Dead fan leaves....?

hello first time poster here....i have recently purchased some clones at a shop in LA i have had them for a week and it appears that the shop over fertilized the clones as they are wilting/spotting in areas mainly on the lower/older leaves as the new development looks healthy. I will post pics soon. My main question is about my dead fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant. Do i cut them off at the root where it connects to the main stem ? thanksfor the help everyone.

notice the black spots ?

how often u water em? any nutes?

whats your ph in your flood and drain system. is that coco your growing in? what is ppm and what strain(s)

Let me say. Goood luck. No more water. No more nutess, stop
Lights closer
Give them a day or 2
Anyone??????????????????????????

yeah, im preaty sure its overwatering

yes that is coco....i was watering once a day straight distilled water. I got advice after the wilting started to hold of on watering for two days. I held off for two days and watered today. I transplanted them in the coco a week ago. I put the clones with the rockwool cubes into the basket and filled each basket with coco. I have 4 g-13 clones, 6 og kush, and one lonely sour deisel all indica dom.Oh yeah i dont know the ph of the water i still need to get a tester :-/ i figured using ditilled water would be alright for now until i got a ph tester and started using nutes. BTW i am using a pioneer t-5 high output fluorescent for the veg and 1000w hps for flower. This is my first grom btw

man good luck! id like to see dat g-13, man ....legend!!!!! Cheers!

I heard the shop over-ferts their clones alot. I have been running pure water for the week i have had them. I had the lights about 12' above the plants when they started to wilt. I moved the lights to 24'...and still now change......held off watering for two days.Still no change......

wot??? u use the fluros now right??

I do have a three part nutrient system i am waiting to use when or if they start to improve. Btw the nutrient system is a three part system fromgeneral hydroponics its includes Flora Bloom 0-5-4, Flora Grow 2-1-6, Flora Micro 5-0-1

Yes i am using the t-5 high output 4'x2' 8 bulbs for veg cycle....it was highly recommended at my local shop

so i should try not watering and put the lights closer????

you should adjust the ph of that water. it should be around 5.7 also if you have a ph pen see if you can get a ph reading from the wet coco. its a long shot but it can only give you peace of mind. i have a nice og mom i got from a club it seems alot of the co ops in socal are stopping the sale of cloness

yes to the closer lights. also i wouldnt recommend the 3 part gh. its a great hydo nutrient system but for your soil i would recommend a nute system for coco coir
