Healthy?

They are growing very fast right now, but some leaves have spots as you can see. Unfortunately, I watered with too high a pH value (around 8) in the first weeks, but I've adjusted that now and they are getting their 6.4. Maybe nutrient deficiency? Should I add Bio Grow?

Looks like the plants had a little funky moment and you responded quickly with what they needed. Always let the grow medium dry back and water with healthy plain water a couple of times to reset them. This way you can rule out lock out. If your plants are growing fast you’re doing great, why not add a little bio grow. If they are autos go really low with the dosage, quarter strength to begin. In my experience Bio grow is potent and can cause nitrogen toxicity in autos if applied heavily to young plants. You might get told it calcium and some other specific nutrient…maybe but you treated the plant holistically with ph plain water and put it back on track. The new growth of your plants looks healthy green great job, good luck Ferniz👍

Hi. It could still be a result of the high pH level. How long have you been adjusting to 6.4? I would stick with that for now. Fertilize very lightly at most – an eighth of the suggested amount. Good luck.

Don't worry too much about such young plants. Especially when they're this small, the roots might not be developed enough yet, and therefore they may not provide enough nutrients for the relatively fast leaf growth. If you fertilize right away, it can lead to an excess, which can harm the young plant. I would wait a few more days; if the leaves are still pale, then fertilize. Good luck :)
