Hey guys!

I was looking at my plants a few min ago and noticed these things. I'm not using any nuets in my water since they are just babies. The soil is Fox Farms Light Warrior. Is it possibly the PPM of my water is just too high? If thats the case, how can I fix? If not, what do you think the problem is!?

One is a clone, the other a seedling.

what are your temps in there? and what kind of lights are you using?
me personally...i would think its a heat problem and raise the lights up. but i dont know your temps so it might be good.
it could be your water...try flushing with distilled water

temps are between 76-81. It coule be the light, its only a 90w LED but it is like 8inches away. I originally felt like the plants seemed to be stretching to the light so i lowered it a little.

For that first plant there, if your seeing random tiny white spots, Flip the leaf over and look for spider mites. As for the seedling, i've had a few do that to me...never figured out why, try growin it in some plain potting soil. Everybody tries to get all fancy and it does nothing. Strait soil and water for first month. It'll grow fast. Use decent amounts of peralite and vermiculite i your soil mix, it's prootes oxygen in the soil, and good strong root development.. Roots are key to fast growth.

I dont see white spots on the leaves, nor do I see any flea like creatures under the leaves. The only thing that could have resembled a spidermite that i saw was one piece of soil that (or atleast I hope) that was on the stem. But upon further observation it looks as if it is starting to flower... why is this!? The light its under is 24/0 still. I will try to get new soil for the seedling, but is that the only thing you can think of as of now? Not the water or light?

ok. I changed the soil. Hopefully it will be a good girl and turn green. Why is my clone flowering prematurely?

Ah i see if its a clone then its been cut from a sexually mature female so its perfectly normal as its been cloned from a plant that has already been sexed and showing pre flowers.

this is the plant that i was questioning the spots for in post #1. It is a clone that i got 5 days ago, so i cant tell you an age, but in height it is 7-8 inches tall

ok, so I can just let it keep going like this. Do I need to let it start flowering sooner then later? or it makes no difference?

Just vegg it until its suits you (size wise) then start flowering it whenever you like. Now or later its up to you but i do agree with the bug theory and its more common to bring bugs in to your growroom VIA clones from another place.
