What's up with my seedlings leaves?

I started germinating this seed 10 days ago. It popped very quickly and has been in universal soil for 7-8 days. It's a Cookie Monster Auto. It's not spider mites, nor is it a nute deficiency. I'm thinking it could possibly be mineral deposits from the water I've sprayed them with a few times. I was going to try and see if they would rub off, but seedling is too delicate.

Thanks.

Any little bugs flying around or crawling. And how often do you water?

I water every 2 days, but very little from a spray bottle just enough to saturate the area immediately around and a few inches down to ensure the young shallow roots are receiving water. I've never had past watering issues and always do it like this until the plant is a bit larger, then I'll water the whole pot thoroughly.

Also, I have a 15 watt full spectrum LED about 40 cm away from plant. Basically doing the same as past plants.

There are a few flying bugs attracted to the LED flying around. I have a small fan lightly blowing on seedling to prevent them from landing on plant.

Thanks

You should water it a bit less often. And maybe get a few more lights in there. Couple 20w cfls should do it.

The bugs are probably fungus gnats.

Thanks Nugachi

Looks like thrip damage to me. Look closely under the leaf and check if you can see anything

Cold Pressed Neem OIl is your Friend

good luck

Damn. I forgot about the neem. Derp. And I just used some to piss some bugs off from my grow too.

Good call Vostok.

Thanks Vostok l.

I'm a big believer in Neem oil. Actually sprayed some on it 2 days ago. I go fairly easy with 5 ml per liter of water with a few drops of dish soap. Not that I sprayed an entire liter on it. used it a lot in the past.

There's gotta be a predator you can get on amazon or something.

I save at least half a dozen ladybugs a day out of my pool every day and put them near my plants.
