This is how it started on its first true set but its starting on leaves higher up. Didnt snap a more recent pic phones charging lol.

Is this calcium deficiency or is this just nute burn? Starts as a sutble yellowing and then the yellow spot dies but it doesn't effect much of the leaf.

Soil ph is a little low at 6.5

Havent used any fertilizer yet as im using 100% FFOF and ots pretty loaded already.

Ill add more photos a little while later
 
Looks like it’s just splash back from watering, especially if it’s only on that leaf touching the soil.

good luck!

Yeah i pulled a little soil out after that pic was taken. I planted my seed way too deep, this is my first go at growing seriously. These did start developing about a day or 2 after watering though. Thanks.
 
Steady for the course. The early single finger leaves are often a little wonky. FFOF can be a little hot for a young plant but it’s just a matter of the plant powering through until it’s big enough to handle it.

Also, careful jumping to calcium deficiency for orange spots. Excess calcium can do the same thing, which can occur if you have hard tap water, ie, water with a high ppm. Adding CalMag to hard tap water for use in soil is a recipe for problems.

Personally, I’d stick with tapwater at 6.5pH until the plant is a few weeks old. It wouldn’t hurt to figure out the ppm of the water though….

Im using distilled water, no nutes. Wasnt thinking it for sure was calcium deficiency just wondering. Shes doing fine otherwise. Ive only had to water 2 times and i used a little less than a gal each time. Another person said it might just be splashback from watering which is what Im thinking, I did get slash the leaves pretty good both times on accident. My watering can sucks lol
