Help. Spotting. 3-4 Weeks Flower

[LostInTheTranslation]

Need help identifying these spots that popped up the 3rd week into flower. Flushed week 3 with FloraKleen, fish shit. Growing in FFHF with 2 gallon pot. After flush dried I water with Head Masta (1ml in a gallon), fish shit (3ml in gallon), botanicare cal mag 5ml in gallon) and water to 20% runoff. Lights are viparspectra xs1000 set at 18”. Room is staying at 78 degrees 40% humidity and I have a ex xl co2 bag in a sealed room plus have 12” hurricane wall mounted oscillating fan set at lowest speed and phat filter 6x20 running off Ac infinity T6 set on 8” for smell. Disregard the hole in the leaf which was caused by me. I’ve checked for bugs, root rot and slurry test after flush was a 5.6 PH. Might just be bad genetics but I am at a lost.

well let’s start of with easy stuff..
take a pic of the plants in the pots..
you could have root bound issues..
and or watering issues..

Floor is not cold. I have them elevated off of the floor. Root temps are at 73-75F. Photos are little old since I can’t get any photos right now. I can take more later. Honestly I think has to do with the FF tiger bloom I started using a week into flower…. That’s stuff is salty. What could I do to cross root bound off the list since I don’t think it’s rot bc I’d smell it.

i’m curious to see how big the plants are compared to your 2 gallon pot…
if it’s not wet than tip one upside down and slide it out, quickly see if roots are a nice whiteish colour and is it rootbound.

I'm gonna tell you right now your feed mix is off and it's creating problems.
I'm not a hydro guy so I'm going to holler for @Dirtbag @Aqua Man @Frankster and I know one of them will know. Hidden chemical Jean-u-suses.

I see @GNick55 is in here too, He's good.

FFHF? Did you balance your feed with whats already in the soil so that you don't throw off the pH by over feeding some thing but not others?
This is why, if you want to feed the plant, use coco and perlite, forget the soil.

come on in!!!
i’m just taking the watering issue way of things first as i kinda see a couple rings around some of the dark coloured spots, possibly leaf septoria?

Fox Farm Happy Frog. Yes balanced to 6.5 whenI fed with tiger bloom once during the first week of flower. I’m thinking for the rest of the grow I’m going to ditch tiger since I transplanted into a 2 gallon with extra soil 4 weeeks ago

 

[GNick55]

mmm it seems like so many issues include that tiger bloom stuff at least on here it’s pop up a few times..
not sure if it has anything to do with your issue, but no worries we’ll figure it out

Wrong color for septoria in this case. This presents as an imbalance in the feed.

The following is my understanding and has nothing to do with science, just what I've seen over the years of doing this.

When the pH is off the plant can not take up the nutrient correctly, and further, I think it's also difficult for the plant to distribute the nutes that it did get. So some places on the most hungry leaves are going to be short of nutes and will dry out, or possibly collect more waste products. This changes the color. What color tells you what direction to look. A brown, wilty look is likely a fungus, a light almost orange is K... you get the idea.

Tiger Bloom? Yeah, that stuff is getting a bad rap. I'd drop it or cut the amount to 1/4 of what the charts say. I cut all charts by 75% anyway. They are rigged to make you use up the product as fast as you can without killing your plant.

I’ll check if it’s dried out a little once I get back from drinking lol and see if I can pull it out of the pot. I was thinking it was a root issue with a miss feed issue

My PH was 5.3 and I immediately flushed with FloraKleen and got it up to 5.6 but still need to get it up so I’ve cut out the tiger bloom and only using CalMag and Fish shit until I get my PH right

well maybe just transplant to be on the safe side and too help you get to the end easier,
it probably needs it, not ideal in flower but…

if you got a buddy or wife there to help get them to quickly take a picture of the roots and post here..

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Look at the ingredients of the Happy Frog. Post a pic please.
