Ok. Seems good. They’ll probably grow out of it, this maybe counter intuitive but a foliar spray of kelp helps if its nutrient stress. Underline the if in that sentence.

This was what i was told and understood to be correct before i started my first grow. PH`D WATER, 6.1-6.6 range for soil nute uptake. I kept my water ph`d within range for that entire grow so far and haven't had any issues at all.
Which is why i was kinda blaming my ph pen and some outta range water for causing the spots. Then i read i didnt have to ph my water in FFOF and im more confused than ever lol

Dude, everyone is different and does the same shit differently. I’m just telling you, in an organic amended mix. You don’t need to ph. Thats just what i do and have more than satisfactory results. As i told you, look up into organics. Its the decaying organic matter thus the microbes is what feeds the plant in an organic situation. If you’re going to feed chemical ferts, i would ph too. But in that case i wouldn’t throw money for ffof. Thats all.

Ya i understand what you are saying and it makes sense even to a newb like me, but i have also read so many times that we should always be ph`ing our water in soil to 6.1-6.6 and have read numerous replies like beachwalkers, that states to always PH in FFOF
so you can understand the confusion for a newbie like myself, when i am literally being told both ways are wrong lol and both ways are right.
I am here to learn and apply. you guys are all so much smarter than i in this field, just trying to figure everything out.

Thanks, i hope you are right.
Would getting ph`d water directly on those leaves cause discoloration or the spots maybe?
they have always sat low , near or in the soil, getting splashed when watereda few times im sure.
im wondering if that could be the cause?

Bro, its everyones personal journey. We learn from our mistakes and better ourselves. Now you can actually contact the company and ask them for the most reliable info. Me, personally only used biobizz light and all mix and plagron bat-mix. Never phed. Never had any problems.

If it can get any simpler than what I am doing, by all means tell me lol
This is what my grow has consisted of so far , currently day 14 flower
Open soil
Put soil in pot
Put seeds in soil
Ph water only, until nutes from soil are depleted. Last grow that was 40+ days.
Transplant to final pot
Feed 1 part floranova bloom
I spent more time training them outta boredom lol
I am being sincere, if you know a way to make it even easier, I am open to suggestions lol

I don't think I would pH water. You'd just make the entire contents a little acidic, probably not necessary. Plain water or buy distilled from a store if you don't feel good about your tap water.
