So I found my CBD Girl Scout Cookies has what looks like good dust on the leaves shown in the picture. The same thing is starting in other areas of the plant. Can anyone tell me what I may have going on here?
Fox Farms
@bangswitch2a could be spider-mites dude. Check em with a scope and take a look under side of the leaves and see if there’s any activity there.
@backblast I'll take a look in the morning. Just got to work of course. Stupid plant issues.
@bangswitch2a wouldn’t worry too much whatever it is I’m sure there’s someone on the forum with the knowledge to correct it 👍🏻
@bangswitch2a is the soil constantly damp by any chance? It's not calmag from what I can see, you would expect more of a rust colour like what Viking had. This looks more like it's too wet in the root zone, yet your not getting a wilt off that you would normally start to see. This leads me more in the direction of a deficiency or an issue with the ph in the medium. This can be a few things, being you are in soil what boosters are you giving it at feeding? I have seen "organic" boosters increase the soils salt content and lock out nutrients too. If I was going to point at one deficiency in particular I'm leaning towards potassium. Again though if your PH is out of whack it is highly likely it is locking out the potassium.
@bubblehok so my soil isn't overly wet. I water about every 3 to 4 days. I alturnate feeding every other watering. When I feed I am using Fox Farms Tiger Bloom (2-8-4). I don't have a PH reader, but one should be here from Amazon tomorrow. I also ordered Fox Farms Beastie Bloom (0-50-30).
Maybe the start of powdery mildew and the lighting is giving it a gold hue.
I had powdery mildew on my first grow. I don't think that's it. I am by no means an expert on any of this. So I am absolutely willing to learn everything I can.
I clipped a leaf with the issued described. I scoped the bottom and didn't see anything. I also scoped the top of the leaf where you can see the issue. Please see photo. I really hope someone can help me identify what is going on here.
Is it getting worse or has it stabilized?

@monkeydo I'm not certain. It may be starting on a couple other plants as well. The only thing I can think of is I top dressed 3 plants with a different soil about 5 days ago. I fear something was in that soil.
But my Cali Cowboy Grow off diary plants has the same soil as what I top dressed my other plants with. There is no sign of issues with both Strawberry Coughs. So I'm puzzled.
I'll update more soon. I just got off of a 14 hour shift and I'm wiped.
Looks scarily similar to what I had going on in veg and I successfully treated it with Epsom foliar spray. You're wayyyy to far to be spraying salt on the plant. Mine had started getting spotty on the weekend and @bubblehok said to increase the calmag so I've added extra and will let you know the results
@improper_weed_viking I'll try to post more photos soon. I think mine looks a bit different than what yours looked like in my opinion. I don't know....
I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s probably a calcium deficiency but I’m not certain why it started. Again, ima coco grower but here’s my reasoning.
In this picture you posted, the leaves on the lower left area have some yellowing. The yellowing begins at the center vein and gets greener near the edges. As the deficiency progresses the the brown/gold color starts. Eventually the plant robs so much calcium from those leaves that areas begin to turn brown and die.
In contrast to the magnesium deficiency picture left by IWV
Almost looks the same at first glance but in the magnesium deficiency, the center vein is darker and the outer edges are turning yellow. The symptoms start opposite of each other but eventually both result in brown rust spots on the leaves. I hate being that stereotypical guy but in this case, ima say it needs “more cal/mag”. Hopefully some soil experts will chime in and check my reasoning

If your in soil I would mix up a worm castings and compost tea with molasses to, then I would make it special by adding some organic calcium from like Roots Organics and I would add Epsom's salt to it to, 1 tsp pre L. I have to water in calcium because I use RO water and the Epsom's I do during flower. But always check your PH and I test my runoff to, it shouldn't change massively or concentrate like the EC does, from what you put in to what comes out. It looks like calcium spots to me but I'm a newbie to all this too.
You ever find out what that was ?? Cant think of anything that would give it a gold dust look on some of the plant . Also you wouldn’t be using your arts and craft room as a grow room would you .JK
@philmebowls I'm still not 100% sure. @bubblehok is leaning towards a PH and or potassium issue. @monkeydo thought maybe a calmag issue. I just got my PH tester and my PK booster from Amazon today. I'll start with testing the PH in my water and go from there.
@bangswitch2a I keep finding myself going back and looking at your photo, I actually think it’s somewhat nice looking. I would be trippy if it glimmered like gold.
@philmebowls it looks cool, but obviously not healthy. Lol. I have to update my grow diary with all of this soon. The spots are turning more of a brown color now. I just want healthy cannabis plants for crying out loud!
@bubblehok so my soil isn't overly wet. I water about every 3 to 4 days. I alturnate feeding every other watering. When I feed I am using Fox Farms Tiger Bloom (2-8-4). I don't have a PH reader, but one should be here from Amazon tomorrow. I also ordered Fox Farms Beastie Bloom (0-50-30).
I have to say. I've been avoiding posting about my plants here lately. My plants aren't doing well. I know this is a place to come for help, but I am frankly embarrassed that my plants look the way they do. So I didn't want anyone to know. Silly, I know. Especially when I have all the resources in the world right here. So here we go.
Since my last post, I got a PH tester, some PK booster and tried a new food for my plants. I think I have made things worse.
The plants are close to harvest, but have slowed in growth.
I'm ready to just chop them and be done with them.
I have no idea what to do at this point. I need some advice please. I want to apologize for not coming here sooner to ask for help.
but I am frankly embarrassed that my plants look the way they do
That's a shocking thing to say bro!! And as result, next moth we will run a Worst plant of the month comp to show you many of us have shit plants from time to time! Its just the way it goes 😉 don't be embarrassed man, maybe we could have fixed these sooner if you posted sooner.
But anyway yes, WPOTM next month, lets see them mingers everyone 😉 lol
Looks like they are ready for chop imo mate. Do itThe plants are close to harvest, but have slowed in growth.
They look good and ready imo and will produce a nice smoke. They start to look like shit when they approach the end of their life cycle, maybe you have been fighting against that all this time.
I was looking for the buds to swell up a bit more. Lol. I think you're right. It's chop time for these girls and time to move on the the next grow. 🙂
