About 4 months old. A month ago she was looking beautiful in veg was preflowering but the,leaves were getting light. I transplanted to 6 gal bucket thinking she was root bound.. Went with organic soil (pic of content attached) and 2 weeks later the leaves are showing light spots and the oldest, largest fan leaves have brown/black oval shaped spots and I see hints of yellow hues emerging throughout leaves. Purple candystripe and "bleeding" into petioles, which I thought were from my LST . She was doing so well. I know she wants to flower, but Im fored to finish this outdoors. Anyone know if the soil content is insufficient or what symptoms are pointing too. pH? Nutes (Manganese)? Thanks for the help.

The soil looks dry and it looks like its drooping, how often do you water and feed and how/how much?

Hey bud. I saturated it just 2-3 day's ago. The So Cal sun dries the light soIL real quick. But if poking my finger, it's damp at about 1 1/2". Normally saturate 2x per week.

Tap water, boiled off. I have a 3 way test kit for alkalinity, but haven't checked. Probably around 7.8 out of tap. I thought boiling 1st, along with pH of soil would keep it close. What are your thoughts about dark spots? The droop happened prior to transplant. Fan leaves got light. That's why I changed soil and upsized pot.

You need to addmsome acid to bring the ph down to around 6.5, above 7 ph locks out nutrients and causes the spots.

I'll give it a try and report back Doc. I used to have a swimming pool biz, so I understand alkalinity. I will prepare water for lower pH. Only thing is, I've used the same water throughout the growth phase. But, will start there. Thanks bud.
