I am doing a trans siberian grow, journal in my sig. I have one plant that is doing Ok apart from it has always been a bit weaker than the others. It has had constant minor leaf curl and i notice some brown marks on a leaf or 2. this may be burn from water splashes and the lights but the marks seem somewhat raised it looks sort of like something i would see on a tree that has some kind of parasite or viral infection. Here are some images close up and overview. Am I just being paranoid ?

The plant is 10 days from soil break and is in biomass light with no nutes, though i have given them some iconic early formula ( for seedlings today, but the issue has been there for a few days. Any ideas ?

I think 2 liters of water a week for a 10 day old is waay too much.Back off a little on your water
 
I am also suspecting it might be a heat issue as I am also having classic edge leaf curl on the plants that are at the CFL ballast end ( which, as i am sure you all know, gets hotter than the bulb). This leaf issue may or may not be related but as i have to fight the leaf curl i am hoping this may also help this problem. I have raised my CFL lights hoping things will improve

Crikey !! I never thought home growing would be so intense !! And I am only 12 days in !!!
 
What really sucks is ur entire crop molds ...like 5ozs ...
Wish u the best ...bro could be a few things ....i hope they get corrected ...
If she gets 2 bad there's always an axe ....and focus on the better healthy ladies ...instead of constant scratching ur head !!!!
 
We are a team..everybody makes it through this alive... NO CASUALTIES !!

However I suspect these girls may be Dama Legionaria and in the words of El Tercio "¡Viva la muerte"!, I suppose that would make me a Novio de la Muerte
