Weird yellowish spots and mishapen leaves

Hey there guys, this is my first post lol . Got a bit of a problem, im not sure how old my plant is because i was given it only 2 weeks ago, i know its from bagseed tho. Its under a 20watt CFL, in garden compost/spagnum moss mix, about 5 inches high and ive just repotted it into a bigger pot (it was root bound i think and was in coconut fibre). I gave it nutes (miracle gro) 2 days ago and have been watering with distilled water when the medium is dry. The plant seems to be growing ok but the last couple of days ive noticed a couple of the leaves have been going a weird shape and some have tiny little black dots on them and a couple look like they have yellow spots on them. Please help!

Looks like a deficiency. Probably Magnesium or Copper.

thanks for your fast reply, what should i buy to sort it

For Magnesium deficiency, you can use Epsom salts or Dolomite lime. For Copper deficiency, you can use Copper Sulfate (don't know where to get it), Granular, Garden Manure or Greensand. Also, simply using nutes like Miracle Grow (All purpose) may take care of the Copper problem.

ok cheers, how often should i give it miracle grow coz i dont want to give it nutrient burn lol, other than that do you think my plant looks ok? im not sure how old it is which is the problem, any ideas?

Read the directions and give the plant 1/4 of what it says to give it.

Its a little sick but will do alright as long as you fix the problem right away.

Can't really say how old it is. If its growth has been stunted, it may be smaller than it should be for its age... but if I had to guess, I'd say its no more than 3 weeks old.
