First layers bad, with gaps.

Hi all.
I have hit and miss success. The first couple layers are mostly poor see pic, with gaps. I've leveled bed again before this print, checked nozzle seams to flow well. It seams to be in the same place each time any suggestions? I use hairspray on bed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The first layers should be printed much slower with increased filament delivery.
These settings are made in the slicer.

I've tried re calibrating the extrusion as it was about 15 mm in 100 short but I keep getting different values, I've tried in the geeetech slicer and slic3r.

1, What's your driver voltage of extruder?
2, Maybe the nozzle clogged a little, try to clean it.
3, Increase temperature a little to have a test.
