Setup:
-------------
-room: approx. 3 ft. x 6 ft.
-light: New Wave T5 8-lamp fixture (40,000 lumens)
-Box fan for air circulation
-Ventilated by leaving door open
-5 gal. containers
-Plants:
-------------
-random bagseed
-lights are on 18/6 and the temp is approx 73f-79f (usually about 75) when theyre on
-plants are between 6 in. and 9 in. tall approx
-all plants approx 23 days old
-Planted in a mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil and perlite
-watered with only distilled water
-havent tested PH, but just bought the equipment today and will do that asap
-no nutes or anything added yet, but will be using Fox Farms once said issues are resolved
-no signs of bugs or anything as far as I can see
Any one have any guesses whats going on with my plants? I tried looking at different guides online but didn't want to misdiagnose and screw them up more (note: I did look at one again and I think those "rust spots" im getting might be a calcium deficiency.. anyone agree?). I planted 14 plants and some of them look ok but some of them have problems (see the pix below). Thanks a ton for any and all help
I should also add that these problems really started showing up in the past week (not 100%, but they got a lot worse)
(pic1- splotchey leaf, pic2- "rust spots", pic3- curled edges, pic4- "rust spots" on leaf the where end dried up and crumbled, pic5- another splotchey leaf, pic6- wide shot of plant in pic1, pic7- too droopy?)
