Here is my setup, hopefully i remembered everything.
Cabinet:
4'H X 3'W X 2'D
Lights:
It is a CFL (75W, 28W,28W,28W,28W). All on a 12/12 cycle
Airflow:
I have a 4" passive air intake, with a 4" output and a 135CFM fan.There is an 8" fan inside that blows directly on the plant.
Soil:
Using Happy Frog Soil (ph at around ~6.8 )
Watering:
I water every 3-4 days depending on the dryness of the plant. I alternate water, water, water w/ nutes. Water usually ends up around 6.2-6.5 so that runoff tests in the 6.5 range.
Temps:
Throughout the day temps range from 72-81F
Pruning:
I am constantly pruning leaves that are damaged or dying.
Plant Type:
Unknown, bag seed. Current height about 14 inches in 2gal pot (cannot really get a bigger pot in my cabinet.
Issue:
You can see in the image attached that I am getting spotting in the middle and burn edges. This continues until the whole leave dies and shrivels. Also note that the stem is brown as well. I have moved the lights changed the speed of the fans, a few weeks ago I even flushed... no avail it still is all crazy.
new foliage shows no signs of damage until they have aged and developed. I notice that the stems of those leaves have a brown like tinge to them as well. It feels like every other day I have to chop leaves of this plant to allow for new foliage to grow in healthy but the cycle keeps repeating itself.
It's not the lights proximity, and I don't believe its an airflow issue. The PH seems to be in the range of expectable. So there must be some sort of mineral deficieny? or something? i'm desperate to get through my first grow regardless of results, just so I can plan better for my next one. Any help in diagnosing the plant is greatly appreciated.
Hopefully I have provided enough info, and thank you in advanced for your assistance.
