Brown Dots on older leaves, and drooping off and on, PICS, Please Help

[budtoker0987]

First Grow and im on day 30 into veg. Wonder woman clones.
400w MH
5x5 tent
distilled water 6.5 ph
FoxFarm medium
FloraNova nutes
Diamond Necter foliar spray (once a week)
68-70 degrees about 40% humidity
water every other day or a lil longer if needed and feed every other water

I've had my light about 12 inches away from canopy but have been worried about them not getting as tall as and the top of the tallest one was getting pretty light green so I'm thinking of raising it to like 18-20 inches??
The older (and some newer) leaves are getting these brown spots on them.
And they get droopy off and on, mostly the top half

Any help really helps me a lot at this point. First grow!! I NEED YA!!

Water once/twice a week...FF has all you need for veg. (No nutes needed) Adding nutes to FF is redundant & could cause a lockout condition where the plant won't take up any nutes. More is not always better. Otherwise, looks good for first grow. Keep lights as close as possible without causing heat stress. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the input Jack

I appreciate the relply dude! So even tho those are in one gallon pots and feel really light on the second day (when i would normally water).... youd say like every 3 days then?
what do you think about the lil brown spots? ANyone??

It looks like a build up of nutrient salts as a result of over firt . you can flush your soil or just change it.

you neeed to flush and water with ph adjusted water for the next 30 days

are your one gallons light or dry ?

and also you are going to have continuous problems if you dont get them into bigger pots, your root systems going to grow to the top of the soil...lol

lil brown spots are a potash deficiency, caused by your pH imbalance in the soil like jack is tellin you. do what jack and his bird dog say. Im havin the same problem with ocean forest as well, and mine is caused by heat stress, which led to the pH imbalance, causing my plants to lock out N and K.

also, the humidity is too high, it needs to be a little dryer for the leaves to produce resin on them, to protect it from dry conditions

repotting = two birds one stone!

Just flush wit 3 times the amount of water as to what your container would hold, ie, if your growin in 1 gal pots, thats 3 gal pH adjusted water, and dont listen about your humidity. your good. This guy dont know, except about the repotting.

Thats true of flowering stage only , but not veg.

Light meaning dry like pretty much (i think) as light as they were when I fist transplanted them to the pots without adding water yet...

So not 6.5 ph?? i thought that was the "sweet spot"

You thinkin 3 galloners then?? i wanted to get em to like 2feet then flower...??
And when I do that i've been hearing ppl saying mix like 30% perlite in the meduim?? What u guys think?

let them dry out a little more, roots need to have an air exchange to thrive.
