Leaf Bleaching. Ph imbalance?

I just transplanted these clones into my aeroflo2 on the 14th. Soon after these strange spots started showing up. My ph is 5.8. EC is 1.3. Temp is 77 at the highest.
I did drop my Ph to 4.1 the other day by mistake, but brought it right back up.
I also completely forgot to Ph the whole system for the first two days (I know, I know, rookie shit).

Thoughts?


Should I flush with a "Final Phase" type cleaner for a couple hours and then re-up my nutes again?

anyone??? Trying to make my decision b4 my lights come on. Thx!

Please anyone post with advice....lights coming on... Thx

that looks like bleaching to me. how close is the light?

The light is about 2.5 feet right now. I just put them in the flower room, so almost finished hardening off.
The bleaching isn't from the light. Pretty sure of that.

Low ph in my experience does not scorch the leaves like this.
they get all wet looking and shrivel a dark green.

Since your a novice and have overlooked your ph,
it is safe to say you have overlooked chlorine in your water.

I have an Aeroflo 36, in order to avoid this, simply fill a different reservoir with water, let it sit for 2-3 days to just make sure all the chlorine has evaporated.

You do not need to adjust nutrients unless you plants are bigger.

1.3 EC at this point is more than enough.

At this stage i would have 1.0 EC, 700ppm.

Your leaves are damaged, they wont recover, but new growth should not show any of this if u let your water sit out for a few days before adding it into you areoflo.

DONT FORGET, AERO USES LESS WATER THAN HYDRO.
BUDS WILL LOOK SMALLER, BUT WILL SHRINK LESS AFTER PRODUCT IS DONE.

SINCE THE WATER IS JUST SITTING THERE THE CHLORINE CAN'T ESCAPE.

Also scorched leaves are not to be misread for deficiencies.
