B) Distance from tops?
- In Veg Room, about 4-6 inches.
C) Reflector type?
- Veg Room: Basic 4?? Flourescent reflector.

- Veg Room:
- Wattage: 32watts per light
- Kelvin Ratings: I don??t know

Your nutrients and water:
I) If using rockwoll for clones or seedlings, did you rinse the cubes well, with properly ph'd water?
- Yes
J) Source of water. (tap or filtered) What's it's ph?
- Tap water, ph between 5.8 and 6.2
K) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.

- I change the water out once a week with new nutrients.
- Dosages:
- First 2 weeks of clones ?? ¼ tsp/gallon of each.
- 3rd week- 1 tsp/gallon of each
- 4-8 weeks ?? Full strength
L) What is the ec/ppm of your unadjusted tap (or filtered) water?
- Don??t measure it.
M) What is the ec/ppm of your nutrient solution?
- PPM Meter says 1250. Had it as high as 1700, but had some leaves curling so I toned it back.
In the first couple weeks it was showing 700 on my meter.

- Mostly around room temperature, between 70-75 Degs.

- Not really. If it is, its minor, between 5.8-5.9.
Q) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you
spray? (Just after lights come on, just before they go out...)
- I just spray them with ph balanced tap water once a day after the lights come on.

This post is pretty late, but I just saw it. The first thing I would try is spraying the plants down with pure water, like soak the hell out of them to clean the stomata (the leaves pores).

This of course should be done with the lights off, at least 2 - 3 hours before the lights come on to allow the plants time to dry to prevent light burn.

It's been quite awhile since you posted this, how did the plants turn out? Did they recover?

Ya they recovered thankfully. They are now in the flowering stage. Been there for a month now and growing nice buds!! I'm still at a loss for what caused this? I'm sure it probably caused them to yield less once harvested?
