This will be my first grow attempt. My plan is to grow two White Widow Auto-flowering plants in a deep-water culture hydroponic system: two five-gallon DWC buckets in my 2 x 4 x 6 grow tent. Seeds: two seeds from i49 seed bank (weed seeds canada). I soaked the seeds in water for 13.5 hours, then used the paper towel method to germinate in the dark in a warm room. Both seeds popped @ 2 days and when they had 1” sprouts I transplanted into rapid rooter plugs (pre-soaked, briefly) in shot glasses with some water in the bottom. The plugs stayed very wet so I moved them out of the shot glasses so they could drain, and I kept them moist. By day 7, there were signs of life from the tops of both rooter plugs.

Can anyone help me identify the cause of the rust-colored spots on a couple of these lower leaves? I am guessing some kind of nutrient burn.

In soil you can grow with a ph between 6 and 7 to be on the sweet spot , in hydro the sweet spot is 5.8 all the run long so your EC is even too high for a classic outdoor grow. Reduce your ph , fix the fluctuation by checking the clay balls ph : did you fluched the clay balls ? because the natural ph of the clay ballas is not good for cannabis , it require a flush to bring the ph to the good level and sometimes it can take up to 3 days so it is a long process but necessary to avoid ph fluctuation. The air humidity is also clearly too low , after the seedling phase , when the plants have 3 or 4 set of leaves like yours , your huidity level should not be lower than 70% , even 60% can be enough but 35% is clearly too low , you can buy an himiidifier or you can spray watter on your plants during night time ( the second solution is not the best ) , or you can even let a water bucket in the tent and let the heat makes some humidity.

@BranchRanch, I must have been and I apologize. She's looking really good. She really pulled through that nute burn very well.

@tone618, thanks for commenting. You must have been looking at some earlier week where I had some trouble due mostly I think to nutrient burn. Things are looking better now :)
