There mabe 2 weeks old. The one plant has this weird discoloration on its leaves. The other plant just looks unhappy. I dont get it. My other two plants are doing fine. Using fox farm happy frog. Didnt give any nutes yet ofcourse. Any ideas? Anything to worry about?

So what is the white stuff on the leaf in the second picture up top?
Thats the question. I have no clue never had this show up in such a small plant. Haven't done anything different. Could it be let's are to close or to much nutes. Mabe I should allow runoff and not have a pan that collects the run off.

What is the PH of the soil and runoff? what kind of nutes are you using? What is the EC?

Looks like possibly thats your first leaf that came from the sprout and is dying off due to lack or nutes it’s consuming itself the rest of the plant looks alright or it’s being so over watered it’s not fully drying out and I’m sorry but the finger test is garbage depending on what pots/bag/fabrics you are using deff can feel when a they need water.. also ph imbalance I finally got a pen and it has made life simple .the first picture you posted I can see water droplets all over the plant so maybe when you watered you watered up to the level of that infected first leaf ..it’s not good to get water all over plants IMO. I would not even worry about it yet unless it’s bugs

Don't know ph of runoff or nutes. I will have to check ph. I would assume it should be ok tho since happy frog is ph balanced. I didn't give any nutes yet. Dont have a tds meter. Dont know what to get. They all have bad reviews. Some people say this one works, while the next person says it dont. I bought two ph meters that didn't work.

I only saw one small green bug that I killed.

When it comes to meters, bluelab is pretty dependable. Its one of those "pay the price or pay it twice" items. Are you using plain tap water? If so, you should be able to contact your municipal water supply and get an idea of how hard your water is. Hope she turns around and makes dank buds.

Edit: Be extra careful with the PH pens. They are delicate and its very easy for the ions to get leached out of the node. I have no fucking idea what the science is there, this is just what I have been told. As always, do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Ok so I just tested my ph for the one with weird colored leaves. Its ph is reading at 5.0 prob. The water going into looks like its reading at 7.0. Why is it coming up so acidic? I never had this issue so early before.

That is very strange for a plant you havent fed yet. I really have no idea, but I think you've narrowed down where to look for the problem
