Not even a remote clue without a picture of said "spot." Also, don't waste your time and money buying spring water for your plant. Use tap water. Contrary to popular belief, there are no ill or harmful affects to your plant from using tap water. The treatment plants now use "chloramine" instead of "chlorine" and there isn't enough chloramine in tap water to damage your plants. The only thing you need to do is adjust the pH to the proper range before you give it (6.3 to 6.7). You give no information about your grow so you're leaving us flying blind here. Fill us in with more detail about HOW you're growing this plant....watering habits, do you manage the pH of all liquids going into your plants, have you given nutes (what, how much, etc). If you expect us to help you, then you have to do your part in helping us figure it out. It's not like we're telepathic. TWW
lol my bad...at first i srayed it everytime the top soil was dry but then i read i have to let it dry at least a knuckle deep so now i just started to water it every other day with aquafina bottled water no ph adjustment, no nutes. i have it under 4 cfls 100w 1600 lumens. its 2 weeks old. ill give faucet water a try
I had a lot of people telling me ocean forest can burn babies it's a little hot. Started in light warrior on my second grow and they looked gorgeous in it. if it's not spreading farther you probably have already fixed the problem but if it's still spreading i'd start ph'n that water. Just my guesses .
What closet grower said and make sure you are not watering to much. I only water my plants 2X a week Little plants like that only needs a little water
Keep in mind just because gnats are gone doesn't mean the damage is fixed. There may be some residual issues for a bit afterwards. Be kind. Perfect your craft. Give more than you take. We are family.
okay so my plant is doing a bit worse the spots have spread to the other leaves. my ph kit wont be here until friday. so should i go buy some RO water and if so where can i find some ???
That's right. Kind of disturbing...but correct. Be kind. Perfect your craft. Give more than you take. We are family.
If you're on well water then just use that. If you're on city water? Then find a friend in the country and fill up some jugs! Like you I wouldn't know where to find RO water without some research. Watering with a pH of 4 is likely causing at least some of the problem. Be kind. Perfect your craft. Give more than you take. We are family.
