Spots forming rapidly all over plant

These spots keep popping up all over this plant, particularly when she gets a bit stressed. I transplanted her last night into her final 5 gal container and came back this morning to find a bunch of these spots all over the plant from top to bottom. They definitely were not there last night. Any ideas?
media: FFOF W added perlite and Dolomites lime
No nutes have been fed up to this point. Just ph’d water.
temps mid 70’s with humidity between 50-65%

Looks more like you sprayed something or humidity droplets.You can see white film around the outside edges. Does that wipe off?

No it does not. I don’t think it’s droplets. Humidity never gets above 65%. never been sprayed with anything and I’m pretty careful when I water. Most of the spots in r be picture happened overnight all over the plant

OK so then maybe some sort of reaction from the lime? Kinda look like Ca spots?

I was thinking kinda similarly. They r coming up on week 6ish of veg and they have never been fed nutes. Just the fresh amended soil when they get repotted

It’s well water that is run through the equivalent of a Brita lol. I’ve never tested the ppm of it but I I religiously ph the water to 6.2-6.7

Thinking its from the dolo lime,which brings ph up.Your new soil already had some I think.Now your phing it down. Not sure how to fix but thats the problem Im pretty sure.Dolo lime is pretty hot.
 
You've messed up the pH of the soil.Take a sample and do a paste test.See where its at.

Alright thanks. I did a Soil slurry test not more than a week ago and soil ph was 6.7. I’ll do another when I get home. I only added about 1/2 tbsp of dolo lime per gallon of soil. I know it already has some in it but I’ve never had problems with it before. Every plant is their own tho I guess .
 
If it gets worse Easiest thing to do is re pot again into straight soil no added lime.If your water is 7-8 ph then no need to pH down.
