Hey guys and gals. I have an issue with an auto flower of mine. I recently started my second grow, my first autoflower grow, everything has been going well and it’s crazy to see the difference in growth between them and how my photoperiods went.
Problem: I gave my plants their first feeding at two weeks. Since I have seen several spots come up and some blotching. It started a light green and quickly changed into what is there now over a couple hours. I fed them at 1/3 dose and I suspect with my soil it was too much. I noticed the problem 72 hours ago, watered with a good amount of plain PHed water and have done nothing since. The problem hasn’t gotten much worse but I did notice some smaller spots starting to form on the other two fan leaves. I have two plants both autos but different strains and the other is showing similar signs but much less concerning. I will have pictures of both for comparison.
Medium/Grow method: Fox farms ocean forest potting soil. I know I’ll probably catch hell for that from what I’ve read around here.
Feeding and supplements: Fox Farms trio. One dose at 1/3 dose.
Water source: Tap water. It comes out right at 8.4 and I PH down to 6.5 usually with some small variation.
Strain and age: Sweet Seeds - Dark Devil Automatic. Now about three weeks.
Climate: 70-78 depending on time of day. We’re running 24 hours so no night temps. Humidity where these plants are is unregulated but monitored and has been around 40-50. No drastic temperature or humidity changes.
Light used: 1 Phlizon 1200w LED. 24 hour light cycle. I kept my distance a little further to start with these plants being my first autos but were at 26 inches currently.
Additional information: As stated before I have another plant that wasn’t affected nearly as bad, looks wise, and her symptoms haven’t progressed like my Dark Devil did. The plants also have been topped if that is relevant and saw almost no stunt in growth, they also have not slowed or stopped growing at all.
The affected plants. This is the Dark Devil, my reason for being here.
These leaves started to shows signs second to the spots on the fan leaves. Apologies for sideways pictures. My iPad is a pain in the ass.

....I think what you are experiencing may be down to Ph fluctuations?......do you have a Ph meter or the drops?.......or your soil may be a bit "hot" for them?
