so i think....
this is lock out of P or K from over fertilization of some type.

this a plant in vegg that has been
fed a diluted to 200ppm
this recipe of nutrients:
1 gal
5ml Pro-tekt
8ml GH micro
16ml GH bloom
2.5ml of GH koolbloom
2.5ml technaflora magical


just to clear this up i am running just plain water with a 6.0Ph

is that the right thing to be doing?

if your using nutes in the water then the nutes may be changing the ph and you would have to readjust the ph

this is just my opinion.... this really looks more like a pH issue like this:

Just my 2 cents....

Good luck

to me it is hungry. if you sure its then just water . usually locked out plants wont look like that . usually have spots that are brown and look like spyder mite bites sort of,

Tips aren't being browned and curled so it's not a nute burn issue, looks like a PH issue.

Doesn't look like an over-fertilization issue to me and with 200ppm it shouldn't be. I would rule out the spider mites first. Scope the back or your leaves with a magnifying glass or 60X scope if you have either.

Cal/mag could be an issue, are you using purified water?
