HELP!! I cant figure out these yellow spots!

ive looked and done research and just cant figure it out for sure. my closest guess is magnesium deficiency? please help.

heat stress?

Do you foliar feed or spray the leaves with water.

They look like little burn spots from magnified HID light through water drops.

AHA! you sir are correct!

That's a myth, the water doesn't act to magnify the light. What happens is that the salts in the water don't evaporate along with the water in an even pace because the water balls up leaving behind salts that burn the plant. A wetting agent prevents the water from pooling and burning.

eco friendly dish soap

lol thank you guys i feel dumb but i did do a lot of research, i guess just too much for such a simple answer

I use regular Dawn dish soap and it works quite well.

Really, you might want to inform the forest rangers and firefighters as they believe that drops of water magnified by the sun to have started many forest fires. I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this.

no they don't. There's this thing called a vocal point. If you held a magnify glass to an ant would it burn? I ask you to never repeat such stupid myths, you have been educated.

I never pass up a chance to learn something new but do you always spread knowledge in such a delightful way?

Sometimes I'm not as nice

good now were all educated.

How the hell can magnified "water" start a fire?? wouldnt the droplet of "water" prevent the heat from building up to cause the fire, you need the "heat" to cause the fire, Daaa, please educate me on that!!

A hanging droplet of water acts like a magnifying glass.

If it's beam is focused in the right spot long enough, it can and does start fires.

I'm in the dawn dish soap camp as well...just avoid this potential problem off the bat. Just curious though...does anyoen else think that MAY be a problem other than heat stress...(ie some defiency) I really hate being "that" guy as far as ruining what seems like (and could quite possibly be) the answer..I suppose I"m just playing devils advocate.

ive transplanted it into a bigger 6 pot system, the roots were completely taking over the small aerogarden

If you ask around about that people may say to get some hygrowzyme...seems like legit stuff for root problems in particular...I think the jist of the stuff is that it's some sort of beneficial bacteria that break down the dead stuff to more productive stuff..don't know that much about it but I've read quite a few people use the stuff. Again ask around. Hope things work out for you bro.

this is her now
