i would like to put her into flower, but not looking like this

i just switched my babie from soil to hydro....
would it be too stressful to switch to flowering now? maybe wait like a week?

is it normal for hairs to be turning brown during the early preflowering stages?

also, what are these spots on my plant? bugs? fungus? wtf? i've asked around alot and looked around alot.. if you can tell me i'll give you a cookie. see pic: http://i274.photobuc...cs/DSCN2145.jpg

(just for clarification.. i want to know what the black/brown spots are.. the white spots are from a garlic insect repellent i use)


thanks!

Okie dokie, First it seems the brown spots are burn marks from the plant getting water on it while its either in the sun or under HID lights. Lemme guess, outdoor plant? So try to find out if either you or somehow a sprinkler or something is getting your plant wet during the daylight. It seems to only affect a few leaves so I think your good. As for the pistills turning brown early it is normal, sorta. The first set of calyx's and pistills commonly called pre-flowers are located in the "crotch" of the side branches coming off the main stem.Commonly where they first appear. These will die off and turn brown fairly early on as the rest of the pistills growing on the growth tips will only have maybe 1 or 2 brown hairs early on while the rest are white. Hope I was able to help, good luck.

you could be right on the burn spots.. probably from short, heavy rain showers followed by partly cloudyness. been having a bunch of those days.

and i'm glad that the brown hairs are normal.. i was worried for a while.

thanks, mate.

hey im doing indoor grow and im have the same prob, one of the leaves has a brown spot on the jaged part of it,its just a small brown spot, is it from puting water on it when the lamp is on or is it dying? the rest of the plant looks healthy.

cool i shouldnt be to worried about it then, heres what she looks like, it kinda looks wimpy shouldnt have more branches on it then this its 3 weeks old. im new to this but ive seen plants as old as mine and they have lots of leaves and more branches then mine. tell me what u think.

hey i have a three month old plant at is outdoors and has only grown to about 7 inches so far its shown its sex to be female its just really small, its gotten a pretty regular supply of water as well as good sunlight. there are no dying or yellowing leaves, theres a picture on my thread 'dwarf plant/3 months' any advice?
