White spots on random leaves

Hey guys, 1st grow here, so here's what's up (thanks a lot for your time :) ) ;

Plant setup :

-Indoor in a 4x8 tent
-DWC 5 gal bucket
-On week 7 since seed popped out of the rockwool. (Wasn't using Cal-mag at first and the plant suffered a lot around week 3, so it is smaller than it could be)
-I am keeping it in veg until it has grown a bit more, plant is really bushy too.)
-Under a SF-4000 (440 true watts)

-Feed (in order) :
Tap water comes at 150ppm
+100ppm cal-mag 2-0-0
+ ~~15ppm phosphoric acid for ph
+120ppm GH Trio's FloraMicro
+240ppm GH Trio's FloraBloom
+pH adjustment if need be

+~5ml of Microbial Mass Pro to keep pathogens and help root buildup (works great compared to the sterile setup I was trying at first)
+A fulvic acid spray with minerals and whatnot made by a local brand. (tried it once or twice, got nice results rapidly, didn't try to push it too much, will maybe try on some colas during flower)

I change the bucket's water once every week, top it off with cal-mag ph'd water or distilled water according to what I want to do.

pH is kept between 5.5 and 6.1
---

The problem is these white spots that appeared since last night on the leaves. I am not sure if this might be caused by me dropping some nute'd up water on the leaves or if it is some sort of parasite? My other 3 plants are doing good and don't have this issue, but they are 2 weeks old only.
Here are pictures of the plant and the leaves I saw were most affected.

I see that the leaf I'm holding up is heavy on Nitrogen, as per the darker color, clawing and slight burn at the tips, so maybe I dropped some cal-mag water on it when topping it off?

Lemme know what you think about anything in this setup.

Thanks, I'm glad to be a part of this community :)

spots are like a micro nutrient deficiency maybe..... looks like molybdenum ....maybe.... idk

wouldnt worry about it if its just a leaf or two.

I wouldnt spray fulvic acid on my buds in flower. You can but dont see the point in planning on it at this point. Might cause bud rot if you dont do things right.

You could stand to pick off a leaf or two that are blocking lower bud sites .

Alright thanks for your input :) There isn't any new white spot today so I guess it is fine. As for the fulvic acid spray, yeah I'm not sure either, I just want to experiment. I'll see what's up when I get there.

They may be water/nutrient droplets from feeding or your spray, do they wipe off any? Could also be humidity in the tent dripping down onto leaves.

Doesn't rub off and you can see it from both sides. After spraying, I wait for it to dry for like half an hour before turning lights back on. The cool Canadian air is my AC, so the air is pretty dry too.
Not really sure lol, anyhow she is looking healthy today.

The pic on the right looks like the start of PM.

Do you have a magnifying scope to check it out?

Since I removed the leaves three days ago there have been no new spots, I looked closely and it didn't seem powdery as PM does. Anyhow, plant is as healthy as ever it seems :)

Looks kinda like leaf septoria

You do not have the 3rd bottle of the gh trio listed. Are you using it?

It does, uh. Not quite it, but that tells me it probably was some sort of leaf fungus. Let's hope it's gone for good, no symptoms as of yet it seems :eek:

No I am going with the "Lukas formula" for this 1st grow, which is basically 1 part FloraMicro + 2 part FloraBloom throughout the whole growth (no FloraGrow).

I think I'm passionate enough to come up with my own mix maybe for the next grow, but that seemed like what was easier at first.

A little goes a long way with nutrients make sure you have watering days in between your feedings, for example if your growing with fox farms which synthetic organic it is strong stuff, you can grow a good plant just with grow big and tiger bloom by itself, and you can get other amendments you need like kelp, I wouldn’t bother wasting money on different nutrients that are not needed.

Yeah, the setup is hydroponic (DWC) so I clearly need to water often, the plant drinks like a beast lol. I water every second day. I just received my Silicon Dioxide in powder form and will try adding some to one of my plants soonish, I want to try that, along with my fumic acid in the water (wouldn't that kind of act like kelp? gotta look more into it I'm commenting without googling atm.) That's the scope of my experimentation at the moment, but yeah I killed a couple seedlings feeding them nutes lol. Safe to say I don't do that now, and keep the dosage at a reasonable level for when I do.

Thanks for the feedback!

No, it acts a buffer, moisture retainer, and encourage and promotes hormones. I’m giving you this info without it searching it up I’ve been doing so much research lol, but it’s all about having a hive mind right? ✌
