Could be a pH problem, the dying of the new leaves probably has to do with calcium and magnesium balance. With improper pH cal mag cant be uptaken and new plant tissue dies first. Are you growing in hydro it looks like? Check the pH of your water intake, it should be more acidic for hydro 5.5-6.5. You will probably have to adjust the pH of your water throughout the grow, with hydro the pH is prone to fluctuation may more than soil.

Mix fresh urine 5%(No morning-urine, which contains unhealthy substances!), mixed with wood-ash 1 tablespoon/litre, and coffegrounds 2 teaspoons/litre in water!
Sounds gross, but is the best remedy for this problem.
(Remember, bat-guano, manure, worm-castings? All are well known nutritional supplements.)

You want to keep your ph in the 5.5-6.5 zone. People say that the sweet spot is 5.8. Also your Ppm probably need to go down as well. If I go farther than 650 my plant starts having issues in veg. Did you do a complete res change when you changed nutrient lines? And do you know if those two bottles work together?

I second this, miracle grow is bad news. I grow organically, so I make sure my soil life is alive with microbes. I used amended super soil from a modified version of subcool’s recipe, you might want to think about using earthworm castings for some extra nitrogen. Basically impossible to burn your plants, you can just top dress it lightly into the top layer of the pot and water it in, or you can brew a nutrient tea and amend with that organically. If you want to stick with nutrients, think about using a basic three part nutrient line to start out with. I used pH perfect Advance Nutrients 3 part Grow Micro and Bloom when I first started out, its basically impossible to mess up and It really does help correct pH somehow.

He’s growing in hydro man. DO NOT go with organic in DWC. Bad news bears. I would recommend the flora trio line to really get yourself started in the hobby. There is way more to growing in hydro then mixing in some nutes and putting an airstones in the water.

Whoops I didn’t see he was growing hydroponically. I’m way wrong there. Hydro is a set of worms all it’s own I don’t play with anymore because I found simplicity in soil, but man hydro has the potential for great yields. Good luck sorry I misinformed you OP.

What to do? I would just copy what everybody else does instead of trying to develop my own way of growing. That plant is sitting in some toxic shit. I give it a 50/50 chance of coming back from the dead.

I think he didn’t realize that miracle grow isn’t for cannabis. Maybe instead of telling him his plants are just going to die, giving him some information to help him through his grow. Even the dude that said to pee in the bucket was trying to help.

Telling him his plants are going to die is like telling him to get them out of that bucket and do something different. It's easy peasy, you just spend a few hours reading the grow journals at rollitup and you will notice most of the growers are doing a lot of the same thing, using the same medium/nutes/temps/humidity/lights etc. Just become a follower and follow the crowd.
Condensed Hot Tip: Buy a 600 watt HPS, some GH Micro and Bloom, a little PH down and some PH drops and read up on Lucas formula and use the 5/10 formula for a while.
