How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* n/a
How often are you feeding? Every 3rd watering they get the tea (so twice so far)
If flowering, when did you switch over to using Bloom nutrients? N/A

Since you are using bottled RO you may need to supplement the water with Cal-mag. I use about 4 ml per gallon in pure water to help feed the plants. I try to keep my the cal-mag less than 120 ppm in soil grows. Your plants look a little hungry to me, and ready for a real nutrient feeding. 😎

can i ask why bottled water would need cal-mag compared to another type of water? I know the two dosnt have any of either
 
Yellowing is not too bad here. Nothing really. Nutes are an artform you seem to have mastered.

It looks like lockout through overwatering, and lockout of magnesium and phosphorus or calcium. Or a supersoil mix that has not composted long enough.

Magnesium deficiency/lockout.

What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?) the organics for beginners mix #2



I think that is this mix:

An alternative to teas is to ferment sprouted seeds anaerobically with sugar and water, for at least a week.

----------------------

Second Opinion - on the lockout can easily come from something damaging the roots, like anaerobic decomposition from incompletely composted supersoil.

Maybe it was the compost tea that was anaerobic or too strong - maybe too much molasses?

This is why I try to mess with the plants as little as possible, and only add a cap of 'kombucha' to half a gallon of water. (Tapwater that has been allowed to dechlorinate and adjust it's temperature and what not for at least 24 hours, standing next to the plants that are going to be watered.

I could be wrong but what it looks like to me is when you did the last watering with the tea some droplets splashed on the leaves and then sat there until it evaporated causing that spotted look. That sort of effect can also happen with just plain water if the lights are too close and/or too strong, the droplets of water act like little magnifying glasses intensifying the light in those areas causing a mild bleaching effect. It doesn't appear to be a major issue and as long as new growth is robust and that spotting just stays limited to a few leaves I don't think it will be much to worry about. If however it continues to spread throughout all of the leaves then obviously it's a more serious issue that will need to be corrected.
