Hello guys could this possibly be a calcium deficiency?
She’s only 12 days old
She’s in biobiz light mix
I recently added some slow release pellets containing macro nutrients(they barely starter breaking down now)
It’s an auto
@Budbrother
They look too dark to be water spots

This is her 3 days ago no spots

Too soon to show a calcium deficiency Growmie. Looks like the leaf sat on the damp medium and had some water spilled on it from top feeding

The most it ever got was a couple of drops on the leaf edge but when I still used the dome
I watered 2 shots of water yesterday on the pellets to have them break down faster but I’m sure nothing got on the leaves

I forgot to mention that both lower leaves have these spots
I will keep an eye on them to see if It spreads
Right now its growing fast without problems

When using a dome, the humidity is pretty much 100%. After removing, the humidity goes down a good bit which will cause some of the leaves the held a little more moisture on them to become crispy after evaporating.

Ohh thanks makes sense I’m trying to keep humidity between 70/80% so maybe that’s the reason it took more time for the excess humidity to evaporate
I removed the dome completely when I transplanted them since they were too big it was like 3/4 days ago
Just looks like the leaves are too close to the soil, you buried her far too deep imo nothing wrong with leaving some stem but congrats it looks healthy and happy

Great approach. What I’d would recommended. As @OGIncognito said, too early for Ca def. Nothing appears serious.
I agree with @Borderryan22 comment as the cause.

Thanks i thought it was enough as long as the leaves weren’t touching the soil i guess I know something new for next grow

No big deal how deep you buried it. Pluck the leaves, so it’s like those were never there. What problem?

As a note my plants grow at most humidities, the idea being that the stomata will adjust that variable rather than me having to fuss something I don’t need to.
You won’t find many studies where humidity causes stress, light fertilizer, watering all produce copious studies but humidity is not make it break, could be 30 could be 70 the influence is minimal, stomata adjust and the growth rates the same for both. If anything I find lower humidity gives better growth rates once everything else is dialled in, that way the plant can lose the heat from the light quicker and tbh the extraction and fans don’t allow humidity to build up a leaf surface boundary where higher humidity can stall growth.

My temps are between 24/25C during daytime and 22,5/23C during nighttime,
I have younger seedling that’s why I’m keeping it high
Really can I just do that? Won’t it affect her?

She’s small and has lots of growing ahead of her. She’ll grow many more leaves, so it’s not a problem.
If you have a lanky plant, you would burry it deep and pull some leaves. Where the meristem was buried, now it will grow roots below ground.

I guess I’ll do it thanks
