A Little Problem ;)

Hi ALL,

I seem to have a bit of a problem. This is my very first time grow, so please me gently if the problem is VERY obvious or i'm just being a Muppet ;).

I have a single plant in a IWS Oxy-Pot, she has 2 x 40w 6500K (Blue) CFL's and a 80w LED (Red/Blue). I'm currently using IONIC Grow nutrient, only because i hydro guy told me not to use adv. nut's just yet, currently at 0.87 EC / 450 ppm, and had a pH of 5.8, now it's most likely 5-6 (read below), temps have been 21-23C during the day and 16-18C during the night, although i heater broke and it had a day with day time temps of as low as 16C.

As i mentioned above the reason i'm having to say 5-6pH is because i bought a nice shiny TriMeter, that would continuously monitor my pH/EC/Temp via 2 probes, it was great, until the little bast... died !. Take in mind i've had this thing for less then 1 week, not a happy bunny to say the least !!. So due to having very little money left......i have kids !, if you have them you'll understand. I had to buy a iodine test tube test thing, and although i've got it about right i can't say 100%. So at the moment can only test pH school way, until i get a replacement.

I'm unsure exactly what is wrong with her or i've done to her, as you can see in the attached picture she has only on the 2 big leaves these browny/yellowish bloches :?:

Sorry for the long post, but i think the history always helps to explain the picture :)

I would say one thing that may be causing it is the fact that there are huge water droplets on your leaves.

Just wanted to update, the two big leaves seem to have got worse, and are pointing up now. Lastnight i changed the whole water with fresh added the nutrients and got the pH to about 6 pH. Also noticed these white marks on the hydrotons ?
