Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

Seeing some top bud leaf discolorationStarting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves.
Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves.
Could it be signs of anything else?
Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity6y ago

Brown/Grey spots on the leavesHey, I hope this is my last question for this grow :P I've noticed some brown/grey spots on the yellowing leaves, what could they be, deficiencies or sunburn? I'm still feeding the plant with nutes, but the next watering will be a flush, so I didn't expect discoloring before that6y ago

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light SoilOn my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?Buds. Not fattening

Organic peat controlI think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?Leaves. Tips - Burnt
