I have 2 different strains in this bin. One is doing charmingly. The other has developed these spots. Burn, deficiency? I just moved from soil to hydro and am trying to figure it out. Help? Please?
Hydroponics Nut Deficiency?

Looks to me like the move to hydro needs a bit of an adjustment.
I believe what you are seeing is not a nute burn but a deficiency caused most likely by your water not properly pH.
Nute burn usually starts at the tip of the leaf. Try flushing, start back at half nutes setting your pH at 5.8 and run that for a week.
Should be fine.

My pH was a bit high... 7.3. Is 5.8 not too low? I try to maintain around 6.5 with soiled growing and watering. The reservoir seems to get an swing in pH pretty quickly. Is it recommended to check and adjust the reservoir every few days? This site really is a life saver.

7.3 is way to high for hydro. Need to get it in a range of 5.8 to 6.2
Thats what I thought. You said you were comming from soil.
Yes you do need a lower PH in hydro. I realize it is a bit of a pain but you need to adjust ph at least once a day. In veg you want 5.5 to 6.0 so 5.8 is a good mark to shoot for. In flower the plant requires different nutrients that are more easily absorbed at a slightly higher Ph. So shoot for 6.2
By adding an airstone to your res will help a bit.
Here is a chart to give you a better idea.
