what the hell is this?

[chongsbuddy]

i noticed that my kids have some weird shit on some of the leaves it almost looks like insect attack,but i used a magnifying glass and found nothing.I have some pics.Suby where are you?lol.seriously though im getting worried,i like to nip these things right in the butt.Anyone know what this is?the top pic looks a little different

Looks like you may have spilt something on your leaves...?

 

[Wait...What?]

Could be a little fert burn. Hard to say without more specifics, as underfertilization often looks like overfertilization in my limited experience. Babies need some fertilizer, but they don't need a very strong mix at all. Less is more.

I think they are overfed, just give them plain water the next few times and they will be fine.

WW He is growing in my ammended mix recipe so there are plenty of ferts in there already but I agree less is often more.

what are you using and how old are they. they dont look that bad to me. don't grow outdoors youll find holes and knicks everywhere it drives some people crazy.

 

[chongsbuddy]

im growing in subys mix which is 60% promix,30% perlite and 10% worm castings.To that you add dolomite lime,bone meal blood meal and kelp.I think it may be nute burn,because they were put in this mix at only 2nd set of leaves,maybe too early.They've been in that mix for about 9 days.2 days ago i gave them a weak tea,prob too much.will feed with water for a while i guess.When should i feed next?I am almost positive it's burn because i have 3 other plants that are 3 days younger and they are just in promix and doing great with none of those overfed signs.I will keep a close vigil.The plants are really starting to take off now,a really exciting time for me!Thanks for the info.Any other comments welcome.Oh and i got banned from marijuana.com forum for saying that icmag is way better then them,i got an email yesterday saying im banned for life and have fun over at IC MAG,Guess what guys,I didnt lose a wink of sleep last night!IC MAG rocks the house!

well i know the organic soil forum kicks ass. sounds to me like you transplanted too early. a common problem with soil. seedlings should just be fed compost or castings for the first month and supplimental kelp in base soil. then you transplant into that mix which is high in nutes they will be ready for it and love you.

 

[chongsbuddy]

do you still think tey will be ok if i just water for a while,to tell you the truth they dont really look bad at all,i just see anything and panic.

 

[jaykush]

yea thats fine they didnt get burned that bad at all. just use water for a few and then start with some strong castings/compost teas they will be fine. they look fine most of those little nicks mean nothing.

 

[chongsbuddy]

thanks a bunch,i'll keep you guys posted

 

[Suby]

Yeah what JK said.

That was good advice. It looks like there could be some lockout, so to be safe, i would give a PH'd flush of twice your containers volume of water, then resume with a radical tea like jaykush said.

 

[chongsbuddy]

should i do it right away,or wait for some more symptoms?I'm just afraid i might over water my soil,i've heard horror stories about overwatering in soil.Im in your hands guys,im just a little scared,thats all.

You really can't overwater in that ProMix, Perlite, Worm Castings medium. It just doesn't get soggy.

 

[High Jinks]

Over watering symptoms occur when you don't allow your medium to dry out and roots cant get oxygen. A good flush will wash accumulated salts out and return your medium to a 'clean slate.' Then you can resume your normal feeding schedule.

ps. WeedWrapperMan's got a point, i dont think it will be a problem
