Worried for no reason?

Started these ladies on 12/29. Transplanted to 5 gallon air pots on 1/20. Coast of Maine Stonington blend, 2 Vivosun VS1000 lights at 75%, have used only ph'ed water with silica, molasses, and epsom salt mixed in. Left is Bruce Banner, wondering if those orange spots are a fungi to worry about or just water spots. The right is Gorilla Glue, just noticed today the leaves have some slight discoloration between the veins and a couple lower leaves have yellowed. Not sure if this is just the roots getting into the new soil or what. Any observations or advice appreciated.

Pretty sure you don't need to add silica to a soil grow. Plants look fine though, in short; yes, you're worried for no reason ;-) :)

Silica, molasses, and epsom salts? Why are you feeding that combination? You shouldn't need anything but plain water for at least a few weeks with that soil.

"This soil incorporates mycorrhizal fungi, kelp, fish bone and alfalfa meal, as well as worm castings, peat, coir and lobster compost."

I figured this 3 things wouldn't do any harm by adding them, even to this soil. Just some amendments to add to the health of the plant. Maybe I was wrong. Couldn't really find any info about it.

Sharpen your googling skills, the info is out there for sure. Look up "when to give molasses to cannabis", "when to give epsom salts to cannabis" etc. You'll find several good reads. Read multiple sources as you may find conflicting info. When all else fails, as a new grower, just do whatever Growweedeasy says.

I didn't say they were the cause of any issues but that soil is ready to go for awhile. I just think it's best to use as little as possible. If you go putting stuff unnecessarily into your soil you can have issues.
