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.

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.

I have a few 3 gal pots can't believe how much less maintenance it's way easier I just want a lot of bud and already have a hydro background

You don't flush ever? Not even at the end?

I've given it more chaching then I felt was safe the more I give it the worse it gets checked the ph and it's 5-6

Any quick suggestions or is the damage done?

You should try a soil grow first, your hydroponics background clearly isn't helping you.

I dont... Your plant doesnt even look close to harvest time, and is in terrible shape.
Hopefully that green one next to it does better for you. I would try to sort out where that tip burn was coming from on that one before it progresses

You’ll need to figure out why it’s deficient before you can try fixing anything. EC or pH or whatever.

Yeah I come here for help when I can't find anything on Google but I think I'd rather just figure things out then deal with you guys and your dickhead responses, thank you to those who had helpful input. It was worth a shot,

I was honest and helpful. There is nothing you can do with the sick one in its current condition.
The other still has a chance

You most likely locked it out. I don't know if you can flush DWC, but you can dramatically reduce the EC and hope that it can limp to the finish line. But it looks like it has a long way to go, so yeah. At least it doesn't look like a very big plant.

@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 and I was in Rockwool, 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.
