Those spots are reaction spots to pH I'm guessing mate, what are your rockwool sitting at pH wise? Other than that very minor bit of imperfection, the plants look great, I would not worry about them dying any time soon. Keep an eye on them and maybe lower your light a little, looks like you have some minor stretching going on. Happy growing mate, keep us updated

The little leaves you are referring to are called cotyledons they are the false leaves. The spots on your leaves looks like a pH problem. Question did you presoak your rockwool in water overnight prior to putting your seeds in them for germination?

Damn the market is fucked, $20 will get me a good quality half quad (1/ where I am ... I feel for you Americans, your weed prices are nuts, the Market Tracker in High Times blew me away. Sorry for veering off the thread bgmike, I just had to get that out

veer away. i was wondering if it would matter if i sprayed them with 8.0 ph tap water. some of the rock wool was soaked and some not, but it has been hit with 100 ppm nutes with mid 5 ph now for days

If used just for misting, 8.0pH won't be too bad. If at all possible, let the water sit out for at least a day (preferably 3 days) and you'll see the pH adjust naturally as the chlorine evaporates. Good luck mate
