    Help with--Brown rusty colored spots leaves

    Hi guys
    I have a problem with a few of my leaves with rusty brown colored spots all over them.
    I'm doing DWC with air stones.

    I have included a few pictures to give you guys a better idea.
    Any advice and tips would be appreciated..
    Thanks in advance.
    btw
    I'm in 18/6 light cycle (third week vegging)
    Nutes:using 1-1-1 g-m-b
    1 tbs of Cal/Mag per gallon
    1 tbs of fossil fuel per gallon.
    my staring ph is at 5.4 and with in a week it raises to about 6.8-6.9
    My nute PPM is at 920.
    My H2O baseline ppm starts at 450ppm!

    I'm thinking it might be the Liquid Light I sprayed on the leaves.
    idk..

    Help with--Brown rusty colored spots leaves

    The first thing I would focus on is your ph. You want to keep your ph between 5.5-5.8 for hydroponics. Allowing the ph to swing as far as you have can create unwanted stress and lock-out some nutrients.
    Start by maintaining your ph for about a week and see if things improve. The already effected leaves won't get better, so just watch the new growth.

    One other thing, sometimes a fast rising ph is a sign of algae or slime growth in the reservoir. So also keep an eye on your res for signs of this.

    Hope this helps and happy growing. :hippy:

    If you're bucket fert is good and you feel confident in it, I wouldn't spray anything on the leaves.

    Thanks for the graph!
    I'll try and keep my ph @ 5.8

    I won't spray anything else on the leaves.

    I'll keep you guys updated.
