Interesting, I am having similar issues with my grow. It is only 2 plants doing this (same strain) and at first I thought it was wind burn because the lil girl effected the most by this is closest to my oscillating fan. Then I looked into it more and its actually what a phosphorus deficiency looks like. (I know were in veg) but plants need P in veg also! The tricky part in correcting a P deficiency is, once corrected, the effected leaves do not recover, but new growth should look normal.Thanks for heads up, I have never checked EC, I some kind of noob lol, For years always grew with FFOF and their three nutrients line , last year I started using Down to earth products with great results. This grow, every thing up to week four flower was beautiful, my Soil ph meter is reading 6.5 still which is good. I just took some picks of the fall out of what has started the other day. This is only ;happening on one plant as of now, however all 4 have the dark green leaves and the little claw going on,
Im positive I just over feed with top dressing, Just watered for the first time since the first sightings of dark green leaves and clawing. all water to runoff. Going to ride it out.
I came across a site , and I hope its not Root aphids, I have never seen so much as a gnat in my room let alone anything other than a spider here and there, Going to look closely tomorrow.
Lack of P can also cause leaves to turn dark green, purple or a dull blue. Stems an petioles are known to turn red/purple also, and yours seem to be nice and green, so maybe your catching it early. I would advise trying a weak bloom nutrient or just use 1/4 to 1/2 strength of what your already using for bloom. Let me know if this fixes your problem!
