Started getting these white spots on my leaves not sure what to do, I don't want any more showing up.. How do I stop this from spreading??... I'm growing white widow, using aerogarden ultra LED, PH I keep around 5.8-6.0 .. I am using Dutch master gold at half strength nutes.. What do u think it is? The plant is in its second week of veg..

It happens... They will probably outgrow it. Don't start doing things. Just wait.

My be cal mag jus make up some filer feed and spray 1 a week if it's a cal mag.i have LEDs and you tend to get a slight cal mag dif.
but that's good advice to stand back and wait for a bit very good.

If you're using RO water then you need to add Cal-Mag. If you're using Tap Water you probably don't need to add any just yet.. She's a little girl still.

Also, can't really tell what she's potted in but her roots may be out of space down below. Plants do funny things when they run out of space..

Again, patience is key. Don't analyze every little spot or blemish you see. If it persists, you may have an issue. If not, it may have been something she worked out on her own.

the new growth looks really good. leave it be for now and let it grow. keep it green! GL

Thanks guys, are there any stores I can get a good PH tester?? Mine jumps around and takes way to long to get a reading I think is only coming close to what the actual PH is

I have been using tap water, and there is plenty of room in the tank for her roots lol,, and the spots are starting to turn brown... Just makes me kind of worried,, trying to stay on top of this, I hear things change fast when using hydroponics... She is also planted in the pods that come with the aerogarden.. It sits it hangs down and sits with the bottom of the pod touching the water surface, the roots are in the res floating around

What is the temperature of the water in the rez?

 

[Jayjay732]

I don't have an exact temp but I would say 50s-mid to low 60s... The water is pretty cool but not freezing.. I like to keep the water chilled because my last plant caught pythium

The white blotchy spot has turned brown and now there are more that have popped up just overnight... I rush ordered some calimagic in case this is a cal mag deficiency.. Let me know what you guys think about this situation..

How wet do you keep your soil? What is the humidity in your room?

Are the Led lights provided in Aerogarden Ultra Led enough or do you need to put some extras ?

I started my plants in the aerogarden ultra led too. I had the same thing happen. The first few leaves got brown spots that progressively got worse. All the new growth was fine though. I just kept the ppm low till the plants were established. The older leaves would get brown spots, but it was only on the bottom of the plant. The top leaves were fine. I did upgrade to a 180watt UFO led light, the stock 30watt panel didn't seem like it would be enough for flowering. My plants are still doing fine. One has about 10-15 days left, the other about 20-30 I think. I'm using distilled water. Distilled water has a ph around 5.6 . I haven't had any real problems other than the few brown spots on the lower leaves. Just keep an eye on it, it should be fine.
