Farthest I've ever gotten on flowering but is this normal? I'm getting to the flushing stage but the spots started last week and it's not mold.

@lightbox420 At least if you can figure out the problem, you can stop it continuing to develop too much. My advice below is probably irrelevant to your hydroponic set up as I use soil these days.

I wouldn't expect to get the leaves back to healthy, but if you can halt the problem's spread you would be able to get them in. I haven't done hydroponics for 25 years, but it looks like a nutrient issue of some kind, unless there's some sort of blockage stopping the medium becoming properly wet throughout. Very unlikely in hydroponics I know, but when my soil dries out too much, my plants don't generally wilt, but they get leaf damage that looks similar to that.

Finally, is the light high enough up? I've had light burn that looked a bit like some of that damage. Do you use the free photone app to check your PPFD / DLI? Daily Light Integral is my favourite way of judging light. Just a thought.

It's not the light because the bigger plant beside it would look the same. The burnt tips is a red flag.

It looks like it still has at least about a month left to me. It probably got stunned.

So if you were me and you had 5 other plants completely fine and your drying tent showed up today would you get it the hell out of there? Lol

Either way it's not a huge loss. It's not going to spread if that's what you're worried about.

I've been addressing my ph for about 2 months now so I know it's not that, I think this was just a bad seed, I struggled with it from the time it sprouted, everything I've learned about this was thru the veg stage so I'm sure I shocked it a few times, i think I need to put the other nutes back in like nitrogen and others, so many people on here are anti nute I'm just trying to figure this out as I go lol.

Thanks, yeah they don't give a lot of room for info, but it's a deep water culture system, when I added chaching with high magnesium it seemed to get better, but I think I fried it with nutes before that, it's not mold it won't rub off on to anything I tried, it's literally 10 days away from harvest, I believe these leaves will be trimmed off anyway but wanted to see where this situation stands and if it can be controlled.
