Hey mate.
It looks like you're locked out.
What's your medium?
What's your ph?
Ec/ppms?

There's a fair bit of white crap on some of the leaves. Does it rub off? Or is it part of the leaf?
Check it all over for bugs. Under all the leaves too. Affected ones especially. Use a scope if you have one.
:peace:

Hi everyone. I am a new grower and new to this site. I can not for the life of me figure out how to start a conversation on here. Can any one help me?

Medium = what are you growing in?
You need a scope to be able to clearly see some bugs. It does look like bug damage to me. Though it's hard to be certain without being there.
Does the white stuff rub off?
6.5 - 6.8ph seems high. My first thoughts was high ph as well. Even soil. It's pretty rare to need ph higher than 6.5.
I mean the ph of your medium too. Not what you're feeding / watering.

6.5-6.6 sorry, mis typed. i used this chart to get my ph

no white spots showed up on any other leaves but that one and one more on the plant - they showed up a while back. i'm growing in a 4x2 tent

Probably ph lockout.
Possible it's the strain too. But more likely from lockout.
it's only a few of the leaves that are like that. a few nights ago when i was mixing nutes i added the nutes in first then the water, could this have made the problem?

i'll check the ph of the soil tonight when i water.
And when will you check for mites, or see if it rubs off the leaves?

You have more than pH going on.

You either have mite damage or mold, and left untreated your plant will likely not survive, and the rest will likely develop the same issues.

Seems you want to hear that it's pH related so good luck

Don't go by the runoff either. Use a slurry. Or use a stake meter.
IMHO though, you need to figure out what the white stuff is more importantly. You've gotta rule out bugs or disease. Otherwise it's gonna quickly spread, and before you know it, it'll be too late.
Neem should kill most bugs and disease. It may be a good idea to neem. It'll be safe. You're not in flower anyway.
Ph adjusting in soil, will take time. If it does turn out the ph is high, you can use buffers like citric acid in your water. Even sulphur. Just lower it all slowly. Over a week or two.

Priority #1 Rule out bugs and disease.

Plant isn't doing toooo bad.

Good luck man.

OK then you probably have a bug with rasping or sucking mouth parts. They suck and scrape the nutrients from the leaves.

I'm with @Beachwalker on this one. You need to rule out bugs asap.
Even just a simple pesticide as a preventative measure, if you can't spot them.
