help! plant problem

[Stoney_Maloney]

3 weeks before harvest day, my plants hit trouble. same happened my last 3 grows with different strains. i need help identifying the problem. it starts with little speckles along where the veins are and spreads from the tip inwards. the veins become heavily speckled and it spreads into the middle of the leaf.
i have flushed now for over a week with correct PH water. but no improvement. plants are due on 14th december so only 11 days left. on some plants most of the leaves are badly effected so im worried.
maybe i should just harvest them now!

my plan is to add epsom salts to the next flush.
it looks like ozone damage but ive no generator etc.
or maybe ph lockout but ive corrected with no joy....
nute burn should be improving at this stage...
the tall left hand side plant in the pic doesnt have this yet but its a sativa and its 4-5 weeks to go.

i have looked under a microscope for pests but no pests seen.



any ideas on whats causeing this and how should i proceed?

Bro I am not sure wtf is going on the pics u put up are not so clean with the hps light on.But it could be a few things Gnats attacking your roots not on the plant it self but in your coco/soil I wouldn't worry about trying to fix it since your only 11 days away If I where u I would just flush really good the next week with flora klean or dip clean and harvest a lil early so at least you have something to puff on u know what I am saying. Start new fresh make sure everything is clean and get your self some dunks or Gonats...And if you are using tap water with out letting it sit over nite before u use it can also make the plant look like this cuz of all the bleach tap water has get your self some ro water and flush with that.Good luck bro.

They look almost done looking at bud size alone...start flushing them with just water and harvest when they're ready.

Yeah, since your'e headed to home plate, I wouldn't do anything. Just check the bud sites for any contamination.

Looking at bud size is completely useless in determining ripeness... Calyx size, maybe, but you can't see individual calyx in those pics. The three weeks left is roughly 1/3 of your flowering cycle, imho no time to start ignoring issues. Looks like they're running out of K and Mg a tad early to me. In my grow I'll feed plants that tend to show these deficiencies nutrient solution made up of only the bloom component from GH flora series, no micro or grow. and only flush with plain H2O for the last 8 or 10 days. That way the plant can metabolize the elements that interfere with flavor and burn, without suffering from Mg/K def.

Also keep a close eye out, since necrotic tissue invites pathogens in.

in my experience...

btw, It is hard to tell readily what is up due to the color of the lighting in the pics.

thanks for the input. 10 days to go now im just gona flush them and harvest i guess.
i dont think its direct neut deficiency because i have a lanky thursty sativa "willie nelson" which is still doing well beside these smaller "sweet tooth". i think its root gnats and they were in the soil when i bought it. the last 3 grows i used the same soil supplier and wasnt much bothered making a perfect grow medium. i guess im getting lazy

root bugs can definitely look like a K/Mg problem.

They "looked done" judging by the shitty picture...the guy confirmed 10 days to go. Close enough... Just trying to help the guy out as best I can with LITTLE info. Don't have time to analyze every little detail you know.

Never seen you here in the infirmary before...any particular reason you picked THIS thread and that ONE reply out of ALL the threads here? In ALL this time?

Go hassle someone else...go stalk someone else.

To the OP...sorry you had to see that...head and I have a "history".

He DOES know how to grow though...listen to his advice. He's a perfectionist...know that up front. I grow to get medicine...not to take pictures. Easy and cheap.

WOW...

No need for you to insult the original poster by cursing about his pics.
The guy knew they were almost done, so your comment about them looking to be almost done was to...?

When helping people out, analyzing the details can be critical.

If you've never seen me giving out sick plant advice, then you have not payed very close attention.

I'm not 'hassling' anyone, I'm simply pointing out the fact of the matter that the size of the buds is nothing near a reliable way to judge finishing time, and giving the OP a more complete response.

Thanks for your semi-compliments about my gardening... I just want to grow the largest amount of the most potent smoothest smoking herb I am able to... and occasionally help others do so too.
