  2. res temp? ph? ppm?
     
    can't just look at a shitty pic and determine what is wrong
     
  3. Looks like the roots aren't getting enough oxygen.
     
    Looks like the over all nutrient strength is too high, and that causes the nutrient element ratios to get out of balance.
     
    The damage to the fan leaves could be from pH shift or nutrient imbalance (micro nutrient deficiency due to too much of certain elements rather than a lack of the deficient element(s).

    the res temp a don't know the pH is 6 ppm don't know either yeah the spots are a rust color was using ionic grow at half strength at first and they were fine then filled the tank up last wk with full strength then they started going the like its a 1.2x1.2 grow tent under 400w dual spec bulb its warm inside it the tent like really warm don't know if that's got anything to do with not sure what other info u nd still new ere
     
  5. I had the same issue on some of my lower fans. Added some cal mag and it stopped the problem from spreading. It does look like you are over feeding or something is locked out.

    Need more info though, get a water probe from any aquarium section they are $10 or less. Water temp is important, what size airpump? How many airstones? Humidity? Temp? All those things you need to know to diagnose your problems.

    I'm on my first grow and having as much information about what's going on in your room is super helpful in my opinion. You can quickly deduce what may or may not be causing you problems.
     
  6. I got little stick on thermometers at the hydro store for $2 ea. they are really helping me in fine tuning my plant's environment. If your environment is warm then almost for sure your res will be warm too and thats bad. How's your ventilation?
    A ppm meter is a MUST
    If I was in your situation I would start over with fresh water at 1/2 strength (whatever worked last) and ph to 5.8, then get a cheap $10 ppm meter on ebay and follow gg guide on feeding in hydro, its stickied at the top of this section
