First time grow ! Rust colored spots !

[Hayin_]

Hi everyone I’m new to this app and also to growing. This is my first time and my plant has been doing fine with a few fixes small problems. But today when I woke up all of a sudden I see spots that look like the color of rust. Out of no where. I’m not sure what it could be and can’t find any real answers, help, or solutions on google . If anyone sees this and can’t help I greatly appreciate it and thanks in advance

Not really sure, maybe fungal infection or a deficiency in magnesium or calcium.

Hi thanks for the reply that’s all I’ve been seeing and I know I can rule out the calcium and magnesium deficiency because i have added that . So I’m guessing a type of fungal infection not sure how it happened since this a hydroponic grow and now I don’t know what to do to stop it or get rid of it without harming the plant even more because today she looks worse

Maybe your lights are too close and it is starting to burn

Hi thanks for the reply, the lights are actually at a pretty good distance away from the plant

No clear slime or anything. Still white. I'm guessing here. Ph effecting uptake of calcium. If it's leaf septoria it will die. If you corrected your cal mag ratio it will grow and be OK.

How far and what light ? Pretty bright for seedling

The ph is 6.3 right now but my ppm is pretty high as well and I don’t know how to lower that, but I don’t know if it’s leaf septoria or something else. Because she was perfectly fine. This didn’t happen until two days after I added the cal mag.

Might be too much nutrients. Dial it down with some water.

So I’m growing in a aero garden and the light is built in but I’ll take a picture when im back home to show the distance im realllly not god with measurements. But it’s a Led light and I normally dim the light to 75 %

Yes I tried last night and it lowered but I have no more room in the container and I don’t know if I should dump out some of the water or wait because feeding day is Wednesday

When my water gets out of wack I just replace it early. With a properly mixed batch.

Okay I’m going to dump her and see if that works maybe omit the cal mag and see what that does because the issue didn’t occur until I added that

Just brought some of this as well because I’ve seen online where this could be rust fungus

Should I go ahead and remove the infected leaves this is an auto flower and I feel as though it’s best to remove the leaves before they affect the other leaves on my plants

 

[Ponky]

No. Let it grow.

No. Let it grow.

Okay thank you sorry for so many questions just scared that I will ruin the plant if I do something wrong or just let it be and it infects the whole plant.. just worried sorry ! Thanks so much for the help
