Brown Spots Persist. Help?

[Kreegor]

Hey again.

The brown spots on my sprouts' lower leaves have worsened slightly after I transplanted them to their current Hydro buckets. I seems to be isolated to the very tips of the bottom leaves, and I think that the fact I kept their BioBizz enriched water sitting in a jug might have contributed. The water in the bucket system has half the prescribed nutrients and has the pH balanced around 6.3.

I picked up some antifungal pesticide today, says it's fine for garden fruits, vegetables, houseplants, whatever. On the bottle it says the active ingredient is "Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem oil". Is it safe to spray that on a plant I intend to smoke?

Any help at all would be appreciated. I'd hate to see my babies sick.

hey,

Neem oil is fine to use on your plants.. The brown spots could be transplant shock or possibly nute burn. If the affected areas are only the bottom leaves and it doesnt seam to be spreading i wouldnt be overly concerned.. Remove the leaves or burnt bits if they bother you..

[loylty gets u nothing]

cold pressed neem is the shit

the other neem isnt as affective imo

all the best

I don't think your spot problem is due to pests or a fugal disease so I am not sure what you think spraying will achieve. Like cloner says if it isnt spreading and is only on the lower leaves I wouldnt worry. Could be nutrient burn, deficiency,ph problems or over watering? It sound as if you have the correct ph and low nutes so I'm guessing a deficiency. There are better growers than me that may be able to help. Good luck.

Make sure to only apply neem just before the lights go out. I've had it cause burn. It doesn't affect the smoke, it's safe I've even used it on food plants.
