A little background...
Light: 90w UFO
Distance: approx. 4" above the plant
Medium: 60% MG Potting Soil, 20% Peat, 15% Perlite, 5% Sand
Age: 25 days above ground
Water: Distilled
Soil pH: Unknown, i don't have a soil tester yet
Nutes: None yet
Concerns:
1. It's a really dark green color.
2. The growth is filling in underneath but its not growing up.
3. Yellow spots starting to form on the leaf edges.
4. New shoots are yellow/pale green compared to the rest of the plant.
Ok, here is my diagnosis but i would like others opinions before i try anything and make it worse.
Is my light too close causing it to bush up but not grow up?
Since i'm using distilled water is my plant not getting the smaller nutrients it needs to grow??
I tried to look at some of the sticky guides but the pictures wouldn't load for me making it harder to diagnosis what nutrient was actually deficient or toxic in this case. If somebody could tell me what i'm doing wrong and what i could do to make it better it' be much appreciated and you will receive +rep in return.
In the first picture you can see yellow/rust looking spot
In the second you can see the the overall growth, and that dreaded spot again
In the third you can see the pale green looking shoots
In all notice how dark green looking it is
