Getting some pretty fast growth after transplanting. I want to veg as long as possible before flipping to 12/12. Gonna top dress today and give compost tea.
Yellow spots on leaves? Soil is fox farm ocean forest. Using down to earth dry amendments 4-4-4 that was mixed in when planted. Watering with dechlorinated ph adjusted tap water.
Well, for one thing, you've overloaded it with nitrogen... Fox Farm Ocean Forest is loaded with it (the NPK of the soil itself is 4-1-1), now you add dry amendments with 4-4-4 and you've got pretty hot soil. The yellow spots are looking like the start of a calcium deficiency - the calcium being blocked by the nitrogen overload.
If this were mine, I'd transplant into a larger pot WITHOUT the amendments (it needs it anyway) and give it only pH'd water for a couple of weeks. The soil will feed the plant for those weeks and hopefully doing this will allow the plant to take up the calcium it needs.
Good luck...
If you get your lights on an 18/6 cycle it will be much better for them, also stop giving so much 4/4/4. I only add 4/4/4 once a month, and only during the veg stage. Also if you just transplanted and amended your soil (or have high nitrogen in soil) you shouldn't top dress so quick.
