    I am growing 13 bubblegum and 3 white widow plants. Lately, on our older leaves, we have noticed a rusty color on the margins as well as tips. In our newer leaves, we have noticed the occasional “backward” leaf. Hopefully the pics below can illustrate what I mean. If anyone knows whats causing this stuff, please shed some light!! <o:p></o:p>

    for the most part, the canopy looks like this:

    So, I'm hoping for the most part that things look good. This is pretty much my first grow, so maybe I'm being too anal. Anyway, if someone can shed some light on what's going on with my ladies, that would be sweet!

    Thanks,
    Matt
