Just in case anyone in THE FUTURE is having this issue. After fertigating with some cal/mag yesterday it appears the strange chewed up stuff is healing and has not progressed. I do think it was related to nutrients...I hope. If it was, either the more frequent fertigation helped or the addition of cal/mag. I have one plant I’m leaving 100% Mantis and tap water. The others I will treat with cal/mag and compare progression rates and any new symptoms. I will also be fertigating every 2 days attempting to work up to every day by the end of next week. I’ll throw this in the journal.

Sound like a good plan. What kind of calmag are you using?

Leaves don't normally heal. Once they are damaged, that's it. Pix please.

Almost looks like those were sprayed with lights on

why don't you post in the journal you created instead of creating a new post? you'll get more attraction from the members since they've been in there.

Yes some of these guys are die hards and willing to help it may take minute but you will build trust in the answers you get ,

they still have scars...but not open wounds anymore. I’ll get a good closeup tomorrow.

Some lower leaves for sure have had feed water on them after waterings while under lights, but they never ended up with these symptoms...but surely a possability.

yeah I posted there. Didn’t seem like a common enough symptom but the grow thread is full of awesome helpful people. It’s like when the grow is done and harvested...I will be smoking all of those fine people. Their knowledge anyway lol. A first grow would be a terrifying nightmare without them.

Possibly...but then again that’s how they felt about horses before motorized vehicles.

Yeah its supposed to work with tap water, and apparently works perfectly for some but obviously not for me. No need to PH was the biggest selling point for me since PH pens are expensive and need regular maintenance. Not to mention if my hygrometers all give different readings I can imagine a PH pen could tell me 6.2 when it’s actually 5.2 or 7.2 just seems nothing fucking works how it’s supposed to anymore. It’s all mass produced garbage with no quality control. That’s another reason Mantis, created by a guy with credentials in plant science including a PHD in plant virology sounded good. Not to mention, it seems everyone still has problems with the “tried an true” methods. So it seems like a craps shoot either way.

There's no doubt that a good pH pen is needed but also expensive. While you're waiting for the right time to invest in one, consider using pH drops like you find in the fish aquarium section of your local pet store. Those are cheap and are accurate enough to get you in a pretty good ball park. It's better than winging it and hoping for the best. I'm curious what it's pH is out of the tap. If it's a municipal water supply pH is likely 8.5 or higher. It's also got chloramine in it most likely. Add a simple carbon filter system to reduce the chloramine. PH may remain unaffected so check it with the drops until you get the pH pen.

Be more careful as you water. It looks like nutes have hit quite a few leaves. I'd add some KELP and EC as a top dressing on the Op's plants.
