Temps usually between 65 at dark cycle to around 77 during light cycle. Soil is 3 parts happy frog 1 part ewc, and 1 part perlite. Light is maxisun 150 watt draw. Light cycle is 20/4. this is my first forum post so I hope I got it all. A week ago my lower leaves started getting brownish golden spots towards middle of bottom leaves. In the past two days it turned to a big patch. This my 2nd cannabis grow. First time growing anything organically...should I worry? The leaves feel slightly crispy.

How are you watering? Your soil looks pretty dry. Tagging in @Mañ'O'Green for watering guide cause I keep forgetting to save a copy lol.
about two clear water bottles worth every 2-3 days
oh yeah she’s 16 days old
Imo, it looks like a pretty classic PH issue, which can be caused by either actual improper ph or watering incorrectly. Do you have plans to further ammend your soil? Did you test the ph of your soil mix?
The water bottle is 16.9 fluid ounces, the ph of my tap water is 7
No I didn’t testthe ph, I have some general hydroponics ph drops I use with my chili garden. i got some happy frog organic fruit and flower fertilizer for this plant
Is that a dry amendment? Or liquid nutes?
This should help!
What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and the roots and microbes will die there. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. There is an art to watering.
And if you're using bottled nutes this too!
