brown blotches on bud leaves

Konon · #1 (**permalink**) 02-01-2008, 07:19 PM

I've got 6 plants currently growing under a 600w HPS 2 weeks away from harvest. I'm growing 4 different strains. 2 ice cream, 2 shaman, 1 ice, 1 white rhino. Both my shaman plants have brown splotches on the bud leaves. None of my other plants have these, and its only the bud at the top of the plants. pH is 5.8-6.0. temps are fine. Currently using distilled water with 1.5 teapsoon/gal. to flush until harvest. Grown in hydro.

I was thinking a boron def. but i could only find one picture of it with a google search and it looks like what I have but I don't want to mis diagnose it. I'll get some pics up later.

for a hydro setup, id keep your pH 5.9 or below although with a chemical flush, you could have waited to start flushing till a good 5 days before harvest. with you flushing now, and by chance your problem is a nute def. (assuming it is, kinda hard to guess without pics) your problem wont really be ble to be fixed while you're flushing close to harvest.

but still 2 weeks away, i might give it a moderate dose of micro nutes to try to correct any micro nute issues. then chemical flush 5 days before harvest, and stop watering. you should be ok
