Hello @FabRubbercup I would say that's a scabby spot from getting wet. I personally would not recommend the dunk method unless you know the leaves and creases will dry in a timely matter, otherwise you'll get spots like this, or worse, rot. I do recommend bottom watering though, that's what I do for mine.
Maybe: Farina:Β This is a natural, waxy, white, or powdery coating that protects succulents from sun and water damage.

Appearance:Β Unlike pests or fungi, farina is evenly distributed and can't be wiped off without damaging the leaf.

Removal:Β Do not attempt to remove farina. Once rubbed off, it will not grow back.
@AliciaMelts hmmmm now I’m suspecting that my grow lights are too bright πŸ€”
Could be and if the leaves got wet, maybe this happened to protect itself?
@AliciaMelts I have been trying to use the dunk method on my succulents to see if it makes a difference when watering. I will say I have been seeing a lot more growth.
I have been too scared to try it! I may now, just gotta set up a way to dry. Could the spot be a fungus instead?
Keep us informed if you try anything and fix it
@FabRubbercup I wouldn't say that it's caused from your grow lights only because it doesn't have the sun stress around the edges of the leaves and that would definitely show up first.
@FairyFly awwww dang okay I appreciate your time to help
Anytime @FabRubbercup πŸ‘πŸ˜
