Ratleanswered grow question 2mo ago Just crossed my mind, transpiration is something not mentioned. If the leaves can't transpire from poor conditions can cause those spots you have and sometimes they start to raise, pimple like. With a bad mix of too much light, high humidity or lack of, poor airflow, over or under watering will definitely cause this issues. When I grow in soil I only have to water 7-8 days during veg and every 3-4 days during flower. Feed every other water. Of course your medium used is going to affect that. I'm not a fancy person and stick to soil, hasn't failed me so why change. I see you have the probe in the soil, not a fan of those, I didn't have better luck until using a PH pen for my readings and to check my TDS. I don't top until there are minimum 4 nodes on the plant but to each their own. From what you posted in diary seems like a lot of stress to soon.
