They all look like spots next to a fan leaf you removed. Is it possible you damaged the tiny leaves as they were emerging? I have had branches that grow after topping look like that for its first set of leaves.

Fan leaves show a problem. Looks like calcium.
Stems are red.
Growths look twisted and unhealthy and losing color.

Not all of them look bad but I'll assume this problem is getting worse and eventually all will look like that.

You have nute issues. Put out a request for help. Leaves are blotchy, necrotic with brown spots. As well as crispy edges and and uneven appearance.

Not up to the task here today. But it is what you need to look into.

Good luck.

nah I didn’t damage them, I actually cut those leaves off after I noticed so I could get a better picture. I did top these plants about a week or so ago. Another thing these have in common is that I supercropped these two plants and the stem was hollow on these two plants and it kind of split, but that was about a week or so ago.

yeah I had a calcium deficiency but I think I corrected that problem as it’s not getting worse. Maybe I’ll raise the nutes a bit more? You think that’s what caused it and I just didn’t notice til now?

Have you actually looked at the roots? Yet?
yeah I took a look at them, they look white for the most part. They’re usually a bit tan/brown because I use floralicious plus and it kind of stains them a bit. They don’t smell bad or anything tho. This is my first hydro grow tho so I could very well be wrong.

Check for mites! ASAP! I had a recent problem and those white spots.... was mites little fuckers! I made a spray of dawn and water but I’m waiting for my NPK mighty for the bastards!! Check under the leaves and I. The dense places for tiny black spots and tiny whit specs. Those would be the eggs!

I’ll check but it’s been about 40 degrees outsides where I live for the last few weeks, I’d be surprised if it’s mites. Could be tho.

Michi-can how worried should I be about this?
It’s my first hydro grow and I keep thinking I did something horribly wrong and my plants are just gonna drop dead lol.

Wasn’t 32. Check my plant went from looking healthy to looking like it was going to die in like 2 days. It was the seeker of my 2 green cracks. They also got to my Afghan kush! Better safe than sorry please believe me!! CHECK!!

Those white spots are not from mites.

I like what MICHIGA-CAN said.

I've never fixed a problem by adding more nutes.
yeah I didn’t see any mites. So, what nutrients am I lacking? It seems like calcium and maybe phosphorus? Should I just do a res change with a different nutrient solution? I did notice my EC in my res dropped since yesterday, so Its definitely not high enough
