Sorry my post may of been confusing with how it was and my rambling, my light is almost 4 and a half feet away from the plants and I'm using a $80 PAR meter, so nothing fancy but not my phone. Are you suggesting I move the light closer? Also I now have nice long roots in the buckets, I was just saying that I didn't help them from the start by keeping them as high up as I did. Roots are definitely going good and strong and are pretty much all bleach white with some spots a little darker but nothing like dark brown or covered in slime.Best thing is to learn how to read your plant rather than cell phone light meters. You cooking your plant ! Move the light away. 24 to 30 inches. I think 30 in this case to start with. If you are measuring nutrients carefully and fallowing directions your plant should green up and recover in a week 10 days.
Run solution over balls every 2 hours when you can and get those roots going. They will soon grow outside the basket and you can back off as the watering system will look after her needs.
Thanks for the help Ron, I had my light at 50% and turned it down to 40% after your reply yesterday. I will keep an eye on it and see if further light reduction is needed.I'm still seeing light washout, blistering and leaf curling. All usually related to light stress.
Id still consider turning your lights down to 60% - 70% and see if they clean up.
today's LED lights are so powerful you can stress plants very easy.
I assumed you where using a phone meter but the same thing goes weather it's an $80 dollar meter or a cell phone meter.
You can ball park it with a meter. But if the plant is showing light stress or burning you still need to turn the lights down
regardless of meter readings. Think about it a bit and do what ever you feel is best for your plants.
Hope this helps you.
Ron.
With just a little luck that 10% reduction will reduce the stress on your plant enough that she will green up and get healthy for you.Thanks for the help Ron, I had my light at 50% and turned it down to 40% after your reply yesterday.

I dialed my LED down to 30%, it's over 4ft above the plants as well. For the nutes I'm just following the schedule Athena uses and then added a little when I thought there was a deficiency. I just did a change last night and did the 1050 recommended PPM again. If they are still struggling in a week I will reduce the nutes for sure. Thanks everyone for all your help.@Imzzaudae gave you some good info, LED's can kill if ya let them. I'd just mention that 1100ppm is a bit on the high side for plants this age. I stay in the 400 - 500 range. We are all guilty of pushing our plants, thinking that's the case here.

Do you think I would be better suited in pulling like 20ish gallons of solution out and putting clean water back in to try and get down to around 500ish or let it ride for the next 6 days?@Imzzaudae gave you some good info, LED's can kill if ya let them.

Listen to your plants. If they show no improvement from dropping the lights. A week is a 1/16 of a plant’s lifetime.Do you think I would be better suited in pulling like 20ish gallons of solution out and putting clean water back in to try and get down to around 500ish or let it ride for the next 6 days?
I'm thinking you need to relax a bit. Give your plant a couple of weeks to reset.Everything about these leaves points to light. Rolled edges and blistered look looks like someone wiped the green off exposing a faded yellow. The thing is that this will take a while to grow out of the plant. Weeks, not over night because
you dropped your light power.
I'm gonna a be honest, sounds like you are not reading my post at all, literally every question you have asked, the info was all there on my original post. I appreciate all the help but when you are asking questions that are already provided right at the beginning it makes me question the help you're trying to give me. Even in my first post I said I had my light 4.5 feet away and you were telling me I had light stress but saying my lights should 24"-30" away.I'm thinking you need to relax a bit. Give your plant a couple of weeks to reset.
Just feed her. Measure your nutrients very carefully with a syringe if you have. This is very important.
What about PH? What PH are you running your solution?
What temperature are you running your solution?
How much solution does your tank hold?
Would you post the products you are using with the NPK value of each for me.
I would honestly suggest that you simply remove the damaged leaves so they are not bothering you.
Simply stop worrying so much, Just let your plant be, see how the new growth looks in 2 weeks time.
I was researching dwc and found these numbers.
Indica's
Seedlings and clones 300-400ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 500-600ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 600-800ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1300ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1400-1600ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
sativa's
seedlings and clones 250-350ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 300-500ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 500-700ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 700-900ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1100-1300ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
It took me years to find this video. Hope it helps you.
Keep your pH at 5.8, don't have a fan directly on the plants unless it oscillates, 750 ppm is too much, 400-500 much better for nowPlease help! I am at a 2 out of 10 for the light, it's about 4 feet from the plants, I've cut my feed back to 750ppm and my problems are getting worse. I saw a couple spots on the leaf with a little piece missing so I thought maybe some kind of pest so I sprayed an organic pest control yesterday,This left a slight residue on the plants that had me freaking out thinking it was powdery mildue. Check on them this morning and the problem is getting even worse. View attachment 2202528View attachment 2202529View attachment 2202530
