Strange cut looking thing on plant. Also yellowing.

Then there are 2 pictures that show the cut/burn type thingy. Also on that same leaf, a little under the cut there is some yellowish pollen looking stuff (best seen in 3rd pic). Then the next pictures show the leaf under that one, which has some yellow tips.

Last pictures are of course the plant up close and far away. If anyone has any idea what this could be from please let me know! +rep for sure.



- Edit -

Alright, so the problems are getting worse. There doesnt appear to be any bugs of any sort on the plant, unless they are microscopic. Anyone know what causes this?

New pictures start with the 8th picture. (picture 8-12)

all in all your plant looks fine... Yellowing tips arent really call for concern BUT if the leaf itself starts to turn usually a nute deficiency. I couldnt tell you what the "burn" is but aslong as you check the underside of the leaf for bugs you should be golden... Bugs will live under the leaves sometimes doing odd things to the top of the leaf.

Hope this helps

Haha great.

The plant had been doing great with 0 marks when I saw it yesterday morning. Yesterday evening those marks were on there. No bugs tho, so hopefuloly its just caused by the lights being too close or something. I moved them back a slight bit just in case.

As far as I can tell, its not bugs. I dont see any bugs at all, unless I need a microscope to see them. :/

Well I am using MG soil but only about 20-25% of the soil mixture is actually MG. Rest is Perlite and Peatmoss.

looks like the pH is off and your plant is not taking up the proper nutrients, what kind of water to you feed it?

if i had to guess, hard water from your tap or some other source has raised the pH to an alkaline level (above 7.5ish) which prevents the roots of the plants from taking up nutrients easily. When your leaves turn yellow and curl downwards thats a nitrogen definciency. I'd say go out and get some distilled, ph balanced water from the store and flush your plants before they die.

Flush your plants by pouring twice as much water as your pot holds through your soil. If your pot holds 2 gallons of soil, pour 4 gallons of water through the soil. Make sure your pot drains well. Beware though, now that your plant is deficient of nutrients, the ladies will have to be weened on to nutrients in small doses. After flushing, the nutrients in your miracle grow could rush in an overfertilize your weak ladies. raping them instantly.

this is all speculation but it could not hurt to flush your plants

Well thanks for explaining how flushing is done.

I dont think its a pH problem though. I was actually using tap water with a 7pH level at first, but for the past week Ive been using distilled store bought water form jugs with a pH balance of about 6.5.

Also purchased pH down for when I have to use my tap water.

I was hoping the MG soil wouldnt cause any problems since I used so little of it.

I may try to flush the plants later today. Hopefully since its a small amount of MG soil, they nutes in it wont rape my plants.

looks like potential nute lock and do you mist your plant at all when the light is on because lights act like a magnifine glass

No I havnt been misting them at all. Didnt really think I would need to as the lights dont get hot (you can see my setup in my grow journal(see sig)).

Not sure what Nute lock means but hoping the flushing could have fixed that. Guess I should start misting them from time to time too.
