White/Gold Spots on Leaves? With pics

I watered my 1 week and a bit babies with a bit of superthrive i know i shouldnt put fert in but just experimenting.. so a few days ago i noticed that on one of the plants the tip had turned white/goldish? its still on the tip now and hasnt spread up untill today i saw a few gold/white spots on the other leaf -_- is it just the superthrive?? im using pro mix and the ph is around 7..

Superthrive is fine at any age in my opinion, as I've used it at twice recommeded dosages on seed starting without issue. Whether or not its anything more than a gimmick is another question but its cheap so I keep using it . More than likely its just hot soil for your tiny babies. I'd just make sure not to over water, and let them do their thing. I've never had an issue of young girls dying from hot soil, just majorly stunted and slow early growth. Once they do take off however, Ive noticed solo cups get root bound real quick, and leads to stunted growth and other problems, but you probably have a couple weeks before u need to worry.

alright thanks for the advice!.. what do you mean hot soil? im a noobie lol

The pre mixed dirt that already has all kinds of nutrients. The most popular ones are like FoxFarms ocean forest and stuff. They are good, but in my experience its too much for the little girls, and I started actually using mixes without the nutes like Pro-mix seed starter for my clones and seeds. If I wanted to keep things simple, then I would switch to the hotter soil after transplant and not add any nutes for another month as indicated on the packaging usually. I usually mix these name brand type soils in with regular peat/perlite to add a little nutrient variety to my dirt once I have a stable rooted girl. Since I use nutrients, I actually prefer to use a base that has little to no nutrients, so I can better know what the plant already has or not has been feeding on, and that can help me diagnose issues.

ohh alright gotcha! yea that sounds like a better idea so you know everything your plant gets. way outta my leauge tho.. for now haha thanks man

But he's using a soiless mix with no nutes in it... I'm curious about his deficiency as well as I recently switch to Pro-Mix HP so I could have more control of my nutrient regiment.
