I rarely watch TV. When I wanted to watch The CNN Sanjay Gupta Weed show recently, I turned on the tube only to realize CNN isn't one of the basic channels we get. Ha! I never turn it on and didn't even realize I don't get CNN

Thanks to some reference work on this thread and into my archives, I have nailed this down to Ca def. Run off was testing a little low far as pH goes. I under-shot the lime and gypsum in this soil mix.
3-pronged attack, pH buffered waters, CaMg+ (already gotten onto both) and a little feed with molasses next time they get thirsty. This is the worst leaf. It became pretty easy to figure out as soon as I had them out from under the HID. The sprays were doing a little to help this on and colour the necrotic spots, which was causing the confusion. The little yellow 'corona' around the spots are a dead give-away, also the 'isolation' of the dead spots in the middle of the leaf. My dirty hippy just been in the dirt thumb is in there for scale.
On most of the leaves where you can actually find signs of this, there are only the smallest of little deadening spots, about 1/4 the size of these on this leaf, and a tell-tale 'patchy' yellowing of the front left 1/8th of a single finger on girl no 3.

Gandalf, it was your post revisiting your pH and Ca issue that prompted me to cross-reference this problem. I am now 100 percent sure. Thanks mate. In sharing our weaknesses we make the whole group stronger. Learning from each other's lessons. The Circle Of Green continues...

At least my least favourite pheno got this first and gave me warning before the others suffered. I am having the best luck with this run. Badasssss.

Sweet. That is why we are all here bro. It's so great to have each other to bounce shit off. I am really psyched that you got on top of it. :joint:

I've got the exact same issue going on with my Bubblegum girls in flower. Started noticing some similar spotting on a few leaves. After a few days I decided to run out and buy a soil ph meter .... 5.2. Yikes! I added some calcium carbonate, oyster shell flour and gypsum to my soil that's cooking and will do the same to my buckets that are in flower when they finish up.

Grape Puff, 5 weeks from seed...

They are stretching a little more than I anticipated. Possibly because I have them a little too far away from the light. I bleached the shit out of a batch of Cheesequake clones last round so I think I over-compensated this time. No biggie though as I plan on topping these anyway for clones before they go in to flower.

edit: That's the "runt" front and center in the last pic.

Just had a realization last night.

My airpots are hurting me with soil. It is so dry here and I have to cool the air in my tent so my dirt is drying out in one day. That hurts my little guys making the plant food, my plants suffered and my yield will be not great for my first organic run.

My smaller plants in regular nursery pots are kicking ass. derp

I still plan on using my airpots (up one size) but I am going to line them with landscape fabric to slow the drying. If that is not enough, I go back to expensive, 5 gallon square pots.

The day I stop learning about growing is the day they burn my corpse and toss the ashes into the trash.

I'd water more? I have my Geopots and would never go back, but I use Blumat drippers so constant perfect moisture.

Looks great st0w. I am so glad you saved the "runt". It too early for me to see the GS phenos you have. I for one honestly love the Joseph OG so much that this strain is such a slam dunk. I can't wait to see these get going. Some of the phenos will have more stretch than the others. What will be the ultimate determining factor in knowing the phenos is the calyx structure. GS will knuckle and Joseph will be sharp. You'll have some grape gasoline, straight grape, and chem candy phenos I am sure. There is fire in those plants of yours. I have not noticed any special needs that these parents need. Just do your thing. Thanks for the pictures. :eyesmoke:

New batch of soil with additional liming ingredients added, and 55 gal drums for professor Rrogs' industrial sized biochar project. :-)

Can't wait to see the final prototype in action!

No doubt about that. He is a great guy.

You are the Grand Poobah Rrog. I can't say it enough how much I respect your words. I think it is so cool you guys met. I am looking forward to the spaceship you are building. If you have your own biochar production unit you know you have reached the summit. Your wife really deserves the title of woman of the decade to let this go down. Much respect to Mrs. Rrog. :eyesmoke:

I'm with Rrog on this one, although bigger pots are always GOOD too. A drip system might just do the trick for you mate.
