Hello there my fellow growers!
I am a first time micro grower in a PC STEALTH BOX, and my plant is 30 days old from seed.
It's under 12/12 from seed with a very big 125W CFL 2700K (Actual 125W)
My problem is that these last few days, it has developed some weird brown spots on the fan leaves. Almost looks like burn marks. And it could not be burn marks since the CFL light gives off almost no heat what so ever. It started to happen after I gave the plant rain water a few times. Just a note, not sure if that actually caused it.
And now, I am really seeking for some professional advice.
What could this problem be?
Some notes for you guys:
* I've been doing LST almost from the very start.
* I noticed many white larvae during the second week (fungus gnats), changed medium immediately, and as for now day 30, I physically can't see any fungus gnats)
*Medium used is peat based medium from what I understand. I am still very newbie to all this stuff but the label says:
- 60% peat (low humification)
- 34% peat (high humification)
- 6% sand
- pH 6
- NPK 14-7-15
*I water the plant roughly every 2 days when the soil is dry. (Lifting the pot to feel the weight)
*I gave it pure rain water a few times last week, and after that the leaves started to show brown spots.
*Now I only give it distilled water with pH 7
*After I give it some water when the soil is dry, the runoff water at the bottom of the pot shows a pH of roughly 5 with a simple cheap pH stick (1 time use sticks)
Well I think I am probably doing a lot of things wrong here hehe, but that's why I came here to you guys. I have seen very talented growers here and I would be so happy to learn from you!
Feel free to ask me anything that I have missed to point out.
So, yeah, here are a few pictures:
