Problem with leafs....

[kdspecial]

I have had a few plants in this space. And this problem has been happening to the leafs. I figured it wasa nutrient thing. But now I have found that it has started on some smaller plants that I have yet to give nutrients too.

It starts off as a wrinkle in the leaf almost like a deformaty. a little ripple in the leaf on the outer edge then it eventully dies. and goes yekllkow like in this picture.

Any help would be awsome. The soil is Coco and the light is Cfl T5 sunsytem 8000 lummes 4 bulbs 94W total 2ft x 2ft

Im wondering if its a heat thing? As its smoking in Toronto these summer days. 80+ I have Ac on and box stays at about 80

what kind of nutes are you using?what strength are you feeding.do you mist your plants?

[kdspecial]

I have never given this plant nutes. Just water and yes I have misted it. As my other plants.

I try to mist when lght is off. 1hr before it goes on or so.

stop misting,you should only mist maybe 1 or 2 times a week.looks like to much water sitting on the leaves to often

Ok Cool will give it a try now thinking of it. This did show up a day or 2 after I misted. And the same thing happened on my Other plants too. Is misting a good idea? Or is it better to just water through the soil?

Misting the leafs seems like a direct way to get water to your plant. but i guess if its a healthy plants it should be able to take it all from the roots right?

Plant looks healthy. Porbably heat related. If you mist, add some neem to the water so you don't get fungus.

Yes im glad to see this seedling healthy compared to my others which are looking better but not in good shape due to my Noob Growing experience.

Neem oil eh I have been using that to stop bugs from killing my tomatoes It works to stop fungases eh?

Should I even bother misting my Plants? does it help them much? If so what times and how Often?

thanks for any help

Neem is truly an amazing substance. I like to mist my plants at least daily with neem right up to the 3rd week of flower. They are glossy and even though I still have a huge thrip problem, the plants are showing almost no damage. And I have NEVER knock on wood had either fungus or mites.
