Alright, well here's what we got here, I usually start all my seedlings in this small grow box them move them to the grow room once a strong veg has occured, My problem is i havent been getting a strong veg for the past few months, I keep running into these same problems wich are leading me to belive its a PH problem and perhaps i should purchase a better PH tester. This problem is occuring on all the plants i've grown since last year, only common factor between them all is possibly my water and i cant figuer it out, As soon as ANY of these spots form the leaf is already in the process of dying, within 2-4 days of seeing the first spots on the leaf or the discoloration leading to spots, the leaf will dye off usually with the adjacent fan leaf on the other side of the node..

Several things that caught my eye:

5. Peat moss is very acidic and needs to be buffered, usually with some form of lime, for best results in growing Cannabis.
6. Watering every day is too much. Give the soil a chance to dry out between waterings.
10. If your light really is a 500W HPS, 2" is too close to the light for your plants.

I'm thinking that the main cause of your problem is watering too often followed by an improper soil pH.

Yo tons-Where did you find a 500HPS?Never heard of one before.Maybe you have 2-250Hps.Anyway like buzzmobile said-any HPS needs to be farther from plants.Look for a (blonding) of leaves.A curl up on the edges is also something to look for.Yo and peat moss for soil is problematic.Very acidic and can throw your PH way down.
