New Grower First grow and new to the network...

Hi Davisgirl, just checking up on you. I didn't realize that you were doing hydro, wow that's brave !
What are those red balls in your pots? I know nothing about hydro growing.

Hey, thanks for checking me out!

Those are clay pellets. The fancy name is hydroton. They just support the plant in the filter thingy that it sits in.
 
Things seem to be going well and I get confident, then one little thing happens and I start to panic.

About a week ago I sprayed neem oil as a preventative measure. An hour later I turned the lights back on. A day or so later, I noticed these brown spots on the leaves. I THINK I turned the light on too soon after I sprayed but now it’s bothering me. Can I get an opinion?

We need to see them in white light. Get a 5000K CFL to take pictures.

Thank you Man O’Green -

No access to the specified CFL but I took these under the bathroom light. Hopefully it helps.

Ok that looks like phosphorus deficiency but I need more information because it can be caused by different things. Is this a soil/coco/hydro grow and what nutrients are you using? How is your water?
 
DWC. GH flora series, I was at 3/4 strength but I am backing away from that due to leaf clawing. My pH set point is 5.8. It drifts up to low to mid 6 and I pH it back down the next day. This is a GG autoflower, 37 days from seed. No budding yet, on veg nute schedule. Here is a recent pic of the tent (sorry about the LED’s). I really appreciate the help.
