Nice looking plants👍. I just finished up a photo AK47, it was a nice strain to grow. If interested, click my profile and click my journal. Jump to the end, that is where the AK pics are.

So I’ve noticed some what looks to be some rust spots on a few of my auto flower leaves. I was wondering if anyone had some clues as to what it could be. I noticed after I moved her up to 3L of water is when she started. I was wondering if maybe if could be over watering or could it be that I’m nearing the time to top dress again with Gaia green 284 power bloom. It got too dressed July 18th with 444 and 284. August 18th would be exactly 30 days from the last top dress.

You’ll see a little bit of a haze because I sprayed some neem oil just incase I was coming across pest but I checked the plants real good and don’t see any bugs, checked the yellow traps and they hardly had anything on them. So I’m kinda leaning more to feeding/watering weathering then pest.

I believe Gaia is on a 30 day schedule and top dressing takes a bit of time to be taken up, so probably safe to feed. You could next time you water, try collecting some runoff to take a look at how much food / ppms are available to the plant and check ph. The spots if you inspected and no pests, I am not sure what that is.

Copying a few that may have an idea.

@Gl1tch may have a good clue as well.

Is it leaf spot?

Thanks for the tag Growbro! Imo, they look hungry or have lockout. Defs do a runoff and check ph and ppm. As for the yellow spots, could be burn from water droplets but I would turn the leaf over and inspect for pests with a loupe to be sure.

Did you spray this plant with the lights on?? Looks like some Lensing… moisture droplets burn the leaves from the lighting intensity :love_you_gesture:

So next watering I’ll do a really good one in order to collect run off and check the ph and ppm. It could honestly need a flushing because I hardly ever water until runoff. I’m using 70% coco with 30-35% perlite in 5 gal fabric pot. Recommended amount of top dress from the Gaia green. I wasn’t sure about watering until run off due to not being sure if that would wash out the dry amendments.

I never really spray my plants. So I’m gonna say it shouldn’t be water droplets. I checked for pest. Tops, bottoms, stems and soil didn’t see anything. Most I seen was the gnats that were originally on my yellow sticky traps.

I hardly ever spray the plants. When I noticed the yellow spotting it was when the lights just turned on. So I sprayed them and turned the lights back off for an hour to let them evaporate off. I even tap the leafs a little to remove any big droplets if there is any. When I seen that it had dried I turned the lights back on.

Could it possibly be from doing the very last trimming and I stressed the plant out to much ?

I did not realize you were in coco, I assumed with Gaia Green it was soil. Coco generally is watered every day to run off with salt based nutes and is on a different ph range than soil I am not sure exactly how to manage your combination.

The target values for EC are between 1.1 and 1.3, for the pH, between 5.5 and 6.2 so I been phing the water to 5.8. Should I get the EC value before I water or at the runoff ? I’m using canna coco

I measure going in and runoff. Are you feeding liquid nutes in addition to the top dress? If only water no need to measure in.

Just water. Only the other plant is getting liquid nutrients. And that’s being fed through the self watering base. This is my first grow ever. So it’s kinda like a trial and error type of deal and trying to learn as much as possible off of this grow. So far I’ve had more problems with the auto flower using Gaia green dry amendments.

Then I have with the ak using liquid nutrients (Foop). And at first I was feeding through the top and once the plant was big enough I switched to the self watering.

Just my opinion that is a tricky combo the Gaia top dress with coco. I did look it up a bit, I saw Canuck YouTuber tried it. I do think coco even top dressed should be watered daily.
