Dont know how they got there anyone seen this before. I posted a pic in the general discussion forum but not too much help yet and really would like to fix the problem. I recently did some work in the room and think saw dust got into the air but they may or may not have anything to do with the spots. Once again they look like reddish brown specks all over the leaves. Thx for any help

im no expert but it looks like ph lockout causing defiancys, try getting your ph to 6.5 in dirt and 5.8 in hydro flush and re nute.

i dont spend too much attention on ph, so i dont know much about it myself, but i would say it looks like the beginning of nutrient deficiency, or over watering, perhaps if your using tap water you may have too much iron, try switching your water, or filter it

that's a magnesium deficiency.
Use 1 teaspoon of epsom salt to 1 gallon of water and that should help, the damaged leaves will not heal but the new growth will be fine. Water a couple of time with the mixture and then once with no epsom salt.
I use cal/mag which is essential if your not using dolomite lime.

What soil mixture, water, the pH of the water, nutrients and at what ratio, how often do you water?

Plants don't look like that from overwatering. Stop speculating, switching water won't help either. If you don't know the answer don't post...

Heres some more specifics. I use RO water, add Botanicare CNS 17grow, Cal Mag, and GH's floralicious plus. Clones came from reputable dispensary that breeds there own stuff too, I just dont see how I would have a difficiency. Thank you all though. I think the epson salt is my best bet though.

gangjababy- My clones are young. I would say about 7-9inches tall. Im using about 30ml of botanicare grow to 5 gallons of RO water. I also add about 15ml of calmag (its about 5ml per gallon, but I feed alot less in the beginning) as well as 3-4ml of GH's floralicious plus as a catalyst. I then PH the water (only using the liquid solution to find my PH) at about 6-6.5 based on color of solution. I bought some epson salt today but can you give me kind of a how to, on using it. How many times should I use it, with or without nutes? Thanks so much for the help

I know but I meant do I only feed once then go back to nutes or do I flush the epson salt on the next feed? Sorry just wanted a few more details
