hey all, exactly 4 weeks into my first grow. currently have 6 plants under 1000w mh dimmed to 50%, about 8 inches over the tops of the plants. Temps dont go above 82, humidity stays betwen 40-50%.
growth has seemingly been okay to me, nice node spacing, steady good growth, but i have noticed a progressing issue with a couple of my plants. As you can see i have some spots on a couple leaves and there is also a dry brittle kind of shiny waxy appearance to some of them too. I first noticed this 2 weeks ago on one plant but now am starting to notice it on 2 others. This doesnt seem to be slowing growth, but none the less i am still concerned. Primarily seems to be on lower leaves but am noticing it on some of the higher leaves now as well.
I started my plants in solo cups with fox farms ocean forest. I just transpanted from solo cups to 1 gallon pots 4 days ago. Plants dont seem to be shocked by the transplant as i can tell they have all continued to grow throughout the week. I topped yesterday morning and gave the plant their first nutrient feeding last night. I used the general hydroponics flora line along with botanicare cal mag. I fed nutes at a reduced strength than advised on the bottle to start. My tap water is 50ppm and after mixing nutrients and ph'ing the water i came in at 350ppm and 6.2ph. I have maintained a good water schedule and kept water ph between 6.2-6.4 throughout.
I am really hoping this is just a simple deficiency that will be cured with nutrients (fingers crossed), but i am a noob and this is my first grow so obviously i am stressing it hard.
Anyone have any idea what may be going on and what i could potentially do to correct this? Really dont wanna lose any of my girls!!
