I have 4 out of 5 plants showing signs of these beige "Spots" This is a first time grow. Not a great setup. Should be workable.

I also added a pic of my tiny plant just to ask why is it so tiny??


I have been watering it with regular tap water, until I found out about PH and tested it at around 7. I just mixed the water with vinegar and tested the ph at around 6. When my plants dry out I will give it the Viniger water with a bit of ultra bloom miracle grow. Hopefully this will fix the white/beige spots.


I am assuming I have an nutrient lockout... Please help me!!

Buds were you referring to the tiny plant? Or will feeding Nitrogen to them all fix these "spots"? I just bought some ultra bloom miracle gro 15-30-15. I will mix it in my next viniger and water feeding.

Ok ok guys i know my lighting is not good. It is just a 100W Halogen security light. I don't have the means of hooking up any HID lights because I have been to every store in my city looking for a light or converter to install inside. The best I found was a outside 90$ security lamp for metal halide. The best I can do it wire up a fluorescent tube where the Halogen currently is. Or wire up a bunch of CFL's on light bulb splitters.


Regardless of how bad my lighting is, I need to fix these "spots" on my leaves. The closest problem i found to mine was a guy who had "thripes" on his plant. I do not see any bugs on my plant whatsoever. Please people turn a blind eye to my setup and help me cure my plants first!!!

Get urself some 100w equiv cfls. they are cheap and will get the job done. Home depot has T adapters and socket adapters so you can have multiple cfls to one plug. check my journal

leaves look like they are being eaten by some kind of sap sucking insect bro, it might be a thrip like you said, or something else ... these guys can be REALLY small and hard to find, since they usually like to live on the underside of whatever they are on .... you could use something like neem oil or potassium soap as a spray - these on their own or combined will be an excellent organic deterrent/insecticide for soft bodied pests ... maybe hang up a few sticky fly paper traps and see what you catch ..

You MOST diffenatly need to get a bowl of DAWN dish washing soap and water and a rag, wash every single leave just like you would wash a baby. barely rub each side of the leaves ( especially underneath the leaves). I know it sounds funny but it is the way to get rid of ANY pest thats bothering you. It has to be Dawn soap not the generic shit.

Thanks you for the advice secro, alexander, and oldleave. I did see some flying insects around so I will get some sticky fly traps, and some DAWN dishsoap. These thripe fuckers are going down!
