Leaf Color?

[sontnewb]

Hi I'm on my first grow and I am using T5 HO flo. lights and i am getting leaf discoloration(brown spots) on some of the fan leaves and a couple leaves have different huges of green. I'm new to this and I was wondering what may be causing this,

Looks like a cal/mag deficiency, and it looks like you're spraying the leaves with something

Thanks for the reply, I haven't sprayed the plants with anything, i have just been watering with water that has a Ph of 6 to 6.5. I will check the cal/mag with a text kit later today after work.

Alright, it's getting old enough to need nutrients now. Make sure she gets plenty of nitrogen and cal/mag, which line of nutes are you using?

I have bought Growtek Cal-max to try on one plant to see if this helps it out.

It'll help, but without nutrients the plant will start getting various other deficiencies

will be starting to fetilize shortly, just getting the roots a little time to take shape. is there any specific brand that is "the best" for soil growing?

Not that I know of. I've never grown in soil so I'm not sure what's what.
