First grow in about 20 years, new to led.. I'm in week 5 of flower to the day. About a week ago I moved the plant I'm having trouble with away from the light as I was noticing some foxtails. Since then leaves have started to brown, yellow and eventually die. The main stems are also quite purple/pink. My other 2 are doing good, all same strain (white 99) and nutrients. Temps are around 83-84 daytime and 71 at night. Humidity 40-50. Growing in ffof, 5 gallon fabric pots. The stressed plant is twice the size of the other two and gets the most breeze from the fan. It's under a 200 true watts quantum, the other two are under a 400w. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Well, with ffof you have to guess if the plants are over-fertilized or under-fertilized. You have some bad leaves but I can't really tell if it's over or under. I would say carry on as you are and hope for the best.
Thanks for the reply, man. I've never used this ffof before and I think you're right with the soil being too hot. I've been dosing lightly with the trio they sell. I think I'll just be going with straight h2o for a while. Things seem to be going better the past couple days after a heavy watering.

Are you over watering? There could be root problems if everything else is the same....
The affected leaves were dying off pretty quick. Does seem to be eating up the leaves. I've been dosing the other two the same, but this plant for some reason grew twice as tall. Maybe up the nutes?
This plant is twice as big as the other two and I've had them all on the same regimen. If anything I would say possibly not enough as she seems to be drinking more than the other two. Could the soil becoming too dry cause this issue?

No two plants require the same treatment
They are unique
Fox farms trio, ph is good between 6.3 and 6.7, haven't checked ppm I feed about 1/3 of recommendation on schedule in distilled water. My other two are thriving, this one may be hungry as it's much taller. When it stretched it grew very close to the light maybe 4in or so. The brown spots and leaf death started about a week after lowering it. I also think I may have gone too hard with defoliation on this plant.
