Hi everybody,
Issue: I'm a first time grower currently 8 weeks into flowering my sleeping monkeys from seed and I've ran into an issue that has persisted for the past couple of weeks.
As seen in the photos, many of my leaves have tiny yellow dots on them and almost the entire stem of this one plant has turned purple. The stems are still very green right near the flower and as it enters the soil. The other 3 plants seem mostly unaffected and have exact same watering schedule, nutrients, etc. I changed to 12-12 about 8 weeks ago and this issue started about 2 weeks ago. One of the other plants is starting to show some of the same symptoms but they're very minor. Yellow dots seems to affect plant pretty evenly.
Nutrients: Pure Blend Pro, Hydroplex bloom enhancer, Sweet Raw, Liquid Karma. I use half the manufacturer's recommended dose of each. -> Shown in picture below
Watering: I water a gallon per plant once a week (when the soil is mostly dry down at root level) with the nutrients shown in the picture. I always soak up the runoff water to prevent root rot.
Humidity: 16-25 %, I know this is low but these plants have been doing great with such low humidity since seed so I doubt this is the issue.
Lights: Fluorescent T5 HO 24W -> Shown in picture below.
Any ideas of what could be causing this? I did flush with PH water right before this happened so my original thought was that the plant was starting to eat the chlorophyll in the leaves as it was actually starving. After watering again with nutrients the yellow dots seem to have stopped spreading and the stems have remained purple. I haven't noticed it getting worse, but it also doesn't seem to be getting better. It also seems that the flower growth may have been stunted this whole time as they haven't noticeably grown. Also they seem very small for week 8... or is this normal?
