HELP! Outdoor Autoflower Near Harvest Has Brown Spots

7 Likes

First of all welcome to the club. Next could we get a little more info. Strain, soil type, pH if you know it, is that all over the plant or in spots.

The strain is Bruce Banner. Soil type is just typical potting soil for container-grown tomatoes. No clue re pH. Spots are here and there, not all over.

Thanks for helping!

Brother, pH is important. Collect the water that will flow out of the grow bag and measure the pH

Thanks bud. Yes, this newbie needs to get with the program and get a pH meter ASAP. But being rather close to harvest, maybe it is too late to make much difference? Chalk it up to a lesson learned?

Right there is your problem, I have tried out a lot of different basic potting soils and some of them just do not work well with growing weed.

just a little effort and you will be rewarded with some number of flowers. while the plant is alive, it makes sense to try to fix

looks like a bomb went off sucks sorry :peace_symbol:

Growing good herb isn’t just throwing a plant in soil and watering it. You’ve got to do your research and study. A LOT of studying. pH looks good to me, just lack of some nutrients is your issue. Blue lab has some good pH readers. But again, you got to study up on how to take care of a plant from seed to harvest.

It looks like a Calcium deficiency, based on the leaf chart.
Btw, welcome to OG!

It looks like some insects as well as a slight nutrient issue. )It would be nice to have a more focused closeup of the damage on one of those leaves. It also looks like it carries some pretty bud that will be good smoke soon.

I added a new photo hoping it gives a more focused closeup. And here is another showing the overall size of the plant and its buds.

Much appreciated!

I recommend immediately ordering solutions for calibration and storage with a ph meter. Cheaper to buy bottled than small bags.
