what i was saying it that this is most likely from the plant lacking a specific element or from the ph being out of whack. wait and see if ANY MORE leaves get holes in them. if they do and your ph is not really high or really low then they need more food. micro nutrients. not sure which one specifically. but look on the back of the label for the plant food you are using. whichever one has the most elements listed on the back use more of that one.
 
Well I'm pulling then round slowly, they needed more feed my ph was too high and the air too dry. I've been spending 20 mins 3 times a day and sorted the ph out to 6.0. Things seem to be on the up that's the main thing. I'll update a pic in next few days.

Thanks for the advice.
 
A week a major humidity rise and hard work all seems to be on the mend.
My ph also was all over the place so with straightening that out to a flat 6.0 and a good flush I've seen good results.
I've got a photo dairy on here if anyone wants a peek.
I've also taken on a exodus cheese, I could not see a little one goto waste and pop

I can't say what caused the holes in the leaves. But the vivid yellow marks on the leaves in the last picture on the first page is what happens if the roots get a bit dry after adding a chemical feed.

Yeah dude, they live in a very dry room which I'm doing everything I can to change that. I've bowls of water a wet towel and i use a 1.5 ltr spray to mist them every night. They've pulled round a hell of a lot in the past 8 days so hopefully onwards and upwards from now on.

a humidifier might be useful.
you can take a sprinkler valve wire it to a 12 volt transformer plug that into a humidistat. put a water hose or line to the sprinkler valve from the line put a fogger on it. when humidity drops valve turns on fogger nozzle til desired humidity is achieved and then shuts off. relatively cheap prescision humidity control. everything mentioned can be aquired at home depot and requires no eletrician skills. two wires (four if you want to save$$ and wire your own humiditstat istead of buying a plug in model) and a couple garden hose couplers.
approx price
humidistat 40-120 depending how crafty you are with wiring gadgets vs buying a plug and go model.
valve $ 11-$ 18
transformer 10-14
2 garden hose couplers 3$ -$4
2 garden hoses$30
fogger nozzle 5- 20 bucks depending on what you try.
extenion cord 5 bucks
turn of as the lastcouple weeks show dense flowers and use lots of air movers so you dont get wet zones.

As long as the roots don't dry out mate they should be fine. Those bright yellow marks are what happens when the roots dry, the salts quickly concentrate, and the plant burns as a result. Plants can cope with low humidity if the nutes (especially nitrogen) aren't too high and the roots don't get dry.

Btw, have you checked properly for thrips? They're quite hard to see unless you really inspect the underside of the leaf.

I'm now in my 3rd week of flower things are looking good now, crowned after 11 days and they are now nice little lady's.
I ended up sitting with the girls a hour 3 times a day to bring the hum up.
I'll post a pic see what you guys think.
