first timer trying hydro and dirt.
1000w hps, light temp 70-80, no idea humidity level.
On big plant, tips of leaves just starting to turn brown(only tips at this point). using Sunshine mix #4(transplanted to larger pot a week ago).
small plants not of the same variety.Started in peat pucks and placed in tray of dirt. had powder mildew but treated and retreated a second time.just transplanted into hydroton with some dirt still attached to roots(mostly shaken out.
drip feed 1 gallon an hour. ph 6-6.5
Hydrofuel groei A (3.5-0-3.5) and B(.7-.62-1.9) running 24/7.
water temp 65-70room temp. using bottled water
i just brought ph down to 5.5-6.0 on advice for hydro.
used same nute and ph for a dirt plant, brown tips just started.

Kinda looks like to me you have some insect and nute burn issues. As a general rule it take soil grown plants a bit longer to take the strong nutes. More info and pics would be helpful.

on ugly plant 2 actually were outside and wasps ate the ugly leaves.
main issue is leaf.
a couple lower more than likely got hit when placing nute drips.
but even on my 4 ft dirt the leafs are turning dead only tips sofar though.
