I was going to say calcium, too. Could also be PH spotting, but looks more like calcium. It's possible that calcium is locked out, if the PH being low. The leaves look awfully dark colored too, which is a sign of overfert. You could have nutelock from overfeeding, also.


It'd be a good idea to flush, let them dry for a couple days, then feed them with 1/2 strength, next time they need watered. That'll give the medium a fresh start, plus, fix any PH problems.

^One more thing....check the runoff as your flushing. Check it when it first starts coming out, then check it periodically. When it starts coming out the same PH as your pouring in, you'll know your PH is okay.

^It would be okay to add it after the flushing. I use 3 gallon pots, and they take 2 liters when I water or feed them, so use that as reference, to make sure you hit them with the CalMag, thoroughly. For example, if I were done flushing, I'd give them a full 2 liters of CalMag mixture, afterwards. Then let the pots drain, and put them back under the lights.

P.S. I'm not assuming you don't know any of that stuff, or that your clueless. I just like to be thorough, so that if I leave, you wouldn't be hanging here waiting for an answer. I try to explain it all in one shot, so we don't run into that situation. :)
