This is the problem I am having now. Spots on the leafs. Does anyonw have a clue on how to fix it. This is the same thing I had on my very first grow.

pH and low humidity are doing it.

Thanks Roseman. This is what I uncovered. When I first bought a bubbletronic system it came with a ph kit(from GH) the chart read as low as 4.0. I was running out and had to buy a new one. So I went to a aquarium store and bought a new one. The thing that I did not realize is the lowest reading on that chart was 6.0. So for about 2 weeks I'm taking readings and it was showing my ph as 6.0.So for shits and giggles I use my old tester(I had a few drops in it and it showed a bright red reading 4.0 or lower. So now I am confused and being a new grower I dont know what the hell to do. So I take the new kit I bought, I put a 1/8 of a tsp of down in the water, test it and it still is showing 6.0(yellow) I do it again,another 1/8 of a tsp of down and still it is showing 6.0.WOW. I must of put 2 Tablespoons of ph down in a 16 oz cup and it never went lower than 6-0. Now either the chemical is bad or the kit is made specifically for a fish tank and doesn't go any lower than 6.0. Have you ever experienced that? So I got the ph correct, added a tsp of cal mag and bought a humidifier to get the humidity up. During the time of my ph problem my humidity was going down on a daily basis and the last day it was 29%. In one day it looks like the damage hasn't got any worse and I will have a plant to clone.

You can not grow hydro without a good pH meter, or TEst Strips. They ahve pH test strips at Aquarium supply and swimming pool suply places.

To raise Humidity, I put lots of 12 ounce styrafoam cups full of water all around my plants. I roll up soaking wet face cloths, like a cigar and lay them between my plants. I hang soaking wet bath towels on a cloths hanger dripping into a pan and bucket, near my plants. I give them a good daily misting too, with plain water in a spray bottle, daily.
My humidy stays at 50% to 55% doing that.

Good Luck.

Just did a water change. Feeding with Fox farm Big Grow. PPm 500. Ph is around 6.0 - 6.5. When I check it at night it is around 7.5 -8. water temp around 76-78. Humidty has been a challenge. My grow room is off the boiler room(I go in my boiler room to get to my grow room). I changed the the light schedule about 2 weeks ago from 18/6 to 24/7. I will take off the damaged leaves tonight. They are more dead than alive and I think taking energy from the rest of the plant. The height is around 7". I dont know about the roots. Before I did the water change they were more white, I am concerned about the color now. It seems the ph and humidty damage to the leaves has stopped now. I think I might change the res from a 2 gallon to a 5 gallon. If anyone has any input I am open.

My roots seem to be getting darker now and clumped together. I think maybe the reason is the basket is sitting in the water about a 1/4 to 1/2" and some hydroton dust is getting in the water. Not sure if I can do anything about that. It seems that I have this problem every other water change. Or maybe it is the Nutes I am using.

Roseman · #10 10-20-2009, 08:23 AM

Hydroton Dust is not beneficial to a grow, and it needs to be rinsed out completely.

and you needed bigger buckets. It will go better for you now.
