Brown spot on

Woke up this morning to see a small yellowing spot on 1 of my 4 Blue Dream Fem sprouts. Was not there last night. Any ideas what might be causing this? Have only been using water ph 6.0

soil or soilless... if soil, you want 6.5-6.8 pH. soilless you want 6pH ish. this is also a big pot and small plant... so could be related to irrigation practices. in this context, only water a circle around plant, but do make sure it saturates all the way down and a little runoff... wait for top 1" to dry (bit less if cococ) and repeat with a bigger circle until you are saturating entire pot with ~10% runoff. the runoff is important. it is waste water -- or toss it outside in garden, but do not let a potted plant sit in it and re-absorb over time. young plants can have blemishes... they more often grow out of these problems. as long as you apply good irrigation practices, i wouldn't worry. first 2 weeks the seed powers growth, If you have been fertilizing, take it easy for a bit. soil + ferts could be too much, whereas soilless and a ~650-750ppm mix is probably safe from get-go, but not needed as seed is self-sufficient for a bit after germination. is it possible something dripped on it? either way, if no other symptoms, expect it to look fine within a few new growth nodes.

Thanks guys. My light was set at 26” from plants. Mars Hydro recommends 24-30” so I’ll move it to 30” for now to see how it goes. Thanks so much NobodysBuds, my 2 pots in the back are pretty big, 2.5 gal. I have been watering very sparsely as these big pots take long time to dry out, I will up the ph a bit. Not using any fert because I’m using ocean forest so nothing could have dropped on it. Thanks so much for all the info.

Could be caused from the light burn you had earlier. Looks small and not anything to be concerned about. Everything looks good to me.
