Hey guys! This is my first post here! I am working on my first grow, and have tried to prepare and research but ran into something thats stumped me. I am sure its due to inexperience, and I was hesitate to post, but I figure why not. I will include as many details as I can.
Problem: I have a few plants that are two weeks old tomorrow. Over the past two days, 3 of 5 have developed orange spots that seem to spread. It seems like abacteria, because everywhere it was orange, it now looks like faded green, almost velvet like. It seems like its eating away the top of the leaf.
Lights: 8 100w equiv. CFL's 5000k located about an inch above each plant. Total lumens: 12800 Growing space currently is 2' X 2 1/2' with wall to wall mylar
Soil: Fox Farms Ocean
Strain: White Widow/AK47
Invironment: 66/67 degrees at night, hovers around 78 to 84 in the afternoon. Humidity 50 at night mid 30's during day. (I keep the temp. sensor right next to the plants)
Watering: I've been watering at 8 in the evening, only when the plants are dry. Over the last week theyve been drinking 2 oz of water a day.
Nutrients:My closest guess to the prob. is over feeding. With this weeks Fri and Sat waterings, I gave a half dose of Canna Vega and half dose of superthrive. I noticed significant growth this weekend, but also noticed the orange spots.
Lighting: 18 on 6 off
I keep a circulating fan near the space 16 hours a day
I've also misted twice a day to try and accomidate for the low humidity.
I've left all my water out for 30 hours to get rid of the chlorine.
The tops of the plants look extremely healthy. They are about 4 inches tall and seem to be very bushy
Is this common? I've attached some pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
