Burns caused by drops of water. They act as a solar lens under the lights, only water when you are about to turn them off.

My guess is some water or dew formed there and your lights burned your girl a bit. They look very healthy otherwise!! Happy growing!

I have no idea what these brown spots are on my seedling?
Brown/ rusty looking spots on seedling. Only thing I did was spray with a Epson salt and B52 foliar spray. The soil is deprived of magnesium so that’s why. I think I corrected by using cal mag. The sister plant is a few weeks ahead and showing recovery.

Too much light or other deficiency
Too much light or some other deficiency? I’ve been having some issues with yellowing leaves and some other issues with browning and wilting/curling which I thought was initially nutrient lock but what I noticed is all four plants were not stunted and continued to grow normally.

Black spots spreading // Need your help!
Anyone got a clue what this dark spots could be? It started in a corner of the tent with 1 plant a few weeks ago and now it has spread to another. I suspect pH issues and a nutrient lockout bc of that. Not sure if its the same issue though..Could be an infection as well...

How's the quality?
How would you rate the quality of these plants? The dark brown leaves have me self conscious of the roots situation. DIY supersoil mix recipe here: https://pastebin.com/pbxMZysq I've added more dolomite & guano as topdressing and fed liquid calmag and potassium during flowering.

What is this brown intrusion upon my plant? And how do I obliterate it?
Another question?! Anyway, what the hell is this browning? I think it's light burn. But why is it lower too? PH? Magnesium? Nitrogen toxicity? Par: 1300 PPFD Fox Farm tiger bloom 7 ml/gal. Fish Shit 3 ml/gal. See diary for environmental conditions. Thanks for the help. Again.

Why leaves brown? (urgent)
Some leaves turn brown as in the photo. Leaves in the middle turn brown first, then bottom leaves. Now I try making larger lamp-to-plant distance and feeding less nutrients, but no good sign appears. Other conditions are stated in my diary. Why do you think it is?
