First Grow problems

Hey I'm not sure where to post or how this works but I am a newbie and have some questions about my first grow. It has been over a month since my white widow strain sprouted. The leaves have these brown/yellow spots and I don't know how to fix it. Also, some of my leaves look twisted. Does anyone have any advice on my issues? Do you think nutrient burn from soil or deficiency? The spots appeared when it was pretty young. I hope it will be okay.

My soil is fox farm ocean forest. No added nutrients. Temp ranges from 77-83 and humidity is between 40-50%. Lighting is 2ft 4 bulb t5 unit. I use the Ph droppers and the color looks like it is in the 6.0-6.5 range. I have a small fan blowing on the plant, an exhaust fan on the top of my 6 ft cabinet and a passive intake vent on the bottom. Any advice would be awesome. thanks

We'll wait for more perspectives, but based on my experience, it looks like some type of fungus problem. It seems to be only affecting older growth and attacks the plant asymmetrically? This suggests [to me] that it isn't a nute problem. If I saw this again on my plants, I would respond by carefully and minimally removing infected areas, blades, or entire leaves if already damaged beyond repair in order prevent spreading. A weekly or bi-weekly neem oil solution spray helped a lot. Try to keep humidity on the low end (<45,50%) for several weeks. Slightly Cooler day and night temps will help battle humidity and slow micro-organism metabolism, too. I aim for 70-75 day and about 60-65 night.

I use foxfarm too - water at 7.0 - no twisting - see if that helps

Good luck man

U dont want your ph below 6.3 u loose many other nuts that the plant needs, so try get it to 6.4-6.6 ph. and then how old is the plant

Thanks for the helpful advice everyone... I think i am going to get a Ph meter because I have trouble figuring out where my Ph is at with reading the color range. Should I water with straight distilled water till I get it?
