Does this leaf discoloration look like something specific?

First grow.

--About 37 days of vegging.
--250w MH.
--Temps 75-80, humidity ~30%
--Roots Organics soil mixed with perlite.
--Distilled water ph'd at 6.5.
--Transplanted into 3 gal pot 4 days ago.
--Recieved Technaflora nute package during transplant (Thrive Alive B-1 Green, Suggar Daddy, Root 66).
--Last 1/2 strength Technaflora veg nute package (BC Boost, BC Grow, Thrive Alive B-1 Red, Magical, SugarDaddy) received 11 days ago.
--Next water in a day or two will tentatively contain veg nutes.
--Planning on going 12/12 in a day or three.
--Affected plant may not be the same strain as the other two non-affected plants. They all look similar now but early on this one's first set of leaves looked a bit different than the others. Could have just been the way it shed it's "seed shell" [shrug].

Discoloration seemed to start after the transplant. Can't remember 100% on that. It's on newer (but not the newest) growth. My other two plants that have received the same treatment do not show this discoloration.

Also, a couple of the lower fan leaves show this. I believe those leaves have been like that for maybe two weeks. Again, only this plant has it--not the other two.

Seems like many leaf anomalies could be attributed to any of a number of issues. At least that's my feeling as a complete novice. But I'm hoping maybe this is a classic case of something specific.

thanks

Are you using the B1 in Flower?
I'm familiar with your nutrients. Can you tell me how much of each you're using / gallon and do you adjust the ph to 6.5 when you add the nutrients?

Yes, I plan on using the B-1 Red during flowering as recommended by Technaflora's "Recipe for Success" mixing chart. They recommend 2.5ml per gallon during 12/12. For the most part I've been following their "Recipe for Success" guide although I've never dosed at full strength. I started at 1/8 strength and the most I've used has been 1/2 strength. I have their starter kit which included 10 products.

The first and only time I used the B-1 Green (it appears to be a fully organic version of B-1 Red) was during the last transplant. The B-1 Green is indicated by Technaflora for the "Seedling and Transplanting Stage" so I used it for the transplant. The chart dosing is for foiler feeding but I used the watering recommendation from the bottle's label--1 to 2 ml per liter. So that would be about 4-8ml per gallon. If memory serves, I used 4ml. It wasn't any more than that. I might have stuck with 1/2 strength and used 2 ml per gallon. Can't recall.

The last full veg feeding was on May 26 and I used:
BC Boost: 7ml per gal
BC Grow: 3.5ml
B-1 Red: 1.25ml
MagiCal: 1.25ml
SugarDaddy: 5ml

Those figures represent 1/2 strength of their recommendation.


For flowering (which I haven't started yet) I plan on using:
BC Boost: 7.5ml
BC Bloom: 7.5ml
Awesome Blossoms: 1.25ml
B-1 Red: 1.25ml
MagiCal: 1.25ml
SugarDaddy: 6ml

I pH after the nutes are added. My distilled is a bit acidic so I've been using a couple to several drops of PH UP to get to ~6.5.

I'll be switching to 12/12 in days. I anticipate a watering in about 1 day and planned on that being my last veg nute application.


I have little idea about the wisdom of my nute program. I'm definitely still in the learning stages of what works and what doesn't. So far things aren't perfect but overall I'm pleased with my progress.

Any advice is welcomed.

Here's all three of them:

Sorry to reply so late but I had to check on my ladies and do some work. I've been using Technaflora's "Recipe for Success" for 10 years. I must say though that I only use it for hydro and for my soil I use something else. From my experience and a lot of my friends who have been growing since the 70's, I wouldn't use the B-1 Red in flower at all. I love the B-1 Red though but I find it unneccary in flower and there might be some hormones in there from what i've been told. I've come to the conclusion that they are just trying to make as much money as they can. I've tested the Technaflora's "Recipe for Success" on some of my Nevilles Haze in soil and burned my plants using half of the reccomended dose but I think sativas take less nutes. I've been giving my Shiva Skunk 1,900 ppms, topping off the res daily and they've always been healthy but i'm about to use half that for now on and see if I get similar results because prices seem to be going up every quarter. Your feeding schedule looks good to me. I don't use all of their stuff because i'm happy with my results with only: BC Boost, BC Grow, BC Bloom, B1 Red, and Awesome Blossom. If you're plants aren't from the same mom then you have to find out how many nutes to give them. Some of the tips of the leaves seem a bit burned and maybe that plant needs less nutes. I wouldn't stick to one feeding schedule that someone gives you. I would say that you have to learn from you're strains and do what you're plant tells you. Looks nice though for a good grow.
