Spotting on one side only. Pics ITT

I have 5 LEDs for good measure, but my main light is a 150 watt HPS FloraLux. Just one plant, one light over it, with LEDs surrounding it.

I noticed some major spotting on one side of the plant. Seems pretty recent.
I do nothing I have been over watering it. I water it when the soil is dry to the touch. I have been using some miracle grow nutrient sticks that you stick the soil. Any thoughts? This is not a high tech grow, so don't have alot of measuring equipment. I could not tell you what the humidity is, so not sure is that is the issue.

Other than the spotting, she seems healthy. I just don't want this to be the beginning of a bad outcome.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks...

Damn. It is getting worse. The plant is drinking OK. Soil gets dry, I water it. Nutes? Some of the leaves are actually brittle dry and crack up to the touch. Is this going to kill the nice flowering I have going on?

OK, one more bit of info. It is cold where I am, which sucks moisture out of the air. The heaters do not help either. They really rip moisture from the air. Could it be low humidity? Do I need to get a little humidifier?
OK, thanks. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!!

yeah, also you dont need a humidifier, i actually had to buy a dehumidifier, but try just strait water for a bit and if it gets worse, then use 1/4 the strength nutes, you can be burning them out. also just cut off that leaf or rip it off whatever works

yeh man , seems a bit of a overburn - im still tryin to get all my ratios in order and find what nutes ( i can get here at that) work best.
cold where im at too , i just mist sum boiled water in if i think things are too dry , but most of all im happy to see another l.e.d grower , or at least give a go-er , how do u find the few wee l.e.ds? iv got 1 little 1 set aside for seedlings and clones etc . .
have one of the larger lights for my main and it seems to be doing pretty well.
besta luck with getting her back to health man

I like the LEDs as an added light source. I had to go small on the main light, due to space and heat issue. SO, i bought 5 of the small LEDs to surround the plant from the sides. I figure it must help to add some blue and red.

That does look like either a nute burn, or a deficiency - not nitrogen, though, which is the first thing I'd suspect with MiracleGro products. Check out the nutrient tables at the "plant problems" forum to see if anything matches.
