let me know if you find out what those rust spots are/were. I only ask because I had the same problem. I think in my case it might have been nute burn? or maybe it was PH lockout of some specific nutrient. I've been shifting back and forth between PH Lockout and Nute burn for a few weeks now, as I am a first timer, but now that I know what i've been doing wrong I think I can avoid repeating the same mistakes.

ph of runoff = 6.7

ph of reverse osmosis water plus organic molasses = 6.8

started the flush as i was using chemical nutes. i think my rust spots were caused by a bit of nute burn, due to the molasses acting as a chelating agent, suddenly more nutes were available...either way its not getting worse or affecting the overall health of the plants. i'm just gonna let them do their thing and hopefully they will finish themselves out

here's a bit at day 42 for you lurkers. i'm not even sure why i've kept up this grow diary...hopefully a few people are still following along. Either way the lack of responses has really been quite sad.

why didnt you tie the taller plant down to the same level as the other one? or at least raise the smaller one.
as for your lack of responses, looking at veging plants or plants early in flower is boring. most people will just look at the pictures (like me) and make comments when your nearly finished.

enjoyed the thread, hopefully you continue to update.

what are your cab measurements? great job on a first grow, my first grow was one plant and it never looked as good as your plants do.

the taller plant is tied down so much you might think that she enjoys s&m. she stretched out of her moorings on three occassions. i raised the shorter plant but it ended up getting more light on a lower level where the taller plant wasn't arching right over it.

so what you are saying is people offer no comments/criticism/tips until it is too late to implement them, then criticise you for not acting on the tips hahaha.

Lord Fatwa - thanks for the kind words, and for stopping by, the fun really gets started now.

HerbGlaze - just get her something she wants, like that new bathroom. worked for me ;) haha

Greenmonster417 - i will yield at the very least 1.5 oz's per plant it looks like, i'd say thats pretty decent for a 150w lamp, i'm impressed with its performance anyway. it was $59 so it doesn't really matter hahaha

stealth baller - thanks man, appreciate it :) glad you decided to stop by and i'll be updating again :) cab measurments are 20" deepx 32" wide x 65" tall

glad you kept up this thread bro, your plants look beautiful...im also working on my first grow, well I did one from bagseed and I never let it finish because it was really crappy bud so I culled it to make room for my Pollen Chuck and Sweet Tooth plant heh I got a couple more weeks goin on them and Im getting really anxious...I still havent gotten my veg/flower boxes setup yet as I ran into some legal problems and dont have the funds to get what I need to finish up my hydro setup, but it hasnt stopped me from flowerin off some of my seeds in soil heh :rasta: ....lookin forward to seein if that 24hr of darkness makes any difference....also I seen you mention the Habs earlier in the thread, you a fellow Canuck aswell?

neways man I got this thread tagged and I"ll be stopping in again to see how your harvest goes :), take it easy my friend :wave:
