Ok so I'm new to hydro this is my first hydro grow and I'm leaning towards boron deficiency but not sure and would appreciate input.It's just the one plant the rest are thriving but the white label white widow one seed wouldn't germ and this plant is the one that did germ.

never grown hydro but my guess would be your nutrients ,are you going full strength ,at that size i would go 1/4 strength and step it up with progress

Boron deficiency? No chance.

What are you doing for nutes and feed levels? Ph?

I too recently tried hydro... love it. And I did use any nutes until the colydon (spelling) leaves died off. Then I started to feed at 300 ppm and worked up from there, keeping pH under 6 and no lower than 5.3. I also found that starting them under my T5's was better than LEDs to start.

Its not a nute def problem. Looks more like a heat/light intensity stress problem. If its not that it could be a pathogen issue ,make sure your using h202 every 4 days or have the res at 62 with a chiller.

The pH dropped a couple times to 4.5 but I have been using pH up to keep it at 6-6.2 I'm using pure blend pro botanicare nutes.400 hps lights 20 inches above the plant only the one has an issue the rest are beautiful. The amount of nutes is currently 225mg to 20gal of water this is the beginning of the second week of veg.

I think she'll be ok it looks like the growth has been stunted a little but she's looking better I'll update as the grow goes on.
