Alright i got this cheep PH tester for my water and it was around 7.0 which by the chart hick showed me was a little high ... I dont know if this is the reason for the yellow spots and yellowness... So i was wondering what i should do to bring it down... I also took some pics so you guys could help me out .. thanks.. The top of the plant looks alright but the bottom is where most of the spots were and now looks like hell ... since i stoped the water that i was using that was around 7.6 the spots have stoped i think ... You can also notice some White stains on the clay pots that look like salt almost i dont know ... i dont think its good though

your plants look healthy, if it ain't broke don't fix it.. you should pre adjust any water or nutrients before you water to 6.5-6.8 in soil. some plants can tolerate a slightly highre pH but as flowering starts that's where the problems come in.

6.5-6.8

 

[BSki8950]

yea i gotta get a PH tester for the water and soil .. i just have one for water right now and its for fish tanks so i dunno .

 

[Mr.Wakenbake]

Lowes now sells a decent battery operated ph tester for like 19.95.... it has a needle but is electronic instead of analog... you might should check it out.
There is no excuse for pH problems...and not having a tester... get one QUICK.

Don't worry about the color on your pots -- they are ceramic and are porous and allow air and moisture exchange. They are, IMO, the best to grow just about anything in, from house plants to MJ. They'll get that buildup on the outside no matter what you grow.

Ok i have been real bizzy lately so i really havent had much time to post any pics of my plant. I think its getting better but im not sure. The undergrowth is growing but the plant itself is not that tall at all. Prob less than 1 foot. I think when i was feeding it i gave it too much and got some nut burn at the end of some leaves. Im kinda aggravated with it and cant wait till it gets warmer out and i can put it in the ground. but anywho here are some pics. let me know what you think. Thanks.

It looks like it needs to be put into a bigger pot to me.. I bet it's about root bound...
