Hi all iv been around Reading and learning but not posted
Iv got a northern light auto going it on about day day 11
Its lit with a cheapo led and a 100w cfl in an old fridge.
So all seems to be going OK but a leaf has got some marks on it and don't want it to Continue so early on any 1 no what it is I was thinking It could be nutrient difinancy or possible light burn also I'm wanting to pot and lst it when should I start cheers

To this untrained eye it looks like a touch of leaf burn.
So normal light pics might help!!!

It could be the start of something more serious but how careful are you with your nutes?
What's your pH range?
What distance from your light (led)?
And, of course, what you feeding her...(nutes type, amounts)

Ordinarily I would advise against an up pot, autos tend to lose too much time if you shock roots, so good luck if you do!
While LST anytime after its got 2-3 sets of proper leaves, gently of course.
Sure a more experienced grower will be along soon enough...

I'm not re potting was a typo lol
Ph is about 6.5 lights are about 6cm from top of plant not feeding anything just rain water. Planted in straight plain compost in an air pot(plastic pot with loads of holes drilled in lol)
 
Just a couple of pics of my untra hillbilly mini grow

”Straight plain compost”
Or
Led burn

In gonna suggest you look at compost wrapper if you still have it: its very likely its got some nutes in it.

Check for an "N-P-K" number ..
(See wide ranges of pH here, I'm in coco and aim for 5.7. Your 6.5 maybe s little high if your soil drifts up (pH your run off)
Couple o' things may help.
Keep me posted.

I see a wide ranges of pH##'s here, I'm in coco and aim for 5.7. Your 6.5 'maybe' a little high: especially if your soil drifts up (pH your run off)
A few o' those things may help.
Keep me posted
 
Let me go have a look don't think iv got the bag any more
Really was a shot in the dark as didn't have anything to do it in so went in the shed had a rummage about and found compost and pots I had the led from my fish tank sump used it for growing algie, bashed it all in an old fridge I was using as shelving. naming it covid 19 lights lol or northern corona
 
My concern is it is supplying food, and at that stage it may be a little early for it to be receiving potentially too much.

Not sure what the procedure is if it IS that - but a guess would be add an inert mix like washed and ph'd pearlite 30/40% ish and then water thoroughly: without pearlite, water releases nutes and burns, with pearlite it is surrounded by less compost and so less feed.
Moot point if its something else though.
So
Its in veg so backing light off 6 inches won't hurt.
Check the PH of your run off; if its way high, this maybe beginnings of a nute lockout.
Flush and correct.

If damage continues after 24/48, then get some spacing aerator in the soil: pearlite, rice hulls, vermiculite coco etc but you wanna dilute what's got contact with roots.
(Just by chance, do you remember it saying it would feed for x months or similar, n thinking 'oh, brilliant. That'll do!?! Lol)
But again, I'm not so well seasoned, so take what I'm saying as a lightly educated guess. A pro voice would be better.
