Holy Christ.... You have sooooo much going on I don't know where to start. I'm not sure if I can help ya. Aeroponics for a first time grower is not something I would recommend. I have never done aeroponics but have some understanding of it.
You have more nutrients and addatives than I can count.
Stop taking anything off the plants you are going to stress it even more.
Can you take pics of the roots.
What is your source water? Tap, RO etc and ppm?

This is what a grow would look like if someone started a grow 100% solely based on how buddy at the hydro store said to do it. Leaving nothing out.
I dont even know where to begin. You should try a hard reset, forget everything, and I mean everything you thought you knew about growing pot and grab a couple grow books. Good ones. Start with the absolute basics, cut 95% of your "nute stack" out, and learn about proper IPM. Follow some of the grow diaries here for tips and mimic successful growers feeding guidelines and environment parameters.
Throwing so much stuff at them is never good for the vast majority of growers. Less is best. Even a simple one part on its own like maxigrow or something would be better.
Roots that young and color are not from nutes. Especially in aeroponics. The roots are infected. Honestly I think trying to give you advice of how to fix it would be over my head and I would be doing both of us a disservice.I am using tap water which when tested was ~100ppm and pH 7.8.
I uploaded a photo of the roots but please note that the nut turn the water brown (golden tree and plant enzyme)
So... start all over use maybe just the Humboldts A, B and golden tree which I already have. And keep the PH 5.5-6 using PH down?Roots that young and color are not from nutes.

Aeroponics is a very temperamental system and all parameters need to be met.
What went wrong here. High water temps, foliar spraying, removing leaves, so many different nutrients and addatives I can't pinpoint what caused what.
I would start with basics. If you decide to start over I could possibly be of some help but I don't think I can give any advice as to how to turn this around.
Starting PPM 300 and at what point do I raise it?If your gonna start over. Use you A+B if your going with tap at that ppm 1/4 dose cal mag. Starting ppm I would go with 300. You need to get the res temps down to 70 if you can. I would consider sterile over a live system for aeroponics but if you going live keep the enzymes and add hydrogaurd or great white to the mix.
That I can’t seem to be able to keep below 80. Are there any relatively inexpensive ways to lower res temp reliably?First things first bit to answer your question.
You raise it when the plants tell you too. There is no such thing as a feeding schedule unless you have grown the same strain and recorded it yourself. Forget feeding schedules and label dosages... This is important. They are guidelines and absolutely nothing more.
You need to slow down a bit and make sure you can provide the conditions need to grow it. First and foremost res temps.
Thank you!I'm off to bed but if you really want to start over and give it a real go. You gonna need to fix those res temps and go either sterile or get hydrogaurd or great white.
Will check notifications in the morning.

Agreeing with everyone else here for the most part. I don't think aeroponics is more difficult than any other method but it does come with some of its own unique requirements and challenges. Some tips for the next grow:First Time Grower (day 16 from seed)
I have been finding rust spots and discoloration on the leaves and I’m not sure what to do about it. I noticed it 4 days ago and it has shown up more and more. I was told the seeds where “Kali Mist” I have cut the leaves off since they looked beyond the point of return and I did not want the plant wasting energy on the leaves. I am using:
100% pure aeroponic system with a 20 gallon res
2 large air stones with a 793 GPH air pump
1638 GPH constant flow pump
“Morsen 2400W LED Grow Light 2 Dimmer On Off Switch Full Spectrum” light. ~ 12 in above plants
20 on 4 Off timer
6” filtered air in and air out
Humboldts secrets flower stacker
Humboldts secrets Tree Trunk
Humboldts secrets Sweet and sticky
Humboldts secrets Base A
Humboldts secrets Base B
Humboldts secrets Calmag and Iron
Humboldts secrets Golden Tree
Humboldts secrets Plant Enzymes
(Mixed according to feed chart for veg 1 to 700 PPM)
general hydroponics pH down to a pH of 5.00 right now allowed to fluctuate up to 6.00.
And I used a foliage spray ~5 days ago after turning the light off consisting of:
Bayer Neem Oil (1ml/L)
Nectar for the Gods Athenas Aminas (4ml/L)
Spray N Grow coco-wet (5ml/L)
Dyna Gro Pro-Tekt The Silicon Solution (2.5ml/l)
Natures Miracle Molecules Mr. Fulvic (1ml/l)
Technaflora Thrive Alive B-1 Green (2.5ml/L)
Technaflora Magical (2ml/l)
Technaflora Sugar Daddy (1ml/l)
(Mixed with tap water)
Water temps have been ~ 80 degrees F
Air temp ~85 F
Humidity ~ 45% using a diffuser (not enough room in tent for a humidifier)
FIMmed ~ 5 days ago since I need these plants to remain short and bushy. 4 plants in a 24”x24”x48” tent. (Kali Mist was only seeds I could get. I ideally want northern lights and LSD auto).
Plants started in a different aeroponic system under T5 HO grow lights using General Hydroponics part B to 700 ppm. PH of 5.50 allowed up to 6.00. I moved them into then new system 2 days ago. Humidity was ~35%, water temp ~80 F, air temp 75 F.
Upon relooking at the plants I see some purple now. So I feel like I have a phosphorus issue and originally burned the leaves with the foliage spray. I’d like to lower my water temp down but I don’t know a cheap way of doing that.View attachment 912385View attachment 912385View attachment 912386View attachment 912387View attachment 912388View attachment 912389View attachment 912390View attachment 912391View attachment 912392
