I personally leave them in the dark for a day after they break ground. But it's safe to run the light at the schedule of your choosing. 🤘😤

Rust spots on leaves
Hey guys, please help me identify the cause of these rust spots on leaves. Seems to progress in last couple of days(spread). Might this be a light/heat burn? Or some nute def? I added CalMag on previous feeding. Distance to light is 32cm currently.

Yellow leaf septoria?
Hi, I think some of my plants have yellow leaf septoria. How best to treat this? Should I consider removing leaves, plants or maybe starting again. It might of been due to my constant misting to maintain a high humidity at the start or I was also thinking fungus gnats

Weird Spots on almost every leaf overnight? (Leaf Burn???) My plant developed these spots on the leaves basically overnight...
I was looking after them just yesterday evening and the plant was fine, however I did a mistake. The left plant got completely wet (i had to move it through the rain) and i did not dry it before the light went back on. Right plant is completely fine. No pests (thrips spimis etc.)

Film-like substance on leaves
Any ideas what's causing this "film-like" substance? Doesn't look like web, possibly trichome liquid? I'm thinking of harvesting -- about correct time -- as I'd rather harvest and cure early than lose it. My plan originally was to wait another week or so....

What are these symptoms?
Hello everyone! My plant is currently experiencing a few symptoms that I don't quite understand. Pics 1 and 2 show them the best, with the leaves from pic 3 to 5 having similar, not so heavy symptoms. Pic 6 I believe is something else, Not windburn though, leaf is too far inside
