Yellow leaves, spots - First grow - White Russian - CFL

I did some googling prior to this, but honestly I can't nail it down. I beleive the issue started after last feeding (4 days ago). This
White Russian is a clone I gotten a month prior. Its transplanted into soil 16 days ago. While it went well it took a few days for yellowing to disappear. About 3 days ago it showed up again. At first it started in middle (I think) and only effected the lower and middle leaves. One is yellow, probably canary yellow, and some dark almost red spoting on edges and end of leaves. Another two are yellowing and one shows these blotches near center of the leaf itself. The rest of plant looks ok but I'm not sure what todo. Fertilizer was used, Its the General Organic grow formula, about 3/4 strenght and I've done folliar spraying to keep moisture level up and some water when topsoil was bone dry. The Water/Fertilizer is 6.3-6.4ph respectively and its on 18/6 cycle. I have not flushed or treated the plant with other chemicals, etc.. If it at all helps its around 5-6" tall now. I use distilled water right now instead of tap water (because I have concern over hard water). I don't (yet) have a ec/pph meter just a ph. Soil is soiless mix with 1/2 perlite as peatmoss. Day cycle is around 76-80F normally with 27-30% moisture and at night 70-73F and 26-28% moisture typically. Airflow has been steady and constant.

I'm not sure what else to write. i hope it was enough for you to help. My thread here is called "rubbermaid white rhino cfl". Yes, I mistakenly identified the plant. It IS white russian.

ok. I just done the leeching, aka flushing. The pot is still drying off and its kinda heavy right now. I put a gal through it pretty evenly over it. The ph was 6.0 and so was the runoff (all throughout the flush the ph kept constant) and it seemed to go well. The leaves are a bit worse off today. Two are curling upward.. She looks pitiful, I hope she pulls through.

Anyways. I just wanted to post here and say what happened. If she still has a deficiency or problems I'll post later.

Well, as long as you pH meter is correct, i would have to go along the lines of overwater/overfert.

"I've done folliar spraying to keep moisture level up and some water when topsoil was bone dry"

What is your foliar spray? And are you allowing the pot to really dry out, many don't let the pot get really light before you water. could just be moisture stress

looks like mold starting from u spraying the leaves stop when u spray water on leaves it leeches the nitrogen out of the plant this in turn will cause other ferts to become more concertrated locking out nitrogen .

I probably did mess up with foliar feeding. Its only been about 48hrs and she's already perking up and leaves reaching to the lights. :-P:weed:

Its going to take a while for it to dry out... But I'm not feeding, etc.. until its dry.
Will probably use half strenght ferts after that until I find a good amount betwen the soiless and cfl.
