Really just crept up today when the lights came on... lower leaves and such seem to be doing just fine...All organic grow.

Going to give them a good water and hope the next few days they somewhat get back to normal but not holding out much hope. Just trying to see if anyone has a hunch what may be going on.

5 weeks flower tomorrow

That looks like the ph in your soil is out. Water with ph water and then hit it with nuts again, keep checking your soil to see if it’s back to the right ph. Around 6.5 if your just in soil. But cut your nutes back a bit. That’s all I can think of atm.

Used to ph to 6.5 but dont mess with it anymore as the soil buffers it
Fox farm ocean forest
Earth dust, cal mag, molasses, kelp, big bloom, neptune harvest fish & seaweed fertilizer, jobes organic spikes but moving toward ONLY Earth dust due to it being a mostly 1 stop shop when it comes to feeding and all TLO growing.
75 - 80 deg lights on 55-60%
65 - 70 deg lights off 50%
Light - LED Electric sky 300 v 2 at 100% intensity about 22" away

Thinking ph as well .... FFOF chimes in at 6.3 . I use it exclusively for my grows and base mixes. I ph at 6.5 - 6.7 to allow a range
of “ drift “ in case water is slightly out of whack. Sure FFOF has good buffering but you will run into less issues if you at least try to match it. You showing necrotic spots that point to ph ( maybe even mag ) .

FFOF needs nothing as far as Nutes .... it is too easy to over fertilize it with too many Nutes that come in at their OWN NPK RATIOS.
Excess in some elements knocks out others. FFOF can run alone for weeks on ph water only. And simply adding a handful of fresh FFOF at certain intervals of grow - recharges it. Plants sometimes have a hard time trying to acclimate to FFOF , but adding even more
just complicates it.

Everything else .... lights , temps are fine . It’s the witches brew you are throwing at it.
