I will preface this with I am new and color deficient. So the rich emerald green the books describe, I may just not be seeing correctly. But I believe I am seeing yellow spots appearing on some of my bigger leaves, while I know that is rather vague. Maybe someone can offer some further symptoms to look out for or to pair with the yellow spots. I planted the seeds directly into fox farm ocean forest soil, we are at week 4.5 and the plant looks bushy and healthy. I am just afraid the yellow spots are a sign of doom. Thank you for reading.

Can you post a picture?

Might be a touch of calcium deficiency or a ph/root issue. I suspect it’s ph related. What is your PH?

[Mustang6710]

My runoff ph is between 6.5 and 6.8

Most of the rest of the leaves are a vibrant green and seem pretty happy

I had a similar problem with plants from these seeds in the past: homegrowncannabisco
But when I adjusted my growing methods, that problem disappeared, and my plants are just perfect now.
I also think it’s a slight calcium deficiency

[Mustang6710]

Thank you both for the response. I actually just re-read the part in the book that mentioned more calcium may be needed under LED lights.

Was wondering about using diluted honey to provide calcium and other essential nutrients… thoughts?

I wouldn’t look at honey for any real source of minerals or nutrients.

[Mustang6710]

Thank you for that.

Next question: I am growing a feminized autoflower bubblegum. It has been 6 and a half weeks since sprouting and I am not seeing any white pistil forming. I will include a photo below, but is there a general time frame that I should be concerned with not seeing signs of flowering? And at that point do I assume the autoflower was in error and change the light cycle?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>6 weeks would be the max window I’d expect to see an auto start flower. Sounds like erroneously labeled genetics, or just straight up deceit.</p>
