New to the site here. I am a medical patient trying my best to become self sufficeint and supply my own meds and I am having a problem that seems to be getting worse by the day. I noticed this starting about 3 days ago. I have looked through many threads but I can not tell what the problem is with this lady. I have another strain that has lived along side and received everything the same as this one but with no ill effect. These started in a 3'x3'x3' vented box in a garage attic with approx 120w mixed spectrum CFL's & 4 2ft T5's then moved under a 600w with vented hood in the same attic garage. The space is approx 10' Wide x 15L' x 6 1/2' Tall with obviously less usable room due to the roof angle in the attic and the 3x3x3 box. I have a air intake fan, air axhaust fan, large circulating fan and a portable AC running 24/7. Thanks in advance for any help.

When you say large circulation fan, just how big do you mean? It almost looks like its damage from the leaves hitting each other under a high prolonged wind. If your blowing a fan directly on the plants, you shouldn't get too strong with it. They should look more like they are dancing and swaying as opposed to bending over in a hurricane.

However, it might pay you to look very carefully on the undersides of the leaves for tiny insects...as the pattern of decay sorta looks like leaf miners.
