Has anyone seen this kind of issue........brown spotting on leaves. The strain is Fatkid's cake / using Remo Nutrients / Early stage of Veg.

I'm no expert grower but would like to hear from anyone who has encountered this issue.

My guess would be a bit of root rot from over watering. That looks like coco though - I've never grown in coco but everyone pretty much says overwatering is impossible when using it. Still, that's what it looks like to me.

The tops look OK so whatever ailed it doesn't appear to be ailing it now.

You can get a few of those spotting leaves lower down when the feed levels are still at the lowest recommended level and the plants are getting bigger. I just saw a couple leaves on my plants close to the centre of the screens - so they would be some of the first larger fan leaves the plants put out - but don't see that in the new growth. If I see spots like that, I take that as my cue to start to gradually increase their feed. That spotting does stop - as did yours by looking at the upper leaves.

And you will most likely remove those lower leaves soon. The plants will get much larger and those lower leaves become light starved as a matter of normal plant maturity. Once they are light starved, they become useless and are clipped off.

Thanks......good comments. And you are correct, I will be starting mainlining/topping soon so the lower leaves will get removed.

I've now done hundreds of starts from seed and and ~5% of them were slow, weak, sickly, had spots like this, or mutant, or didn't even sprout.

Don't be so quick to think its something you're doing wrong when it could be just growing pains of average genetics.

I had thought about that exact point and I would agree............basically, just stick with the process I know and dont over complicate the issue.
