On Day 9 I transplated the rooter plugs into their home in the DWC buckets. I hand watered them from the top until the roots reached through the mesh into the nutrient rich water. They are on an 18-6 light schedule. I am using Canna Aqua nutrients and I decided to simply load up their recommended 'normal feeding' nutrients. The PPM reading seems a little high compared to what they recommend in their grow guide, though I am a little confused by their online tool . They have 3 different types of PPM measurements on their web page (Truncheon, Eutech, and Hanna) and I cannot figure out which type is the 'common' or typical one which would match my Nutri+ 'quick check' TDS tester (Truncheon seems closest to my measurements).

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 :)
