post pictures of full plants as well and are these in pots or in the ground?My plants are outdoors and the only one not doing very well is my Bubba Kush. It is smaller than the other plants and appears to have some deficiencies. I initially suspected it was a nitrogen and calcium deficiency, which could be the case. I have been feeding it more nutes, I also read online that Bubba Kush has higher nutrient requirements than most other strains so it makes sense it acquired a deficiency. They say it needs higher amounts of nitrogen, calcium, and magnesium especially.
It also could be from pests maybe but my other plants are right next to it and look much more healthy, so I doubt it's bugs. It has also been on the same nutrient regimen as the other plants, until just a week or two ago when I began feeding it extra. It has improved but still not where I want it to be. Most of the leaves look fine now but so.e still look unhealthy. I attached a few pics of problem leaves. They were wet when I took the pic which is why they have a shine to them. They are light green with lots it tiny yellow specks or white specks and some brown spots or brown tips.
Two plants are in pots and two are in the groundpost pictures of full plants as well and are these in pots or in the ground?
Been using Bush doctor calmag. My soil mixture also contains alot of Coast of Maine Lobster Compost which is high in calciAre you using Calmag?
I have well water. Every time i give them nutes I give them fish sh!t (beneficial bacteria) and sometimes unleash. When transplanting I used great white shark mychorizzae and beneficial bacteria. I feed once or twice per week.It looks like a calcium problem to me as well. What is the super soul?
I'm thinking bumping up your soil microbes should help break down the lobster compost and make it more plant available.
Boil 1 Potato in a liter of rain water until mushy. Blend water and potato in blender.
Dump in a bucket. Add 2 nice handfuls of the best garden soil you have available.
add 2 L rain water and mix well. Cover and set in the sun for 2 days.
When it's all foamy bubbles on top it's ready to use. Mix 10 rain water to 1 microbe solution.
Strain it into your watering can so the soil does not plug up the holes.
Water with this once a week for the rest of your grow.
If you have to use city water make sure and off gas it at least 48 hrs or the chlorine in it will kill all the microbes your trying to grow.
I'm saying though I give it lots of microbes already. Fish Sh!t is a beneficial microbe product and they all get it once a week. I usually use Unleash as well. And also used great white shark while transplanting.You have a pretty nice setup.
Why the fancy potting mix? Your doing kind of a hybrid grow.
No need for the fox farm or Root organics at all. Almost nothing purchased you have everything right there.
Watch a few of Nate's Videos and hit your Bubba Kush with microbe Solution once or twice a week for the rest of it's grow.
This is just a big plant in a pot that's to small for the indigenous life in the soil to keep up to.
I would not suggest that you add any more dressings at this time. Just give this plant Microbial solution and water.
I'd also suggest that you hit all of your plants with wood ash solution as described.
Really soak it good twice a week and see what happens.

You could start with this in the ground or pot.
Hit the soil with some bone meal as described.
Then feed with anything in the first link.
I use a lot of Chicken poo JLF for a nitrogen boost.
You could make up a drum of JLF pretty quick. Dump in a 20L bucket of Microbe solution. Then throw in all your wast material from this years grow and water with it next season.
Super deluxe cannabis fertilizer!

I just told you what the problem is with the plant and how to fix it. If you actually want to help your plant. Watch all of the videos I sent you, there are about 20 of them. Throw all that junk in the trash can. All the best bud hope you figure it out.
firstly it’s not a nutrient issue especially not a calmag one..
geezus the advice @Imzzaudae gives is absolutely horrendous..
if anything that plant has become root bound which will affect the nitrogen/nutrient uptake, than weakening the immune system making it perfect for pest, mildew, viroids etc to infect the plant..
so curious what size pot is it in?
has it been sitting out during all the rain storms this year?
I have been seeing some cucumber beetles here and there, that could be part of it. There is some pests but not a serious infestation. The other plants in the same garden also have the same types of insect visitors and are overall doing much better. There isn't a serious infestation on any of my plants. I check on them every few hours, so like 5 times a day, because I work from home as a software engineer and I'm always home. Every two or three hours I go outside to check on my chickens and check on my plants, so I'm quite well aware of if there are pest problems or powdery mildew or anything like that.Have you done a close up inspection for any pests?

I suspect bugs might be the culprit but it's a tough sell since it doesn't have a serious infestation and the other plants are exposed to the same bugs and don't seem to mind. I have been using neem oil and trifecta integrated pest management. I also spray with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 3 parts water to prevent powdery mildew. I stopped using neem last week because it can affect taste of buds and now I'm in flowering. Trifecta can be used a little longer because it breaks down more quickly but have to cut that off soon too. I don't want to overdo the trifecta or peroxide, but we did get powdery mildew here last year and I don't want it again. It doesn't help that my landlady put her squash plants right next to my cannabis plants. Squash plants are extremely prone to powdery mildew, which is probably why she put them next to mine instead of next to hers.
drainage holes in that bucket?
that’s different types of powdery mildew..
rootbound will cause a nutrient deficiency look along with those tiny specks and some of those mis-shaped leaves..,
peroxide also can cause those specks also mites and thrips..
though if you read up/research HLVd could be that, as that viroid has infected pretty much everything especially anything kush.,
okThere are drainage holes in the bucket, it was a 30 gallon container that I bought from a grow shop.
I'm 100% positive the problem was not caused by being root bound. It was not root bound when I transplanted it from the solo cup to the 30 gallon pot back in late June. The problem was most severe during July, particularly early July. At this point, the problem exists, but is mostly resolved.
Is it possible for a plant that was in a solo cup to become root bound within 2 weeks of being transplanted into a 30 gallon pot? I think it is impossible - 30 gallons is a ton of soil. I do add mycos and rooting hormone when I transplant to stimulate the roots but even still they will not fill 30 gallons of soil in less than 2 weeks even with that extra boost. At this point, the roots are probably mostly filling out the container. However, the problem was most severe the first 2 weeks after being transplanted and at this point it has improved alot, it has been steadily improving the past few weeks. If the cause was being root bound, it should be gradually getting worse. Also, if the cause was being root bound, it wouldn't have begun until AT LEAST 2 weeks after being transplanted - because plants never become root bound on the same exact day that you transplant them into a large container.
Could be from peroxide, but then why wouldn't other plants get the specks? Maybe the Bubba kush could be more sensitive to the peroxide. It probably isn't peroxide but I consider it a much more likely possibility than being caused by root binding. I have also seen neem oil burn plant leaves.
I will do some more research on that virus. Could definitely be that, I have been hearing about it lately.
There are some things that I know it is not (like being root bound or lacking Microbial life) but some things it definitely could be (viral, nutrient deficiency, pests, peroxide, neem oil). It is also very possible that it is a combination of multiple factors. I appreciate you guys helping me out - I don't agree with every single opinion but I like to get many opinions and weigh each one. There's often times more than one cause so I like to hear different people's points of
The hlvd thing might definitely be it. Have to do more research to be sure but I'm worried that could be it.
