i think you could have over fert them if you did it twice in one week dont fert them fer 2 weeks and see if that helps is it on all the leaves or any of the new growth?

ya its on pretty much all the leaves unfortunatly not as much on new growth but im pretty sure its still thier think i should flush?

[smoke.purp]

should check your Ph level before flushing

[seekanddestroy4]

well like i said before its an outdoor grow, i thought maybe phosphorous deficiency too, but based on the normal ph and the fact that i fed jacks classic blooming fert which is high in phosphorous twice in one week two weeks ago im not sure. You think its been too long since ive gave my babies nutes? in my past experience while blooming i used blooming fert very sparingly, should i use more? ahh this is confusing me haha

[seekanddestroy4]

ahh its getting worse. it just so happends my largest yielding baby is the most affected one

[smoke.purp]

flush your plant very well and wait a day or three and give a very very low solution of nutes

i was just inspecting my plant, i found a spider that had an egg sack on it that webbed up some of the leaves, doubt that that was the problem but just throwing this into the mix , definitely gunna flush today , spray some insecticidal soap this evening and wait it out a few days, thanks for the good advice smoke.purp

i flushed yesterday, hoping to see some improvement, these feminised aks have been nothing but trouble, not such a good outdoor strain i suppose. Anyone else have any secondary opinions on this one?
