Heyyy.

about a handful of leaves are getting this weird orange spottyness on them and turning a little lighter. the spots are right in the middle of the leaf mostly. I took a picture (all by myself). mold? this is the 'worst' leaf. Only on one of my plants, a little lower than the middle of the plant. It doesnt seem like they've been getting any worse over the last few days, but i'd rather avoid a potential something if i can.

was hard to find good lighting to take the picture gr

eek

DO you use an ozone air purifyer? What does your ph run? Is it held fairly constant?

i don't use an ozone. Just have a fan, a light, an exhaust fan. humidity can get up to 50.. but its generally in the high 30s/low 40s. Temps can be in the 80s though. Generally not higher than 81-82 on a warmer day though.

ph is running a little high.. usually 7.0ish (never higher). Been trying to really work on that this last week. maybe that might help it a little. It's been fairly constant at high 6.x -7.0.
I never really bothered to adjust too often because there hasn't been an issue (sometimes it will be real high and i am like whoaa doggie). but, just because there hasn't been problems, doesn't mean there won't be one, riight.

ph should be around 5.5-5.8 ideally. what nutes are you giving them? does any new growth show any problems?

that low huh?? okok. for the last week i've been getting the ph down to around 6.2-6.3 or so. i'll keep stuffing it down.

I've been feeding Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. every other watering (which is every few days). those are the first and only nutes i've given to them other than a little fert when i transfered them to the new pots. but that was weeks ago..

New growth is all looking beautiful! (check the link if you are bored) the bottom bottom leaves on both the plants are wilty and yellow. But thats pretty normal. These orange spots are several nodes higher than low leaves.

Thats idea for hydro's but soil range is good at 6.5-7.0

So i've been going too low?.. arr
Still. I don't think with any of the pH levels im using should cause these? it's not a very dramatic change. Plus the spots came before i tried lowering it.

5.5ish is for hydro and i assumed that was what you were doing. soil is different and i bow to proplayer420's advice on that. i've never done soil but have had the brown spots. i found it to be to much nutes or ph to high when those leaves were first growing. if all new growth looks good then your probably ok.

To be honest I wasn't sure if he was doing soil or hydro's. Just incase
