The appearance of white spots on cannabis leaves after flushing can be concerning, and it's important to correctly diagnose the cause to treat it effectively. Based on the conditions you've described (growing in coco coir/perlite mix, pH levels, temperature, and humidity), here are some potential causes and corresponding treatments for the white spots: Nutrient Deficiency: Flushing can sometimes leach essential nutrients from the growing medium. White spots might indicate a deficiency, possibly of calcium or magnesium. Treatment: After flushing, re-introduce a balanced nutrient solution that's appropriate for the flowering stage, ensuring it includes calcium and magnesium. Fungal Issues: Fungal growth like powdery mildew can also appear as white spots on leaves, especially in conditions with fluctuating humidity. Treatment: If it's a fungal issue, you'll need to use a fungicide. Ensure good air circulation in the grow area and try to stabilize the humidity levels. Pest Infestation: Certain pests, like spider mites, can leave tiny white spots on leaves where they feed. Treatment: Inspect the plants closely for pests. If pests are found, use an appropriate insecticide or natural pest control method. Water Quality or pH Fluctuations: The spots could be a reaction to sudden changes in pH or water quality. Even if the pH is correct, there might be issues with the water you're using. Treatment: Ensure the water quality is consistent. You might want to test your water source for any irregularities. Light Burn: Sometimes intense lighting can cause bleaching or white spots on the leaves. Treatment: Check your light distance and intensity. Make sure your plants are not too close to the light source. Physical Damage: If the spots appeared right after flushing, it's possible that physical handling or water pressure caused minor damage to the leaves. Treatment: Be gentle when handling plants and avoid direct water pressure on leaves. In dealing with this issue, consider these steps: Diagnosis: Carefully examine the plants to confirm the cause of the white spots. Look for patterns, additional symptoms, and consider all environmental factors. Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments to your growing environment, nutrient schedule, and watering practices. Monitoring: After treating, monitor the plants closely for any changes or improvements

For what reason did you flush? Coco coir pH should be around 5.8. I am going with nutrient salt burns as the cause of the spots, probably released from the coco when you flushed. Any other problem would not shown up overnight, they would show up gradually over a few days. Probably built up in the coco due to only giving 250ml per plant when irrigatinig. When growing in coco, getting run off each time you irrigate is essential. Nothing will fix the damaged leaves, but lower your pH a bit, ensure you are giving enough water/fertilizers when you irrigate so that there is run-off (excess water coming out the bottom of the pot) and maybe included a calcium/magnesium supplement to your feeding. For better results next grow, try using pots twice as big and fewer plants.

CZ is right buddy im pretty sure this is a ph problem. the grower below me is right again the ph should be between 5.5 and 6.5 prefrabally at 5.8 is usually the sweet spot. I wouldnt worry about it too much if your flushing your going to see alot more than this soon lol I would of gave it a week or more two myself but your plant your rules buddy best of luck. keep in mind cannabis will bulk up most in the last few weeks of flower as they are trying to attract male pollen and a bigger bud means better chance a pistil will get pollinated. obv we dont want that to happen just so food for thought buddy keep it green :)
