Yellowing and black spots young clones :(

Hi, This is my first Hydro grow, and I started noticing yellowing several days ago and then most recently black spots!? I’m guessing it’s some sort of deficiency.. I read some of the guides here in how to diagnose common issues, but It’s hard for me to tell and so I was hoping to get an opinion from experienced growers.

I took these clones from my first outdoor soil grow which did really well .

strain is strawberry cough, they’re on a 18/6 light cycle and I'm feeding them the Same stuff I give my hydroponic tomatoes npk 20-18-38, current ppm at 800 flood twice a day. PH been kept at steady 5.5. I just flushed them thoroughly several days ago and going thinking perhaps nutes were too intense, but getting ready to mix up a new batch and adjust ratios per your guy’s feed back on this.

Old young leaf. Id ignore it unless its travelling to new growth

Hiya Luke, thanks for the reply! actually just checked, and yep, I am seeing what looks like the beginning symptoms on one or two of the newer mid node leafs as well . was gonna post pic, but got spam reject notification error v_v

Need pic of whole plant.

What ph is your water ? Looks a bit like nute lockout to me, hope this helps

Especially with purpleish stems unless that has something to do with the type of strain you have

I meant to upload full shots, but got a little caught up with work.. anyhow yep the stem color was like this on my outdoor grow I believe it’s genetics. I could be wrong though, they seem to be recovering, the older leaves just fell I think Luke was spot on. Fingers crossed
