Plant is 10 days above soil
Pro-Mix (without mycor)
Alaska Fish fert every watering (1/4 dosage every 3 days) Reverse Osmosis water
92 watts of daylight cfl 3 inches away
36-40% humidity with temps between 79-81

Problem started 2-3 days ago. Noticed spots on bottom true leaves. Thought it might be fert splash at first, but now it is spreading to my next set up. The right leaf was torn a bit by kitten.

I think it might be magnesium deficient? Could using dechlorinated tap water help?

I am thinking tap water is the best way to go, cheaper than buying gallons of anything from the store and there are going to be beneficial minerals in there as well.

Yeah i just flushed with 6.0 tap water. I ferted twice in one week.. prob not good. Then again it could of been the perlite popping air and small flecks of nutrient water on my leaves.. burning them. who knows.

your soil mix has no nutes from what i know. you are feeding nutes to a brand new plant with no established root system.

my best guess (just a guess) is to lay off the nutes for a few days, maybe a week. see if the spreading continues.

what strain, by the way? some are more finicky than others.

Northern Lights. no fert next watering (prob 3 days from now) and depending how the plants look, no fert next time either. By then it should be time to transplant.

I have Garden Tone from Espoma. Gonna spread that in the transplant mix. That should cover me mostly for the rest of grow.

I kind of jumped the gun on transplanting but on the bright side they have healthy roots just an ugly face.

yes...only water til the plants look better and then the bottom leaves start to go pale..then you feed.

no pale on bottom, no feed...if they never need veg nutes, then all the better for you and your plants.
