Hey all newbie here curious as to what my problem is and any solutions. Seeing this slight discoloration spot pattern on some of the older leaves, newer ones look fine but can never be to sure you know?

Got any mites on the underside of those spotted leaves?

spotting like that is usually from an off balance ph. or could be start of nute burn.
back off the ppms and correct your ph if it is off.

looks like an outdoor grow, pests probably. someone suggested spider mites already, i concur. get some neem oil or pyrethrum.

Its not mites, that was my first guess prior to posting. How should I correct the balance?

My only guess can be the spray I used might have done a slight burn in under the lights.

I agree that the ppms may be getting on the high side as well

I'm sorry(really noob question here) but ppm stands for? base or acidic?

K ty, also can you give me a guesstimate on how long the vegetative state for the plants should be? Seems like they're a bit small.

are you spraying the leaves ? If so, is it pure h2o, or do you have nutes in the spray ? sometimes that can cause leaves to do that.

I'm beginning to think it was the spray, I just tested the soil of the one that looked the worst and my ph is about at 7.0-6.5 And I believe that is the range I should be in. The spray was water/organocide (preventative spray against potential mites/aphids.

Could also be a magnesium deficiency. If it were me I'd be sure to use some cal-mag and pH test my water. Does not look serious.

Looking again that looks sort of like splatter from a spray of some sort, looks like what can happen when you get nutes on plant leaves.
