hey there Kurow, you're right to look at the humidity, but it turns out you have a more serious problem. In fact the discoloration is due to pH fluctuations. you can tell from how there are different shapes and sizes on the spots , the red stems and downwards pointing tips. Basically fox farm soil gets this problem quite often, i've seen it a hundred times. Try to get a pH meter or better yet, pH strips , and measure the pH of the water/feed going in and going out. you should be at 6.0 going in and 6.5 going out. my guess is that the soil is not buffered correctly so you'll see you're outflow being much higher than 6.5 . Get some pH up and pH down, then pH appropriately and it should take like 5 days to a week's time to stabilise and the problem should stop spreading. Hope this helps ! 🚀

After reviewing your diary kurow it could be ph if not getting good run off each time could be a issue. Or it is starting to call for more potassium and phosphorus due to flowering setting in and it wanting to start stretching. My autos get very hungry at this transformation stage. I have a very similar spot on a dwc. I added bloom booster, and it immediately stopped. Good luck and hope this helps. Happy growing 🌱

Hello buddy it can be an anthracnose which is a disease cryptogamic. It is cause of humidity so it can be this. Good luck. Peace.
