Hey all. Long time reader, first time user. Firstly, thank you all for your passion in sharing knowledge. It's really wonderful seeing how many people here are growing what they love and sharing it with the community.
I have 2 BC big buds growing in a small pc grow box. They are 5 weeks into veg, are on a 16/8 cycle and growing in a soilless medium (pro mix). Give it water PH'ed at 6.2-6.3.
It gets water every 2.5 days, and 1/4 strength nutes 20-20-20 every other watering. The yare under 3 26w CFL's about an inch to an inch and a half away from the light.
Everything has been going smooth as butter until a few days ago where the black dots on the bottom of the plant began growing more numerous, spreading to the top slowly and growing larger in size (the spots).
Here are images. I'm convinced that they are not pests because I can't see any evidence of webbing or the mites themselves. I believe it's a nute issue because I'm watching the spots develop over time, getting larger and am not quite sure poop of an insect would do the same.
I just want to save my plant before it's too late. Your wisdom, experience, guidance, and comments are very very welcome and appreciated.
Here are images taken a few moments ago of my two plants. What do you think? The only thing I can think of is Magnesium, calcium, or manganese based on images I've found online.
