White Spots on Leaves

These showed up a few days ago... my guess is its either bugs or heat. let me know your input please.

are you feeding nutes ?looks like a nute burn from spilling it on while feeding or mabe your light was too close and also looks like mabe if you sprayed it with light on a few water droplets may have burned those spots
so mabe 1 of those three id need more info

i misted them a few days ago, and i remember leaving droplets on the leaves of that one. i didnt realize the light would magnify in the water and burn em. duly noted... and i've moved my lights off of my plants a little more. thanks man

misted them huh? what lights do ya have? misting during high heat times cause the water droplets to act like a magnifying glass, causing tiny burns. thats 1 possibility.
another is... did you mist with plain water? foliar feeding can also cause over-ferting burns. if your misting with nutrients, dilute them 2x as much as you would if you were adding it to the soil.

i wouldnt worry too much either way tho, overall its healthy, they will always get a defect here or there.

PS that dirt looks like crap. next time, less sticks and bark, more dirt, and add some perlite/vermiculite =)

im using some 15 watt cfls until i can find/afford a better lighting situation, and yeah that soil mix is my first batch ever made... i got some brown-sandy dirt from the vivero(nursery) and mixed it with wood chips and worm castings... next time i transplant them it will be into some better stuff (and i'll probably use a sieve as well). and im not using any nutes btw. if i use a foliage spray, its gonna be with some compost tea

It might be light burns from water, but it could be something else...because is that one bottom leaf sticking out there kind a rumpled looking? or is it just the pic and my bad eyes? The 2 might be related and might not...get really close and see if the spots are actually burns...burns will be all dry and what not...but if it is just lacking color but still soft then it is not a burn, but is something else...I am not sure what...but something...just figure out if the burns are actually burns...As plants get larger you will sometimes find burns on the under leaves because of transpiration, they aren't that big a deal..I mean avoid it happening..but sometimes it does.

they do really look fine remember the one thing growers do thats badd for the plant is care for it too much
