Can anyone help me identify the cause of the rust-colored spots on a couple of these lower leaves? I am guessing some kind of nutrient burn.

In soil you can grow with a ph between 6 and 7 to be on the sweet spot , in hydro the sweet spot is 5.8 all the run long so your EC is even too high for a classic outdoor grow. Reduce your ph , fix the fluctuation by checking the clay balls ph : did you fluched the clay balls ? because the natural ph of the clay ballas is not good for cannabis , it require a flush to bring the ph to the good level and sometimes it can take up to 3 days so it is a long process but necessary to avoid ph fluctuation. The air humidity is also clearly too low , after the seedling phase , when the plants have 3 or 4 set of leaves like yours , your huidity level should not be lower than 70% , even 60% can be enough but 35% is clearly too low , you can buy an himiidifier or you can spray watter on your plants during night time ( the second solution is not the best ) , or you can even let a water bucket in the tent and let the heat makes some humidity.

Ph is way up for hydro.Keep it at 5.8-6.3. Humidity is way to low. Seedlings need 65-70% rh. Your nutrients also seem to be up there for a seedling. You also could have splashed her a bit and gave her a burn. Gl from your grow. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ From the White House

I only see one leaf affected, since you are not top feeding (I assume) a nuet splash is out. Wait and see you have good nuets so would not expect a def long as PH right. Only recommendation I would make is trim back those nuets to about 400ppm max. DWC and DTW do allow you to run lower levels of nuets as you always replacing it at the roots.

Looks like you could have a few issues. I don't grow hydro but your ppm looks high for a plant that young. I would like to see it at 150-225 ppm. Also your water is Alkaline at 7.5 I would lower it in the range of 6-6.3. Gl with your grow

Hi @BranchRanch This first pair of leaves tends to yellow and fall, but at a more advanced stage of the plant, they seem to me to be PH variations due to the burn. from what I see in your diary you have a very high PH in the watering of 7.5. try to adjust the PH of all irrigation to PH 6. good luck mate ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™
