What plant disease is this?

What is your feeding schedule?
Do you feed to run off?
I grow in coco and never have to go over 600 ppm's..........athena recommends high ppm's because they sell you more nutrients that way.
Same. I've got a little head stash plant in the early stages of flower and I burnt the tips a little at 750 ppm. I typically stay 1.2 ec or lower unless a plant is obviously asking for more.

What a mess. Sorry about that. I've never seen white patches on overfertilized plants almost looks like a mold. Maybe ya got a couple of problems going on. At least this setback happened early vs. A mature plant. We all take our losses.
Crack-on !

Looks like maybe a couple things going on.

The leaves are clawing, which often indicates to much nitrogen, and the leaves are also cupping, which can be caused by Heat, and//or to much Light, of which, most likely means it would be nice if there was a good deal more fresh air exchange, than what theyre getting now.

Outside, in nature, the CO2-PPM, is 421ppm. And the SUN, is 2100umol at its brightest. While this is my opinion, the reason plants do just fine outside, with bright sun, and what some may consider low CO2 levels, especially for up to 2100umol, is because of the constant flow of fresh CO2 via fresh air exchange. Though the overall CO2 level some may consider low. Its a never ending supply, of which all of it, will never be used.

So in my simple little brain, it seems logical, if youre in a room, especially a tent,, youre really going to either have to supply CO2, or have a really good fresh air exchange, and if you use really bright light, they wont like it. And for Co2 to really work, the enclosure needs to be 100% Sealed, or its a waste, of CO2/Money.

Not saying this is the case, but leaves are curled down/clawing, and are also cupping.

The also I would guess, they have nutrient lockout.

It also looks like they may lack Calcium, which may, or may not be caused by nutrient lockout.

I try and use the Least amount of fertilizer possible, but more than enough to keep them healthy, and never short changing them. They only need so much, and many breeders will warn you, over feeding, can cause Hermis, in some strains.
The fertilizer company should be excoriated for a 1 size fits all, at such high levels of fertilizer.

Room is ac/c02, c02 around 800
Water is r/o, this is a thailand grow btw
Oh yes I also use cal-mag

70% coco 30 % perlite
i grow in coco coir and i am currently feeding at 1200ppm's i have zero issues.

in coco coir i usually start with ro water than add my 2 part base fertilizer until i reach around 800ppm's

after that i add my additives at the end i feed at around 1200 ppm's.

but you have too remember i am talking about a big mature plant :) your plants look little in the pictures

Run off is 900 ppm, 5.9 ph.

I'm beginning to think it was a over watering issue as this coco substrates comes super dry and water logged after accepting water. It seems only the first batch of clones were affected due to over watering.

The new clones potted 3 days after haven't been affected because we stopped over watering. Only time will tell at this point
