Spots on stalk and stems of plant need help!

This plant is about 2 months old and is being grown indoors.
It is under a 6 bulb full spectrum fluorescent light 18 hr on 6 off.
It is a RKS (Road Kill Skunk) grown from seed.
Been fertilized at 500 ppm veggie master and Ph at 6.2 to 6.4.
Growing in Sunshine #4 Professional Growing Mix.
I've had plants do this to me before and they all end up dead.
I have had my well checked for everything known to mankind and the only problem is a high Calcium rate.
What are the spots on this plant and what is the problem?

Time to change strain. It looks about as healthy as road kill.

Yea that's wild! I have never seen that before.. Time to start over.

I think it's going to explode

Looks like it wants to grow roots that's insane

nah other plants have that coating in the woods.. prolly a fungus or something eating it

I've changed strains and it has happen with them to. I can't figure why I can grow thirty or forty with no problems then bang I get another one like this.

Can you get an in focus pic even closer like a scope? Looks like hell but I'm interested. Guessing a pathogen..

What is your humidity like?

It could be three things i can think of...

roots stubs.
fungus of some sort.
forget what it is called... but... basically a bug burrows into your plant and created a nice little space to grow/live in. often to over winter... I doubt that is it though.

If not those, it is something I don't know about. ... likely....

I bet your humidity is 55+, at least... no?

Here's a couple answers I found, but not going to be rude and put the link here.

Thats not scale.
Does look like it wants to root, Maybe the humdity is hi? Or your feeding them something that makes them want to root, like maybe root excel or kelp product.
You could find out real fast by using a air layering technique. Wrap a little plastic and soil around the stem and see if it roots in 2-3 days you should know.
I found this about tomatos
"Bumpy stems. You may see lots of little raised bumps on the main stems that trigger your alarm bell. This is usually nothing bad. It’s just the “root primordia,” or earliest stage of a root that would develop if the stem were underground. They are most common in wet weather. Occasionally the bumps signal underground root damage, so watch the overall health of the plants."

Those are root nubs. I would say your plant is starting to get root bound.

I think you are probably right. If the OP gave us a humidity reading i think that could answer the question...

I would think that a fungus could grow at a lower humidity than root nubs could. I am not sure... it would need to be at least 65-70% humidity to put out root nubs... right? Or maybe water is frequently being splashed on those areas?

For the OP... you would want a humidity reading right around the area this is happening... not in a corner/elevation of the garden that you are not actually seeing it.
If your humidity is much higher in one spot or the other, than you need more circulation. Which is likely if this is a fungus or root nubs...

Not root bound its in a six gallon bucket.I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 and humidity between 48 and 52 always.can't hardly believe its trying to root even the young leaf stems are covered,

It looks like you are dealing with a pathogen, I would work towards solving this issue further. It is an excellent opportunity to persevere and learn about this situation so it never visits you again. You mentioned calcium and that you are running hot there, that is like a keystone element that in its balance holds the availability of Mag, N, Fe and is actually something you should look deeper into. A Cal toxicity will exhibit strange causal symptoms and is often manifesting itself as symptoms of lockout or bugs. 1. Flush 2. Get trace minerals 3. Foliar rejuvenation (insta-Green) Epsom salts, Liquid light, seaweed.....all at 1/2 strength (you can feed and let the root zone take in the flush). 4. Beneficial Bacteria (a good idea always)or conversely if you want to clean out the root zone and sterilize any fungal or bacterial problems use Dutch Masters Zone, it will kill everything...in the future, I would go with Coco instead. Soil just does not have the troubleshooting potential, Coco will give you a lot less issues inside. Good luck.
