Looks to me like manganese issue. He's prob overlapping a nutrient.
What's he using for nutes?

 

[darwinsbulldog]

he's using THC A and B nutrient fert and a bit of aquasol.

Is that soil its in? If so just top layr some guano and hold off on the nutes a little til that thing gets a little bigger and just ease it back in there in low doses. Something is overlapping. Look at the bottles and double check what's in the nutes.

I shook up the magic 8 ball and it says to "ask again later". What can I say, this would be a little easier with more information.

sorry if this is a stupid question msd, but what do you mean by something's overlapping? cheers.

I mean if its in soil its getting all sorts of nutes, and with adding nutes it could be getting an od of something.

ah ok thanks, yeah well it's in soil only, there're others in mostly coco with a little soil, but yeah that one's in soil only, with blood n bone as the organic nutes. he hasn't gone over board with the chemical nutes, ph is 6.5ish. i've a feeling though that the plant may've sucked all the nutes out of the blood and bone and he's not using enough nutes, but it's look fine but for the manganese def like symptoms. so i'm not sure.

it's just really frustrating we've tried a few different methods, soil and coco and always seem to be getting sick plants. is there a fool proof brilliant way of doing it that insures perfectly healthy plants, like a video or book etc that outlines EXACTLY what to use, how much of what and when etc so any layman can do well, or it's just a learned thing over time and everyone has these issues?

The pictures are so blurry it's kinda hard to tell. My first concern was nutrient lockup, namely one of the less required nutrients like copper, boron, manganese, something to that effect. Then again, without more detailed resolution, I can't rule out a phosphorus burn starting up. Lastly, my mind turned to lumen/light burn. If that leaf got brushed accidentally with a hot CFL, or maybe the reflector is creating a hot spot, then that can cause these issues. Since it's designated to a single soil plant, and not the coco plants, then I'm guessing it's some kind of pH related nutrient issue. I wish I could be of more help.

If you're vegging them I don't understand why you'd be using bone meal anyway, unless there was a deficiency.

 

[msd828]

Switch to advanced nutes and you will clear up any nute problems in my opinion.
Also bone meal is cool and all, but its not really a heavy source of nutirents as much as it is a ph buffer..

no problem i've switched to full strength chemical nutrients, so hopefully that does the trick. how often should i be feeding it/how much? once every few days and 100mil max each time?
