Here is a pic of my two week old, temps are good, ph is holding steady at 5.8, no nutes and they are growing in rockwool and hydroton in a bubbleponics system. My question is what the hell are these black spots.

Fing problems starting already, isn't that just the way.

+rep for advice. As long as it isn't nute burn, this is impossible.

almost looks like someone with tobacco smoke on there fingers touched it. Had a friends look like that.
If thats not possible, was anything sprayed on it.

The plant hasnt been fed, give it nutes and it will respond. Those black spots are necrosis I believe and they are a sign of a P def. If you havent fed the plant at all then the plant just needs to be fed with a complete N-P-K fertilizer thats fortified with micro's. It doesnt take seedling long before they want food. Do you have any nutes for it?

could be nutes , but spots also have something to do with ph problems is your ph allways 5.8 ? some strains like it more at 6.2

It wont make that big of a difference since .4 isnt that much. Plants need nutrician and this one hasnt been fed since it began life which was two weeks ago. The water doesnt have enuff nutrients to sustain life for long. I use Ocean Forrest soil which is fortified and always feed after one week. If the grower is using r/o or distilled then theres literally NO nutrients for the plant to live off of which is even worse in hydro.

Bloate, get some quality nutes if you dont already and start with 1/4 streangth nutes and build up from there and your plant will be fine.
