I’m using an Aerogarden with a 1.1 gallon tank, with an added air stone and only 1 plant per system. Lighting is an SF2000 at 24 inches & at 90% output right now. Water temp is 68, air temp around 75, humidity between 50-60. PPM currently around 850, PH kept between 5.8 - 6.1, and I’m in the 4th week of grow from seed. The plant is a Critical Purple Autoflower. I am using GH Flora series and have been following the Aeroweed website and using the amounts instructed. Last feeding was 5 mL each of Micro, Grow, Bloom, and CalMag plus ( 2 0 0 ), per gallon of water. Immediately from seedling, I started seeing this spotting. Increased the CalMag and am now at double the dose.. (10 mL per gallon) … but the problems seem to continue. I change out the nutrient water with fresh every week. Should I just keep adding more CalMag?? Note… I switched to using Distilled Water for this grow. Is that why I’m having so much trouble maybe? Would I be better off going back to Tap water that’s sat in the sun for 24 hours?? This is my second grow ever & I had these issues with my last grow too, although it showed up mid flower & was easily fixable with a little CalMag. That was with tap water though. I’m totally new to all of this & these ugly spotted leaves are making me want to give up on Hydro, but I would much rather just figure it all out and get better at it. Any guidance would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you! Side Note, the smaller plant is a seed I started a week after the others, which I transplanted from hydro to a living soil mix. The spotting that was occurring on that one has stopped entirely.
