I do not think it is a nutrient defeciency anymore. It has been in a nutrient mixture for over a day now with symptoms getting even worse, Leaves are getting more and more covered with the purplish blotches and shriveling up. The edges of the leaves are curling upward towards the center of the leaf while the tips are contorting. I noticed the roots are browning more. I'm worried they are going to die and I have no idea why. I thought maybe the roots were browning because of light leaking through the roots but I relight-proofed the reservoir and lid yesterday and still they are looking worse. I will post updated pictures in a couple more hours show exactly the symptoms and how it looks. But the way its looking right now is I am going to just change out the reservoir again and put nothing but PH 6.0 water in it and hopefully that will help. I have no idea what is going on with them and any help is super appreciated. Please help save my babies! lol.

These pictures show exactly whats in my nutrients so hopefully one of you guys on here will know what is going on with my plants. The pictures of the plants showing the symptoms are from yesterday. It has about doubled or tripled that now. They are looking pretty bad. I will post updated pics when I get home. +REP to the person who solves my problem.

Well first off, now i see hydro is the way togo. Grows so fasst!!!

Secondly you have a difecient nutrient. Or maybe something is not allowing for uptake of it. And that nutrient is P (phosphorus) treat by lowering PH in the hydro set up to 5.5 -6.2 and it shoud become available. Iron and zinc in the water will help also cuz those help uptake of P

Hope this helped GL !!!
