Anyways for others who have this problem, Ive been getting feedback that its either heat stress, or from a ph imbalance.

Some were suggesting that it was off-gassing from my tent, but that isnt the case. I will post something as soon as I find out what the exact problem is. seems like no one is sure of whats wrong with it.

Ill stop talking to myself now.

is that a homemade or cap ebb and grow? it appears you have nute lockouts, the first one is N, but also maybe IRON, also that top looks like severe light bleaching, how close are the lights? i have heard from a member of another forum that STG inserts for the buckets wrecked his crop in a similar system, all was well till he hit 2 weeks flowering, im sure you have a small pool of water under each bucket inside, try raising the buckets 1 inch, even STG makers on youtube say to raise the insert so it dont rest in the water, makers of the cap system say if plants arent looking healthy to do this aswell, if its a healthy root system filling the bottom bucket it should take it up no problems, but you could have a major build up down there, flush with plant water, this system flushing isnt easy, since the flood cycles are 3-4 hrs you should give plain water first day and change water out again, total 3 day flush, 1 day flush does nothings since tons of salts get built up in the connecting lines, after wseeing what this dude went thru with these inserts i would never try them, stay with hydroton, its a pain but best media for this
