Name That Deficiency

And I never said it was VDP - VPD (I'm dyslexic) and only feel a bad VPD may have played a roll.

Do you all agree it is a PH that needs to be raised?

Not sure, this is the 3rd time I have come across it though. Trying to track it down. I think it is a lockout. I did what DG said and went to a pH of 6.8 yesterday.

Time will tell IDK.
If it was related to light it may have happened at an earlier date when maybe the light was to close.
Did you have the light closer a week or two ago then move it further away?

Yeah it seems like an uptake problem not input try some beneficial microbes out you are in coco with these right?

I'm in the camp that you went heavy handed on the nutes a bit. You can see it in the base of your upper leaves as well as the tips. It shorted mag a little bit too with those turned up tips.

All in all it's very healthy, but at 6.8... I feel like it's going to do worse for you. Just my opinions.

That is what I thought as well, went round and round with DG on the phone. I ended with, ok I'll raise it to 6.8 and see what happens. Didn't change anything else.
 
What do you think it is hrh?
Potassium excess. We were discussing on another thread about potassium excess showing on plants under LED. I’m not sure if that’s valid but that’s what a couple were saying. Occurs more with blurples. Just a guess from the leaf.

Add: old memory. This came up trying to address a calcium deficiency. Apparently utilization of potassium under some lights is decreased causing an excess. This excess causes calcium to be blocked. But I’m not a botanist.

Curious!
VPD was 1.1 when the plant was about 18" + away from the light.
What was the VPD when the light was 4" away from the plant?
Same, but my sensors are at the canopy level for temp and humidity. They are controllers, so they do their thing.
