Yellow and brown spotted leaves

[Jonesasaurus]

Alright stoners and stonerettes, here's the problem. Theres these plants in a small cabinet grow box, Purple Haze x White Widow clones, and they have began to develop yellow/pale leaves and brown spots, some leaves are becoming crunchy, and dead.

An opinion of one of my colleagues suggest that this may be the result of the cabinet being too hot, due to a recent heat wave.

Can anyone help me diagnose and fix my delicious babies?

well let's see, you do or don't have an exhaust fan that works? how do you get consistant fresh air?

by planting cubes do you mean rockwool? did you pre-soak the hydroton and rockwool?

you say you don't know the pH and you can't check it, but you know it's a stable 6.5? which is it?

by the way, you want your pH for hydro to be between 5.3-5.8.

how many bubls do you have? that's a big space for fluros.

The exhaust fan that's on it circulates the whole box, sucks air through the door.

Theres 6-3' bulbs, and 4-2' bulbs going.

Rockwool sounds about right, didn't presoak either but it didn't seem to be a problem with other generations.

Lol, you caught me, I have no idea what the pH is, I was told you don't need to balance the pH if youre growing with hydro, again it didn't seem to effect previous plants. But I'll keep that in mind.

I've got a Brom Thymol Blue indicator here, I'll give you a reading.

pH is reading at 5.6
