How are the roots? You might want to cut that dead stuff off and any leaves that have been damaged. It makes it hard to see if it's old or current damage.

Over fert , most definaitly
Yes im using RO water. The light was about 8" away with my 400W MH, but i switched to 600W HPS and now its about 18" away.

I do see burning on the tips, so I do feel like its got enough food. The PPMs are also rising, meaning shes drinking more water and less nutes.
I have never even grown before so you should definitely take my advice with a grain of salt. At this point it could be other problems that arose due to the initial problem causing the plant to become unhealthy. You even said yourself that the plant is drinking more water and less nutes, so I'm curious why you didn't consider you may be over fertilizing?

If it is currently over feed that can be remedied quickly. I'd focus on the necrosis and make sure it stops. How are the roots looking and smelling now and has the necrosis stopped? That is the main thing as it can/will kill the plant and in short order if not addressed.

I dunno man. Thinking about scrapping the entire plant.

Working 60-84 hours a week shes defineitly been neglected. Battling to keep res temps under 73, and just not giving her the required time. Probably gonna dump the scrog and go back to 5 gal buckets. Need to keep it simple with my hectic work schedule right now. Plus i need to invest in a chiller.. or hell just go back to soil.

Nah don't give up on the plant. I can see how messing with that scrog would be a pain in the rear when dealing with a sick plant though.

I know it seems like a hassle when you're getting all kinds of advice, "lights too close, it's too hot", fighting about the lucas formula etc.

I would get the same thing in my DWC pretty much every time until I got it figured out. I live in a very warm climate so if it's not the dead of winter, I'm battling rez temp issues on top of any thing else or the temps would create problems. When I saw the pic of your leaf it was very familiar but I've been able to get a hold on it.

With your busy schedule I'd just keep it simple.

If that were my plant I'd do the following because it's how I corrected my past problems that were identical:

Pull the plant out and scrub the heck out of your rez and wipe the inside down with rubbing alcohol or bleach.
Look at the roots and cut any dead/bad sections off.
Cut off any dead foliage.
Make some of this (very inexpensive) and use it as directed in the post it works great keeping roots nice when temps are a bit higher than desired. https://www.rollitup.org/t/make-2200-worth-of-clear-rez-for-4.423650/
Go with simple nutes, buy a quart of DynaGro Bloom and use the recommended amount (1 tsp per gallon) with one teaspoon per gallon of cal-mag (Calimagic, Botanicare whatever flavor of cal-mag you choose) and the DIY Clear Rez

More aeration. Hit the store and buy another cheap aquarium pump (for now) with a few air stones to supplement your current aeration. I don't think that little air pump you have now is enough for the 10 gallons, I could be wrong but I don't think so. Sure it the listed rating for a fish aquarium might be 20-30 gallons but you're aerating the roots of a plant, completely different.

When you top off, top off with only Ph'd water perhaps with a little cal-mag and the DIY Clear Rez swap out rez every Sunday (or one of your days off every week)

Good luck and don't give up on it, you'll get it dialed in.

Thanks guys, im using 2 air stones with 2 pumps right now. But I have no problem upgrading the pump. I actually do have some black air line sitting on top of the tent, just haven't gotten around to swapping out that clear line. I have an identical tub also. Im going to set up the new tub correctly with proper air pumps, stones, and air line. I'll swap tubs out this weekend.

I never heard of that Clear Rez but ill look at it closer and give it a shot.

Im actually off this weekend so I should be able to really spend some time with it.

I was just getting beyond frustrated with this thing, but you guys have given me a little hope.

Looking more into "clear rez" and it seems almost like a miracle additive. Not sure why I haven't heard much about it. Is this stuff OK to run 24/7?

I'd just go by what the bottle says if you buy it, if you make your own as described in the link posted earlier then run it 24/7.

Figured I would give an update. Although shes not perfect, she has improved. Ive got the temps under control always staying under 70, and using the clear res home made solution. Heres some pics for some feedback.
