Nice tight set up. Aqua Flakes? Running the whole lineup? What are you using to adjust the PH? Looks like it could be acid burn from down....What about light leaks and algae? Last pic, back row sure is standing tall....nice

Shooting powder is right- you can shoot yourself right in the foot with that shit if you're not careful.
Were there any foliar sprays before this showed up?

Your welcome bro. Are you using the shooting powder? H&G I think tells you to adjust ph before you add the additives. When have to adjust down I really really mix it well. like I'm talking blended here and I dont get the burn anymore....I hate using it, and I have too in late flower feeding aggressively, brings mine up to mid 8's...You running RO?

Yea using the powder. Follow the directions to a t. Tried adding all then adjusting. It doesn't seem to change. Its weird cause was exactly the same thing when ran gh also. No matter what strain. Guy at hydro store threw out humidity but the ph down seems logical. To me. Honestly best answer I've heard. Whether that's it or not lol. Do use a lot of down. Ph drifts up abit everyday so its quite a bit plus whatever I use when I change the water every week. Running ro water also. Any suggestions on what I can use for down

@alilderanged It's not so much the kind of acid used, it's more about how much. If you're having trouble controlling high pH with the standard mixes of citric acid, that tells me you might have better luck using a strong acid. Mad Farmer's Get Down product has a strong acid in it. Use it just like normal- only sparingly!
@squiggly Would you have any insights into how this works and whether we're even barking up the right tree?

My guess is a faulty pH probe. Go get some test strips. Use a utensil to drip some of your res water on the test strip and see what the pH is. Compare that with the reading from your probe.

a guy on another site threw co2 to the roots because my air pumps are in the room and i have co2 going?

If this is the case, be certain your pH calibration fluid is fresh/accurate.

Seems to me with two meters reading the same thing I'd trust what they say too. All I can tell you is what happened in my garden bro....My ladies stop having those similar spots when I mixed better...I try not to chase the PH thing to much. I'll let it go down to low 5's and over 7 before I do anything....I run CO2 also....lol It would help the roots...thats a good one....:)

Sound advice, all around. I recently had an episode where I started chasing the pH and stunted the shit out of my girls. Start a bit light on nutes and only add if they want it.
If two meters are calibrated with solution that's wrong, you'll have matching reasons... that are both wrong.
FWIW, when my leaves started looking like this I backed down the nute strength, rebalanced pH and they came right around.

Have you dumped the nutes and mixed up a fresh batch? It took me twice doing that recently to solve my problem- which was of course caused by my dumb ass! I'm used to running my rh up around 65-70% and lately it's been in the 40% range, give or take five points. I didn't adjust for conditions and my shit straight fried.

70 % RH is pretty wet dude. Tropical, any mold issues ty? I bet your girls love it. Can I call ya Ty?
I get it on the pumps, mine are in my flower pad as well. Hit it with the Roots excel if ya want some crazy roots....I've done both with and with out and huge difference....I've been running co2 too long to remember a root difference there, might be a little something going on though...
If your running multi cuts off the same mom, then it's got to be something in common with both of the runs....especially if you switched nutes...
Either way they look almost done anyway, maybe like Ty suggested a good flush and rock on. How far along? What kind of lamps you running? Hows the heat? Do you vent at all? lol
