tablespoons of molasses desolved in warm water add five mls of fish shit and put a air stone in the bucket and now bubble it for 24 hours when done you can water ur plants with out having to use more water but you can still mix it with water if you want to before u water
Indoor or outdoor? – indoor, 6 x 8 x 8 lights cover 5x5

Humidifier = yes
Do you have a Ventilation system? Size?
Intake: AC Infinity cloudline 6"
Exghust: AC Infinity cloudline 8”
12” oscillating fan
Co2 = No, not in use light not powerful enough
How long have you been growing? 1 year, couple grows
I’ve read up on making “teas” but never took that leap. Might have to try - would used coffee grinds be of any use in this situation?
Nothing can really be said without knowing what soil you are in, how big the plant is, and without knowing pH and PPM.
If they are the lower leaves on a mature plant I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s impossible to help further without pics, pH, and PPM data.
MidwestGuy is right on. Without knowing the pH, anything suggested is just guessing. My tap water is around 7 out of the tap and rises to 8.3 pH when the chlorine gasses off. Chlorine is of course acidic.
Tezza mentioned potassium or phosphorus deficiencies and that is probably correct. But it could be because you are off on the pH and the plant cant uptake those nutrients. It wont go away no matter how much more you add until you fix the pH range of your soil. Knowing that you are using tap water and gassing it off I will venture a guess, and that’s all it is, that you are above the 6.5 - 6.8 range you need to be in. And also as mentioned the exact soil you are using. Knowing which one helps us to figure it out as each soil mix has its own personality and needs.
Coffee will make ur soil go to acid the only way i know i used it to bring down my soil ph before i used alittle bit to much
@Russell_Leaves i would feed with kelp and molasses if you have any on hand also shot glass to a gallon of male urine
I have to jump on the lack of pH and PPM information. Was it not given because you do not take any intake (feed & water) pH and PPM readings? Likewise for runoff. You use some mix of fertilizers - what?
Soil - what soil?
Nutrient deficiencies and root level pH issues are really magnified during flower. Immediate corrective actions may be needed to prevent or limit further damage.
A good photo of the overall plant is helpful. The location of the affected leaves provides valuable information.
Provide more info and hopefully you will get some help. I suspect it is problem related to pH being out of range or an inadequate flower stage nutrient deficiency
Your plant looks great. I am guessing those leaves in the original post were from the bottom of the plant where the leaves eventually die off. Everyone’s does that. Mine are doing it as we speak. If you start to see that stuff up higher or on all the leaves then you might have a bigger issue.
I think you can carry on as planned.
Lady looks good. You’re going to have a huge cola!
