Hey guys, haven't received any feedback in the plant problems forum yet so I'll bring it to the real experts here in they hydro section.

Some of my leaf tips are curling upwards. They look dried at the tips and feel dry to the touch.

In addition, there are some discolorations on some of the leaves, not yellow or brown, just lighter/dryer shade of green. Almost as if the top layer of "skin" was peeled away...(bugs?)

Other than that the plants look great. The roots look & smell healthy also.

Yesterday morning I unhooked the planter (5 gal bucket with aeroponic sprinkler inside). I had to make adjustments to the resevoir which took a few hours. Although I lightly sprayed down the roots twice (once every 1.5-2 hours) with Ph'd water with just a drop of base nutes. I wonder if this caused some dehydration? Also, 2 soil plants around same age, same grow cabinet not showing signs of this...

These symptoms didn't take place until 12-16 hours after my maintenance (in the middle of the night).

Only other thing I can think of is that I sprayed the plants a little. Could the 40w CFL's about 4 inches away burned them through the water droplets?

All feedback appreciated.
