I'm pretty sure I told you on one of your other nineteen threads to keep the ph between 5.6-6.2. Unless you do that your plants will not do well and I'm afraid that's the bottom line in hydro.

one more nugget of advice: 38% humidity is pretty low for vegetative growth. try to get it closer to 50-60% if possible

-go at it with spray bottle daily, or get humidifier

It really was a pH problem. Don't write a lot of threads on the same topic please. Those are symptoms of nute lockout. The damage won't heal, so look at how healthy new growth is, or if it spreads.

LOL! Douge did you think I was just dropping by to make digs about your ph? Sorry you didn't realize that I meant it was your problem all along. ;)

Your plants can only uptake nutrients in hydro within a certain ph range. If your ph goes out of that range (as yours did.....alot) your plants cannot take up the nutrients in your water....no matter how much or how many there are in your solution. With an abnormal ph you WILL see nute defs and such things and they WON'T improve until your ph does. Ph is ALL in hydro.
