Help!?! White Widow Leaves turning yellow during flower after potential shock?

Hello, I am new here, and am currently in the flowering stage of my second plant ever. I am still very much new and learning the ropes.
Details:
DWC setup, 5 gal bucket, 6 inch net pot. got the air stone set up. Using FoxFarm trio nutrients. Temps are between 78-85 degrees, have done everything possible to lower temp. I am growing in standard bedroom closet, with a 4 in" inline fan. have a regular fan circulating air in there as well. i am currently using two 300W LED's. Both from Viparspectra. One model is the V300, the other being a R300.

I grow away from home indoors though, so i could only personally check up on plants every 3 to 4 days. I do have someone keeping Ph levels between 5.65 and 5.8 daily. I started two plants together for my first grow. , fast forward 3 months and the roots were a big ball of hell. I ended up having to harvest one of the plants, leaving behind roots that slowly died off. I was able to remove roots from the root mass that were dead and belonging to the other plant. That was about a week ago, and the plant itself has gained back moisture and doesn't look so crispy. My problem now is the yellowing of the leaves. As you can see, the tops leaves are being affected as well as the bottom. I am hoping someone has an idea of what is going on. I understand the heat is no good for my buds, but cannot drop temperature any more at this time.

If anymore info is needed, i am more than willing to provide. I've attached some pictures. Thank you!

Severe root problems. Time to cut your losses. And so why in the world does a frequent traveler decide to go with any type of grow other than dirt? Just kind of curious.
 
yeah the roots look terrible. Could you explain exactly what the problems are? It was originally at my house but had to take elsewhere due to certain problems.

Also, could the bud that is there be used for anything at this point?

SWFarmer,
DWC tends to be problematic if temps are too high. And on top of that, you had left behind roots. Root rot almost guaranteed just from hearing those two facts.

But when I look at the pictures...the leaves that aren't yellow are way too dark . So some over feeding has occurred too.

If you want to try and salvage...you could try a few things but I wouldn't expect miracles. Aggressively treat the root rot and reduce the ppms and cross your fingers. I would also include some biological fungicide like that Southern Ag stuff people are always talking about...routinely. Maybe weekly. And I am just sort of guessing.
Good luck,
JD
 
I did have a feeling that i had overfed JohnDee.

How would you suggest i treat the root rot? i will go to my local hydroponic store and look for the fungicide you have mentioned.

Also, what are the dangers to keeping buds that have root rot? Thanks a lot for your time and feedback, i greatly appreciate you.

I'm a retired RN and former USMC. Operate on one main principle with hydroponics and that is "Cleanliness is next to Godliness".

Old adage - an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. Hope these help. Let's us know and good luck.
 
Hello everybody, i'd like to thank you all for your responses. I will be further studying the material sent to me.

Unofrtunately, my poor girl was not gonna make it. I chopped her down today, no mold on buds so hung to dry. I'm dealing with a very immature plant here. 42 days into flower.

HotRodHarley, I'd like to thank you for your service, both on and off the battlefield. we all appreciate the bravery people like you have. Thank you. Also, i try to maintain cleanliness. I will be moving into my grow house soon, so i expect my next batch to be a hell of a lot better. Looking forward to it.
