This is a Post I have on another Forum, I can't seem to get the input I need and I'm afraid of loosing this plant. Please Help!!

Original post
Dark Spots
My wife just transplanted this strawberry cough and suddenly spots on leaves.

Growing under CFLs 3-5500k and 1-3500k
Same soil mix I use with all my plants.
80 deg f. 1 3" fan with louvered door
24/0 lighting

Any Ideas? This happened like over night.
At moment it seems to be only older leaves.
There is also some tip burn.
She seems to think it was over watered but to me that doesn't account for the spots.
Is it a PH problem, haven't checked that on this plant yet since transplanting it.

Photo 5 was associated with this post.
I also was told it may be a FUNGAS

Second Post
Their Back
A week ago this plant was treated for fungas, since I really didn't know what was wrong.

Since then I fed it once with a 1/4 nute solution with superthrive and molasses added in recommended quantities.
All Nutes ph at about 6.5
24/0 Light 12 hours under 8 100W equivalent daylight CFLs and 12 hours under 1000w HPS.
Open area good ventilation, box fan for air flow,and stem strength.
low humidity 30 %
temp 75 deg.F average no big fluctuations.

Plant is relatively healthy, a little tip curl, and burn. 4th picture
1,2,and 3 show spots on leaves.
So far problem is limited to 2 or 3 leaves.

Is it deficient in something?
Or locked out?

Thanks for any help you can give



This Morning the spots have spread to about 1/3 of the plant!!!
All Help Is Appreciated

pH Fluctuation:
Both of these leaves in figure 6 and figure 7 are from the same plant. It could be over fertilization, but more likely it is due to the pH being off. Too high or too low a pH can lock up nutrients in the form of undisolvable salts and compounds, some of which are actually toxic to the plants. What then happens is the grower then tries to supplement the plants diet by adding more fertilizers, throwing off the pH even more and locking up even more nutrients. This type of problem is seen more often in soil mixes, where inconsistent mixing of the medium's components leads to "hot" spots.
