Help spots on my leaves

Tribe_fanatic

I have spots on my leaves of my plants. I would guess that it is fertilizer based but I have not switched anything and have them both in the flowering plants and the veg plants. I have included a pic off one of the flowering plants but you can only see them a little bit. Any help would be appreciated.

Tribe, Sorry, but need to put you under the bright KGB spotlight to answer some questions....


What are you using for nutrients? Are they in soil or hydro? What is the Ph of the water you've been feeding them? Is it tap water, rain water or RO?

What ISO asked. My preliminary WAG, is pH issue locking out something. Or, Mg or Mn. But, please don't go by me. ISO can and will help.

Thanks for the help, I am using Bio Grow, Bio Bloom and Top Maxx. RO water is the supply source. I have been using these same ingredients including the water all along, with good results and healthy plants. Keep in mind that this is happening in both the flower and veg plants. RO filter need changed? Been about 4-5 mos. since I last changed it and I usually get about 9 mos. out of them. Thanks again for the help.

Ok more details.
First its a soil grow.
Second, I'm on well water for source however I do run through a RO system.
Third, I have a water softener and the RO system is after the softener, could it be a salt issue in the water?
Fourth, The nutes and water have been the same as long as I have been growing, which has been awhile.
The plants seem to be growing and flowering ok but I have never had this issue before. Could it be heat related, as temps here in the north have finally gotten warm? This is the first year of flowering at my site so I dont have previous years experience but have ran the veg cab for years without a problem.
Thanks TF

This may be stating the obvious but have you checked for spidermites? The look like tiny white bugs, check on the bottom of the leaves...

Hey Tribe Fanatic,As I follow you ,the water is from the well to the softener and then the R/O.Ok this is what I think happen,Your r/o fitlers have been in service for 5 mos. and the softener gets change more than the R/O filters.fresh change softener puts a alot in the water and the R/O fitler didnt get every last bit and it is locking up some micro and other elements and salt build up.Try hooking up the well water straight to the R/O with new fitlers and see what the TDS is.The R/O is working hard to get all that salt out and it showing you.The salt builds up fast in soil and water in warmer temps.If that works for you,you can get hard water micro to add to your nutr.If you got a TDS pen keep a eye on the TDS of the water. Hope that helps. Peace

That could be it....I'll run the tubing after the acid filter and before the softener this weekend. The acid filter removes the iron from the water, so its almost imperitive to have in line before the RO. What should I do to relieve the lockout that the salt has caused?

Sorry forgot to answer Ganja...There may be bugs on some of you mugs but there aint no bugs on me...lol thanks for the thought. I did a preventative treatment as soon as I saw the spots to make sure of no pests. (pymetherine (sp?) and neem oil, as well as an aerosol bomb)

I had a similar issue with a water softener.. I flushed my plants with 3x the pot size of fresh spring water. (if it is in a 12oz cup.. flush it with 36 oz of water) One recovered nicely and another is struggling to keep one foot out of the grave.
