You feeding any calcium? and could be manganese. Get some good micro nutes and assist with some calcium and it should help.

A quick Calcium sulfate (1T/gal) spray could do no harm and might clear things up if it is a calcium deficiency.
See: Tomato End Rot spray
Look at those bleached out spaces proximal to the necrotic tissue.
This is the leaf surface we are attempting to rescue.
Take a few photos of affected veg to help prove results.

If it continues to progress, you will want to know that quickly too.
Good luck.

Yea tinder as we discussed highly alkaline water can reek havoc with your ph levels in the medium which could be limiting what nutes your rootzone is picking up. If I were you I would at least try sourcing some RO water from a machine and over time when you notice a diff in the health and vigor of your gurls you might want to invest in a RO system. With highly alkaline water you need to inject acid to bring the alkalinity done PITA. Try some RO on your next run and see what you think.

Be sure when using RO to supplement calcium and mag as it is stripped from the filtering process.

I been using walmart distilled water on some of the plants that have the same problem as the ones that been getting my sink water

after u said that I been doing a test to see if my water is the problem so far seem sink In distilled water doing the same thing

yes I know distilled water is a lil acidic but could not be as near as bad as my sink water

Seems to me like the people I see succeeding in ProMix are the ones that have A LOT of experience over all and have their grow completely dialed in.
Seems like others have a lot of problems with it. Never tried it so I have no idea. Just a thought

Lol. Well I think you do have control. You got it!
I try to stay away from giving advice but I'm gonna this time. Lol.

I believe 100% in having a good plan and sticking to it. Diverting from the plan ONLY in extreme cases which should rarely to never happen

You said it best. Coco is inert and you have complete control over it

Give them everything they need and know that what you are giving them is their complete diet and stick to it. Everything the same every time. Multiple times a day if possible. But the main thing IMO is same same same.

If you see a small problem or spot or weird leaf. Ride it out. Trust that you k ow you are giving the plant everything it needs at the proper ph and ppm and let it work itself out.

In my opinion the second you start chasing deficiencies you're diggin your grave. I notice a lot of people trying to help and although they all mean well they're pulling you every which way.
Pick someone or 2 you trustand listen to them only them
I take advice from someone I trust and If I need advice I go to the same place for it. Never had a real deficiency problem
Go back to coco. Lol. Sorry for the long post and if this has been covered.
