Way to work on getting it dialed in! That’s what this is all about! I just thought it looked like a calcium deficiency in the pictures! But I don’t know much more about it than you do! Don’t listen to me! I will lead you straight into the compost pile! L O L! But nobody else was piping up! I think any Cal mag will do! Whatever’s easiest to get! If you wanna give it a try! It’s not very toxic! L O L

Just a guess, but it's got to be in the roots, or mold.
Also I run my humidity at 50 % the whole gro.
Also, next medium you might want to use a proven soil. I've had 0 problems with anything. Seed, soil, and correct lighting is your ticket. If any one of them 3 is not sufficient your asking for trouble. I'm trying to help, I'm not trying to lecture you. Later

This is a very helpful thread. And I’m loving the glory days discussion. When I was in HS weed possession was a felony punishable by 2-10 years and/or a $20,000 fine. Most of the time, the judge would offer the option of military service.
So a bunch of kids got shipped to Southeast Asia to drop freedom on the locals.

Not seeing any mold : ) but second pic large sugar leaf, two little white spots?

I think what you're seeing there is a water droplets from me filling the humidifier it wiped off. Thanks for your reply.

I am using Happy Frog potting soil from Fox Farm which I thought is a proven soil from what I read, of course that doesn't make it so because I read it. I think the plants got nutrient lock out and were not breathing properly. But hey, I'm about as novice as I can get about these things. I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it, thank you.

I split mine 40 % ocean, 40 % frog, and 10 % miracle gro. I don't know how I came up with that idea, but it kicks ass. And, lotus nutrients. Grow, bloom, and boost. Works perfectly if you follow the card.

"Straight into the compost pile!" LOL I don't thinks so. None of it is easy to get I stopped driving 4 years ago, way to many crazy people on the roads for me, so everything is ordered on line.

This grow has been quite the learning experience. I wish the out come were better but it is what it is. Notes made for the next grow, thanks.

One more note. I try and use the biggest medium possible. More soil more buds. And, more soil compensates for any watering mistakes. Ok I'm done. I'm just trying to help you succeed.

I'm using 5 gallon cloth pots. When I looked at the tent it said up to three plants. There is no way that can happen. While I don't know much about training I don't think there is enough room for that with two plants. Succeeding is my goal in life, but I better pick up the pace, time is running out, lol.

Nothing wrong with happy frog! But it helps To add about 25% perlite to it otherwise it’s pretty dense! I’ve been reusing happy frog And Ocean Forest for the last four years! Off-season amending! Perlite is your friend! Big time!

I just used it out of the bag. No mixing. Do you mix Ocean Forest with the Happy Frog and then add the 25% perlite? I do not plan on reusing this soil. To many mistakes.

 

[Oldchucky]

I would! Yeah you can mix them! I got to the point where buying new soil wasn’t an option! I am outdoors in 35 gallon pots! But indoors is a different ball game! You guys can afford to start new every year!

Oh I didn't know you were outside. Understandable with 35 gallon pots that could be an expensive proposition. Do you mix the two in even amounts?

 

[Oldchucky]

It’s probably 90% ocean forest! Mainly use happy frog for starting them! Then standard amendments in the off-season! When I get off my lazy ass and do it right, I get decent Results! But I am like you! Every grow might be my last! L O L

Wrong there. I'm going to grow until I die. And, I'm going to live to 125, so I'll be an expert by then. Lol

In next month I will be 79. For all I know this grow is my last. I will say that reflecting on the condition of the world and the inability of mankind to evolve away from trying to destroy each other, I have say I'm damn glad I'm old.

Ya it damn sure isn't easy making it this long. I've have a lot of battle scars. About 500 stitches, 7 operations, multiple broken bones. I lived a full life.17 years of hockey, 8 years in the Navy, and a wild man ! So, ya it's not easy getting here. I feel bad for kids that never make it to an adult. Sad !
