Dry spots on Leaves

After repotting, my Serious 6 plants developed dry spots on the bottom leaves. What could be the issue here? Transferred to 15L Autopots with recycled substrate from my last grow (exchanged top layer)

The top of your sub. Is it always that dry. Young seedlings take time to reroot themselves. So, surface moisture is very very important. To me it looks like they're feeding on themselves. Try adding some solution to the top of the soil every few days. As they get older and root more, the need for this will go as the roots will take intake

Hello! It looks to me like your seedlings were exposed to some extreme temperatures or dry conditions and possibly started sacrificing the lower leaves to survive. A laser thermometer is kinda nice for checking the leaf temperatures. If your environment is 84 degrees it is likely warmer on the leaf surface under the light... I saw that you mentioned on your diary about getting an AC unit to help control your temps. So hopefully your troubles are solved. It would still be good to double-check things like water ph, EC, and light ppfd just to make sure you didn't do something else to incite the plant to dry out.

Hello mate, the spots seem like if the water falls on the leaves the light burn them, except for this i shouldn't know what could be. Control the range of pH solution stay between 6.0-6.2 in the early veg phase and the amount of water you give them. Good luck and happy journey!

hey! Do you check the PH and EC of the nutrient solution? It looks somehow familiar. Maybe too much nutrients or an improper PH level. What type of lights are you using and what is the distance from the plants?
