I'm currently flowering my Turbo Jack, 1 month from seed, everything has been going great so far but the past three days I noticed a yellow/orange spot on two leaves, I thought maybe one of my lights touched it and burned it but it has gotten worse, just checked on her today and it looks a little more serious, as If it is spreading on those same two leaves, any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope she's ok.

I haven't given any nutrients, I just planted her straight into FF ocean forest soil, I have been just using Aquafina bottled water, I water once every two days, I get decent run off.. Could it be a PH issue? I haven't invested in a PH tester yet

The closest leaf blades looks like light burn (too close or even rubbed up against the light)

The lower leaf with yellowing along the ridges is a potential problem.

It can be several things, better catch it now

Looks like a K deficiency to me. That could be down to over fertilisation, but if you haven't fed then it seems unlikely. Maybe the soil is just running out of K. MJ uses a lot of it. Now might be a time to add some bloom nutes. K deficiency usually starts at the top of the plant and works its way rapidly down. When it is caused through over fert (as salts prevent K transport) the whole plant can be pHucked ina few days... with under fert the process is more gradual. But K is an essential nutrient... best feed some.

Thank you for your advice, I don't have time to order anything online as u can tell, it would take roughly 5-7 days to get here so I need a quick solution, walmart, tractor supply, lowes are my only options. Any suggestions?

your roots are are.......scrunched up like, inna tight spot. you feed them.....itsa too much, but then. it getsa flushed out, cause itsa so smalla volume.

more medium, less feeds, greater stability of grow.......imo.

Ok that makes sense, I guess for now ill just start will a really low dose of bloom nutrients, or should I wait til my PH tester arrives? I just ordered a digital tester, and bloom nutrients but im afraid it wont make it here in time..

Your yield will be affected by a smaller volume for root growth but nutrient uptake won't be affected. I've grown deep water through to full harvest in a 500ml pot before... also grown shallow water (a shared SoG) in 2" of water.

You can also go overkill on the medium.

no.....I like it. weak feeds with every water, but let it dry out between. maybe a pinch of minerals watered in, too.

salt-poisoning isn't easy in a container? let alone an inappropriately small one? that doesn't quite jibe with my experience. he's not doing a bottom-leach/water. just straight up soil, I believe. Dell.....wherever he is.........grew unbelievable gear in cups.......thimbles! I dare say. he also bottom-fed/leached/watered. but it was a little voodoo, and not a good style for non-expert growers. these young guys should be using plenty of medium, to provide buffer/stability to their grows. they can experiment down, once deft growers. imo :)
