Gotta problem (newbie mistake)

so i was watering my girls the other day and a splash or two got on them....thing is i didnt find out till the next light cycle when i went and checked i saw this......(photos coming soon. i didnt realize i shot in raw.....oops.) but a brief description. It looks like someone took a knife and a brown marker and went to town on my girls.............i was so hurt. can they come back????/ someone please help

here they are......

Try carefully dry the leaves with a tissue or paper towel, the water magnifies the light i've heard. Apart from that nothing can be done. Should survive anyway though.

So is that light burn or mold/mildew? From what your describing its heat burn caused when water droplets on leaves act as magnifying glasses burning them. this cant happen if you have proper airflow,and temps(which in my opinion is most important in any grow!) Keep a fan blowing on plants at ALL times! Keep your ladies dancing! Have adequate intake and exaust.(all air within space should be replaced every minute)The burn cant happen because the windy environment will evap all water quickly(unless your room WAY is too humid) Your plants will be fine.

no nutes ? just water you are fine try an oscilating fan after you water to dry up any excess

not using anything but superthrive and homemade roothormone made from williow bark right now. i want a strong root system before i start a treatment of nutes....

i think its light burn but im not entirly sure. as far as temp it stays between 78-84 at all times even at night so i wont shock them......and humidy....well i keep a fan oscilating during the day cycle but i never really paid much attention to the actual RH, i figured since these were resistant strains i didnt need to worry about it so much. and there in a closet that opens all the way up into a bigger room with a BIGASS fan <-------this is seriously the name of the company btw) so i think i have enough air circulation. this is my 4 attempt at growing so i went all out...if this fails im probably going to stick to just buying.....this shit is hard..

4th attempt huh? just get some promix(soiless medium with no nutes) fill up some 3 to 5 gallon pots with drainage holes. Buy some two or three part ph balanced(ph perfect)formula like AN sensi pro or GH grow micro bloom and feed half to three quarter strength what it says on the bottle(small plants use quarter strength).Water plants until they have 10 percent runoff each watering.collect and dispose runoff!use RO or distilled water ALWAYS! water with plain water between feedings,have good air circulation and strong light and should be easy? PS more food dosent mean faster growth!trust me just be easy with nutes and additives in general

yea i didnt have anyone to guide me the first couple times....im using fox farms ocean forest cut 50 with miracle grow organic no fertilizers added so i wont burn them.....and i have another problem...some one said my light may be too strong for my growing area...its a 6ft by 2 closet and im using a 600watt Mh wide spectrum bulb...is this true

You made a mistake. Lesson learnt. Don't get you leaves wet under the lights. They will live, just. Looks like you were doing ok.

Fox farm ocean forest is a quality soil and you had to go and add walmart in the pic with some miracle grow!!! Next time use straight ffof with a third perlite and dolomite lime .just give distilled water for the first month,thats a no fail method!About the light, no it is not true! you just have to keep it cool and far enough away. so it dosent make ur plants uncomfortable. Try this... put your hand where your plants are for a minute... does it feel like you could comfortably keep your whole body where your hand is for 12 to 24 hrs(depending on cycle)?. if so,then your plants are fine.600 watts is perfect, the goal is to have 40 to 50 watts per square foot or 5000 to 7500 lumens per square foot.Your area = 6ft x 2ft is 12sq ft. 600 watts divided by 12 sq feet is 50 watts per sq ft. or you could do 90000 lumens divided by 12 sq ft which is 7500 lumens per sq ft Thats the Perfect amount of light!!! Your space is a little long so mabye get a three foot light mover and youll be good to go with light! And to be honest and im not trying to be a dick but noone guided me thru shit! i didnt even tell anyone i was growing! If your thinking your guna grow some bomb weed and not open a book or put in any real effort.Your wrong bud. i read tons of books and mags, went thru alot of mistakes and wasted a shit ton of time and doe!I still have ALOT to learn!!! I can sit here and type all day bro but you aint guna learn your own growing techniques, if you expect someone to guide you... Ill try to help as much as i can,but get some books by ed rosenthal,mel brooks,greg green,jorge cervantes,soma,etc... Let the pros guide you...peace and happy growing

not trying to be an asshole but how much reading have you seriously done on growing?

Alot of reading, a ton of reading,started growing when i was 18,(im almost 30) i didnt live with my parents and didnt have internet acess, Why? did you have a question?Are you using cfl to flower?

Must be trying the 18/6 light method. Causes way to many hermi prob for me. It certainly doesn't justify the ten or fifteen dollars per lamp increase in my bill at 1000 w per. Why have anything but a 24hour light during seedling and veg? No nutes, this is good. So many newbies see their first set of leaves and go right to work overdoseing their babies! They, should come back allright. As for your fourth attempt, I'm going to point you in the right direction! Now pay attention!! this is going to be invaluable. If You want a good grow as well as the knowlege that will last a lifetime, get online and order The Cannabis Grow Bible by greg green. I've purchased, read and shelfed, many books on the subject over my 35 + years of growing weed. This is the only book I've ever used as a total guide. This book covers everything from germinating to hash oil production. It has easy to comprehend chapters on gene manipulating, cross breading gorrilla farming hydro, soil organics, a quick guide for diagnosing your plants problems and 700 plus pictures to help you understand. It has a huge glossery and bibliography. I have changed MOST of my old methodology after getting this one. I've had it now for almost 4 years and it has never made it to the book shelf! peace.
