Sorry mate but no one can help you just from a couple of pics, we can see there is a definite problem but need more info;
Lights, hydro, ph, temps etc.

Ok, it looks like you're running with hydro there.

Your plants can be rescued but we need details to help you.

What is your ph at?

What nutrients and at what strength are you using them? (N-P-K)

We need more info!

looks like your ph is way of to me. do you have a meter. looks like ph is to low which will cause nutrient lockout

From my own personal experience, this looks like ph is too high which is usually the case when there is a ph issue.

Get a ph kit!

sorry for the lack of info, and thanks for all your replies . hope this helps.im working with a deep water system 400w mh .they have been flowering for about 8 weeks. im using advance nuiterants bloom a&b , big bloom , b52 , carbo load & final faze. i have since stoped with all nuits and started flushing with ro water. my ph when i chang my tub i set @5.6 with ro water , when i chang out the old fluid the ph is 6.7. i had to remove one other flowering plant ( different strain & older by 2 weeks )that had yellowed all its leaves and the stems turned yellow and soft. she was not growing so i pulled her and tried to save what i could . here is a pix of the one i pulled, sad. im worried that the same thing is happed to this one. she is so close to finish, but she also looks like she is dying. i dont want those nice buds to degragate. im wondering if i should pull her to . i wont be back to check on them again until Friday. im grateful for any help.

wonder if any hydro guys will chime in but I think your ph sould be a bit lower but not enough to cause the purple/brown on the fans.. any way I'm a soil guy but what do your roots look like and what ppm are your nutes? looks burnt from the last pic but I'm no expert on the hydro thing

the temps may be a little on the high side but thats not whats causing your problem. Check your roots and make sure that there is no rot starting. i think you probably locked it up either with the nutes or the resulting high PH. do you have a PPM meter?

My ppm measures with nuits about 1900. full strenght I have been backing off slowly since the 6th week. Today I am using straight RO water with a little carbo load. I thought with this strain they would be finished. Flower time is 6 to 7 weeks. Im on my 8th. So I hope by next weekend they will be finished. Im just worried if that one plant is dying will it hurt the buds that are on it.

what strain is it? unless its some sort of fungus spreading throughout the plant, the nugs will be fine just keep an eye on them. are your trics at least all cloudy?

There's your problem...

You're at 6 weeks and have stopped giving them nutrients. They are cannibalizing their fan leaves for nutrients. This can be avoided by still feeding them into the 7-8th weeks at 1/4 to 1/2 strength. Then start looking at your trichomes (get a hand held microscope), when they start turning amber then use plain water for a week to leech your plants.

This should give you nice, green plants to the end.
