I would test your water but until then use distilled water. Keep going with the epsom foliar.
Alright. I apologize for lack of update. Have had some personal things come up in the last few days. But I did possibly find my culprit... We all know humidity is necessary for the plant to grow proper obviously. I recently found my old caliber iii hygrometer, I figured it was broken when the humidity read.... "--" which means it's literally a desert with zero humidity.... I went and bought another hygrometer, grabbed a caliber 4, and same reading, except this says "LL" obviously it's too low. But my whole house is this way? Normally we have just really low humidity like maybe 20% in the whole house. But lately I've noticed the air just in the house is super drying to the throat. An that's what had me think to check humidity not just in the grow, but all through the house. Sure an shit, 75-80% of the house air is so dry it doesn't come up with a reading at all?... Somehow I managed to suck all the humidity out of the air and in doing so the plant seems to be eating itself to death as one person suggested I over fed with nutrients which would make total sense in this case as the plant can't hold it's water literally and is burning up through nutrients moving too fast in it's system? At least that's how it seems when I read up about the relation of humidity and plants. Could 0% humidity cause this or weird nute deficiencies/toxicity? I'll post up progress pictures here in a bit as soon as I find the camera. But it's only gotten worse and this is the only thing environmentally I can think is wrong? 72F Degrees and zero humidity? Otherwise the plants shouldn't be doing this as some were just transplanted weeks before this showed up when I made the thread. Same soil outside didn't have this big of a problem, the problem outside was because in an unheated garage the temps never went above 65F and dropped to freezing during lights off. So that didn't help much, but they didn't start burning up like this, they just stalled flowering for a month and went dormant until shortly after putting the flower tent in the room then they spring back to life but then this happens? So logic would say it's the fan sucking all the moisture up?I would test your water but until then use distilled water. Keep going with the epsom foliar.
Humidity is very important and if temps/humidity are outta wack can cause deficiencies.After a few days of spraying at least twice a day with plain tap water, and they perked right up. Here's they are as of now. Should I get a humidifier to up the humidity at least a bit especially since my flower tent is taking a hit as well it seems from the humidity?

Flower tent as of now is 74-78F lioghts on and 65F Lights offHumidity is very important and if temps/humidity are outta wack can cause deficiencies.

I'm going to get my water and soil tested here real soon in a day or so to make sure everything checks out. I just got a humidifier as the household itself needed it anyways. The humidity is now hovering around 35% - 45% inside and outside the tent. Should I give a few days at least to see a difference? The misting now and again helped to a point but didn't stop the progression of what's going on. Could this be a manganese def/lockout given the brown mottled spots in the one picture and they are all in the same soil?Humidity is very important and if temps/humidity are outta wack can cause deficiencies.

Checking the local water department website it states our hardness or whatever at 70-80 average, I know this doesn't correlate to exact amounts coming from my tap but figured it would give a rough idea.I would test your water but until then use distilled water. Keep going with the epsom foliar.
Kind of just give every other week until lately when they started showing deficiencies, now I'm trying to figure it out.I'm not sure if this was asked but what is you feed and water schedule( f for feed, w for water only. I do fwwwf. Only reason I ask is i am doing a similar type of grow with BAS products for nutes but I was growing in 50/50 happy frog and sunshine mix. My first grow I was on more of a fwfwfw. I had the same type of thing happen to me. I'm very new to this whole thing but I'm pretty sure I over fed the crap out of them. My second grow was way better when I leaned everything back. I also brewed tea but now I just grind my BAS nutrient craft blend into a fine dust and add roughly 3 to 4 teaspoons per 4 gallons. No bubbling or brewing just stir then water.
