Curl up and brown spots hellllllppppo

Background
  • 4th week of flower
  • 6.5-6.8ph
  • Fox farm ocean forest soil
  • Fox farms big bloom, grow big and cha Ching
  • 72 degrees day and 68-69 at night. Humidity between 40-50
  • 7 gallon fabric pots
  • 2000 watt LEDS plat 23 inch from light
Issue: I fed them yesterday about 1 gallon each plant. As I normally have been. Out of nowhere just in last couple hours 1 plant out of the 7 I have is curling up with a bunch of brown spots. The leaves feel pretty dry. Some leaves curling up and some clawing down.

So it’s getting worse and I highered the light and did a flush. Why the brown little spots too. It’s curling up midway down the plant and curling down at bottom half.

Like was said too much light intensity and the "clawed" dark green leaves is from nitrogen toxicity.
 
If you are in the 4th week of flower you can stop the Grow Big. The leaves look like they have plenty of nitrogen and she's about done growing and will focus on growing and ripening the flowers.

Is your runoff ~6.5? Clawing leaves is often due to pH being out of order.

Sorry I meant big bloom. Runoff is 6.3-6.5.
What would the orange and clawing up then be?

I’m curious of what those lights are, and what they actually draw, because usually when you hear “2000W”, and they are blurples, they wouldn’t cause light damage from 23” like that. It looks like you’ve overdone the Ni, possibly caused lockout (brown spots from lack of calcium), and perhaps that made it more easily damaged from the light?

  • 【Triple-chips 15W LEDs】its triple-chip 15W LED design (three 5 watt chips per LED), makes this light both brighter and more efficient than what could be produced by one employing either double or single chip LEDs. This new step in LED technology has been scientifically engineered to optimize efficiency and light output by utilizing lower powered LED chips (more efficient) and more chips per LED (brighter). intensely bright light that requires minimal input power.Let your plants grow quickly.
  • 【VEG & BLOOM Double Channel】The VEG channel utilizes a full spectrum of colors for germinating seedlings and young plants consuming 210W of power. The BLOOM channel implements more red wavelengths to simulate late summer and is most suited for plants in the flowering stage while consuming only 130W. VEG and BLOOM can be used together to encourage maximum growth performance from seedling to harvest. This light can replace a traditional 2000W HPS/MH lamp while consuming only 400W total !
  • 【Daisy Chain Available】Daisy Chain multiple lights together in order to keep the grow space organized and avoid the need for excessive wiring. The included power cable serves a double purpose and can be either plugged into a standard outlet or into the Daisy Chain outlet of another grow light. If using the typical 110/120VAC supply, each light draws 3.4A. To ensure safety, not more than 2 lights together per chain. More lights can be implemented in other chains of up to 2 grow lights each.
  • 【Coverage area & Height】The 2000W LED grow light core coverage area is 80"*80"(6.8*6.8ft). Maximum coverage area is 92"x 92"(7.8x7.8ft). We recommend running the lights 15-18 hours per day during the germination and early leaf stages at a height of between 18"-24" and 12-14 hours per day during the flowering and fruiting stages at a height of between 24-32." We suggest both the VEG and BLOOM switches be turned ON during the flowering and fruiting stages of the plants' growth.
  • 【4 Years Warranty】We are so confident in our products' quality and plant growing abilities that we offer a 4 Year Warranty with friendly customer service and a 90 days unconditional money back guarantee. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will offer you professional guidance to help you help your plants grow better.

A few things ....
N Tox ... nitro too high in bloom ... buds will be smaller and or deformed
Add calmag ( necessary evil for led / blurple grows )
Light is no where near 2000w much less 400w draw ( check with Killawatt plug )
Curl up leaf means plant is having issues trying to keep moisture in leaf ( heat /stress / temps )

Lastly .... Flushing does nothing

So I’m sure what ur recommending here. Seems like statements but I’m not sure. What’s your recommendation

The seller needs to learn math. They claim the veg lights draw 210W, the flower lights draw 130W, and then say it compares to a 2,000W bulb while only consuming 400W. 210W + 130W = 340W

bro that’s a good prognosis ... what you mean what do I do the damage is done done .... prevention is key. Spots look like nute toxicity. And top looks heat burned . Maybe fan burn ., Other than that it’s not too bad. Fox farm are very Ol school nutrients. Get a calcium based organic their more forgiving.

Yes .. adjust ph from 6.2 to 6.5 to allow calmag to temper the spotting, it is a common issue when running blurple panels.
Led grows often have host medium cooler than other light systems like HPS which introduces more ambient heat and IR that led panels don’t do , which affect transpiration. Raising interior temps to a stable 80° + and spreading watering out between will compensate.

Not the end of the world , you are merely stopping the progression . Leaves will not go back to normal , you are just putting the brakes on it. Definitely STOP using high nitro in feed. I would do ONLY WATER for bit so plant can consume excess , then later pick up with straight bloom only feed.
