Unhappy looking plant please advise

A couple of things come to mind for me.

1) 52,000 lux is actually very high (even when flowering). Unless everything is running optimally I would strongly consider turning down to around 35 or 38,000 until flip and then only up to about 45 or 48,000 after.

2) You never mentioned humidity in your space. If you're running too dry say less than 30% (if temps are over 75 or 78ish) theres a good chance your plants are shutting down and not transpiring enough.

Any idea what the temperature and humidity are in your space?

I was trying to run humidity at 55% but the water I was using made white shit go everywhere so I stopped until I got a RO filter and it went down to around 45% and stayed there. Temp was between 21C and 23C Consistently but that was with the lights on full.

Interesting that you have said about the lights I am thinking of taking one out if its too much light and putting it in the Veg room. Funny I was thinking of getting UV lights before talking to you guys.. imagine how the poor ladies would have felt!

For most home grows an intake isn't necessary, unless it's a fully sealed room, which most aren't.

I have an intake, but that because my veg tent vents to my flower tent, which for me keeps temps up where I want them.

If you have a fairly big grow like 8x8ft thats full wall to wall then an intake is probably a good idea.
But passive intake is what most use.

I have removed it as my intake is pretty loud so its better its not on and maybe just attached it once in the day for about 10 minutes to get some air in the room and then remove it completely. This will help with the temps though as its very cold outside.

I had a similar issue to this. In my room, I found that I was using Flower Nutes during Veg and it caused the plants to slow down the eating and then they became over watered.

My plan of action was delayed, but it was the following:

Flush
Wait until it dries out
Feed with right nutrients
During this process Cal Mag foliar every 2 - 3 days.
Also I lowered my lights wattage during this time.

It took me about 1.5 - 2 weeks to see progress.

Here's my post about when I reported it: https://www.rollitup.org/t/nitrogen-deficiency-veg-schedule-accidentally-gave-flower-nutes.1095525/#post-17457690

Thank you I will consider a flush. Though I dont have any RO water at the moment and would have to flush with hard tap water which I would be concerned about. Did your plants recover and look better after?

Update.

I have risers so they are off the ground which was a sweet idea so thanks for that.

I had to get rid of the sickest one.. after reading there hermie reports I just didn't think it was worth it to repot and I wanted to see what was happening at the roots. When I took her out I looked at her root zone and it was odd. It was wet in different areas and the bottom had lots of long roots coming out. Pic added for reference

The plants looked happy after a night cycle and were standing to attention in the morning but this could be because they were watered the day before.

The sherburst plants are lighter than the big plants which has me confused if I should water again. I would like to get the choc mints healthier so I can clone them and start a coco grow. I assume people think they are not healthy enough to clone from now right?

Does anybody think repotting them in a soil mixed with coco is a good idea? Not sure how that works If the bulk of the root mass is in just soil and the outside is in soil mixed with coco at 1 part coco to 2 parts soil. I have 30 liter fabric pots they can go in to tomorrow.

Hey people, these marks are on the leaves now is this and indicator of anything? Does it add any clues to what was/is wrong?
