It looks like you went to a Promix soil with more perlite in it. I don't know your feeds I use General hydroponics 3 part. I was getting blotches and spots every so often but I ignore it thinking no big deal a few bad leaves. For what ever reason I started using Floralicious plus, another GH products but I've seen an overall improvement everywhere....I'm not a salesman...i'm just impressed with the difference and improved health.... Something within their ingredient's Fulvic & Humic acid's help break down the nutes into the ions the roots absorb or some sht like that...old stoner..not scientist llollThis happened a few weeks ago. The brown splotches which looked to me like calcium deficiency. I didn’t think it was a deficiency because she was 2 weeks old and in really nice soil. Then I noticed the cap of my pH pen was drying out. So she might have had one drink of water with a dodgy pH reading? which would explain the leaf issue wouldn’t it? I sorted the pen, started using drops to check pH for a while and watered her with pH on the higher end of the scale, 6.7-8. She still seemed healthy but the brown splotches got worse before better and kept deteriorating for a week or so after I thought I had addressed the problem. For a while there she really looked rough and I felt like a terrible canna mama. Turning the lights down seemed to help. But then she grew and recovered and when I up potted her she really took off.
She’s a 6 week +1 day GDP photo girlie sitting in a 3 gallon pot in canna terra professional soil. I’m feeding her Aptus Base plus Aptus CalMag. She’s extremely thirsty. Temp is around 24 Celsius RH sitting around 50. I did have her on a 6/18 schedule under Spider Farmer sf1000, 20 inches distance. Then I noticed she seemed to like a slightly shorter sleep, 4-5 hours.
I used two tents to build one to fit my exact space so it looks a bit wonky.
I’m pretty happy with how she’s coming on now after my earlier F up with the pH or whatever it was. Does she look about right for the strain? This is only my third plant. What else could the problem have been?

"Better results are obtained by feeding complete nutes with every watering in peat. Even in the beginning."......???? really?/?? I'll stick with the nute companies recommendations an feed every second time.......I've been in peat mixes for 25+ years and I rarely back to back feed, I'll only do that if I see a need. I start feeding lightly at about 2 -3 weeks once they're out of the solo cup with 3/3/3/1 ml Micro/Grow/Bloom/Floralicious/ 1ml phupPeat isn't soil. It doesn't have nutes besides a little N at the beginning. Better results are obtained by feeding complete nutes with every watering in peat. Even in the beginning.
Thank you. I’m so proud of this one.Either way your plant looks very healthy now
