2 Problems actually.
Problem 1
This is my first grow, started with feminized Lowryder Diesel seeds. It is an auto-flowering strain. I am growing in an Aerogarden supplemented by two 200W equivalent (~65W real) Cool White 4000K CFL's. I started this grow about 3 weeks ago. When I started adding nuts (about 2 weeks ago) I started with Age Old Grow at 150 PPM and worked my way up to about 400 PPM. When I first noticed these spots (which was about a week and a half ago), I added Age Old Calmag32. These nutes were recommended by an employee at the grow shop, but I found out later that they really aren't for hydro systems like my Aerogarden. About 4 days ago, I flushed the reservoir with distilled water and refilled with only distilled water and FoxFarm's Grow Big and added a half tsp a day until it attained it's current saturation at 640 PPM. The spotting slowed, but I am not sure that it stopped.
Problem 2
As you can see from pictures of both plants, they are drooping! This started two days ago, when I added another CFL. The temp got kind of high, so I pulled that CFL and turned off all but the Aerogarden lamps, and it has bounce back just a little. Nute solution is still as I left it in problem 1, 640 PPM FoxFarm Grow Big.
Yes, I have been anal about keeping PH in check (it seems to creep up daily in this tiny reservoir).
Any ideas? Are these separate problems?
