Spotted these two spots yesterday and they have progressed overnight. Read all night yesterday on what it could be and I’m totally confused now, but I have found a few pictures that looked like it was pointing to a cal-mag deficiency. I have been watering every third day, that seems to be when the pot is light and the top inch of soil is dry, each pot gets 1 gallon which gives me decent run-off to test PPM and PH from. I just watched a friend finish his first grow and he chased deficiencies from 4 weeks in to the end, so I’m paranoid I’m at that critical point and don’t want the issues he had. Hopefully the pictures I’m about to attempt to post work… ![gsc1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/3/6/336ea487ada97d2ac14f5283fd8b2b072c265bc1.jpeg) ![gsc2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/1/5/4156be41b80e21764af034ff078c062348ffd073.jpeg) ![gsc3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/3/0/f30a18ea98b7d1d4dfd0e78bf95e912ce0d50f26.jpeg) ![gsc4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/1/9/1193c4e2551acc385d517cac3316b2ea891697a4.jpeg) ---

Welcome Plant looks fine to me, maybe could have been water drops? ---

Thank you, I was unaware water droplets could cause something like this, then again I’m unaware of a lot when it comes to this, I’ll have to research that. ---

Water drops can act like a magnifier lens with the light causing burn marks. ---

The spots have not progressed and everything seems ok so far, I guess I have to be more careful when watering, thanks to all for bringing this to my attention. ---

Now on day 34, I think this is “Pre Flower” they are getting very bushy, I’ve read about defoliation and think I could probably benefit from it, however I am wondering if I am too late because of the stage they’re in now, don’t want to cause any stress and hinder growth, thought’s? ![gsc1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/6/0/f60c09cb5205491af88995ccf6c1107e02bc08ca.jpeg) ![gsc4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/9/4/6941bf7f61b25d5438c7a402094277089ee31368.jpeg) ![gsc3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/d/5/2d54a220ac0429fd982a2e23628814081aed0189.jpeg)
