I have lost almost every fan leaf on the white widow.. they turned yellow with browns spots. then leaves got crunchy and fell off. The flowers are so tight could it have sucked the moisture out of the leaves?

100% normal. the leaves are dying from the plants sucking the energy out of the leaves and putting it into the buds. along with a normal end of flowering nitrogen def., the plant looks perfectly fine to me, i dont harvest till all the fan leaves have died or are very close to all dead. the plant stores energy in them for a reason.....to use it,lol. why waste your gals efforts to store energy for when it really needs it at/towards the end of flowering?

ok guess that explains it... with the 400 HPS you should be within 12"-18" of your canopy top for best use of lumens available.
