The water will be ok. I cant see the spots. Look for mites under the leaves, they are very very small. If its not bugs then you might need some cal/mag, but i dont see nothing to worry about. they look fine to me.

If you don't know the ph of your water, then it may be nutrient lockout. You can get ph test strips at pet stores. They're cheaper than a ph meter, but less accurate. Your nutrients are only available to your plants at a certain ph. About 5.4-6.8 depending on medium/strain. Find your ph. It is critical to your success. Looking good so far though!

I looked and I didn't find anywhere those ph test strips.. One store said they ran out of them and don;t know when they will get more.. thanks!
