IMO its probably the pH... I don't have a digital meter but I have the iodine drop test kit. Could've been off a few notches but I'm not too sure. So I said fuck that and transplanted from bubbler setup to soil just to be safe!

I didn't know you can over feed a mature plant with active Hydroponics??? I only used recommended dose. And it's still growing dude, I just topped it for the 4th time and the new growth is lovely.
Thanks anyway!

Lights are at 25℅ of 600 watts, temps are at 73L 87H, humidity 30 to 40℅, food oneness by humbolt plus a calcium supplement from humbolt. Plant was in 1 gallon bubbler full veg nutes. But after seeing the colors change like what you see in the picture I went ahead and switched to soil to see if this save the poor thing!

Oh boy!
take that dog over to the bath tub and pour some ph water 6.2 over the pot,about 3 gallons.
now spray the shit out of the leafs with green Cleaner.
Take a new 3 or 5 gallon pot,put 2" perlite in the bottom and put some new 50/50 mix in there
now start a new feeding program...start 1/4 strength work her up to full strength ppm 700-1200

Well played sir! Well played... I will look into it thanks man! I did however start off slow on the food ratios and I figured since its a decent size to give it full strength but I will try your advice on the feeding. Also I had my ph at neutral 7.0 but I have read that when in veg the plants like it a little acidic rather than alk. Thanks man!
I like your style lol

Gonna agree with above post looks nute fried. Too much salt in soils. Do what he said flush them and start fresh. After u flush thoroughly start with 1/4 strength nutes and stay light till u see recovery. Could try some nitrozime (foliar) or superthrive to stimulate growth. Whats dead is dead, it isnt gonna magically come back to life. Look for new growth to become normal again. Get in the habit of watching the leaf tips for light yellow followed by brown. Usually u can catch the nute burn before it gets out of control.
What did the roots look like?
What nutrients are you using?
Hydrogen peroxide mix can sometimes help as well for roots
A 3$ soil test kit can tell u alot about ur problems and a ph meter is a necessity in hydro. Drop kit isnt gonna be accurate enough. U should keep that drop kit as a seco dary if ur ph meter ever were to go out. Soil shoukd drift between 6.2-6.7. If u check out nutrient absorption charts online u will see where certain thing stop being absorbed well. The happy medium is between that. Mixes like fox farm ocean forest will be slightly more acidic and i would normally ph my nutes and water to 6.8 and feed maybe 1/4 to 1/2 strength all the way through veg due to how much is already in the soil.
I use fox farm full lineup and never exceed 2/3 strength at any point in growth. Its just too much. I learned that with my own nute burn as well haha.Only strain that i ever had that handled 80% was blue dream. If u can kill that plant u seriously need to reconsider how ur growing lol.
Those feed charts are evil

Cant tell properly cause the pic is taken under the light but it looks like major calcium deficiency. Also check PH, most plant problems comes from PH not being right at the root zone. If it can't absorb nutrients properly it doesn't matter how much you give it, it will eventually happen a nutrient lockout.

Thanks dude! Yea I still have the stone wheel at this moment. But I am looking for a decent ph meter on amazon. Don't know what brand to get though! Any suggestions? You see, that's exactly what I figured went wrong. This was my first time going hydro! I guess it's better to be prepared. But I will stick to soil for now....

What is a good brand for tds meters? Nothing fancy...

Oh! And the roots ended up looking like gross yellowish noodles! Where before they looked bright white. But all is well I'm sure I can recover! Haven't killed a plant yet and this would be my 6th plant but first ever hydro... Thanks for your help!!!!
Also I am using humbolt nutrients.

Pic of a cheap very acurate ph meter to buy. U also need to pick up 7 ph calibration solution at ur local hydro store.
Before calibrating make sure u rinse it off in distilled or ro water so u dont mix in any nutrient residue to ur calibration solution. After using do the same process and dip in calibration solution to protect the electrode.
U need general hydroponics ph up and down for balancing. (Easiest way). Feel free with any questions we are here to help!

Id definately get some nitrozime to speed up that recovery . Most importantly do not send that into flowering any time soon. Give a few weeks of recovery. Try putting a airstone in res and oxygenate the water. If the roots are fked u can try a light hydrogen peroxide mix to kill pythium or w.e has affected ur roots. Keep in mind now that ur in soil it will prolly kill ur beneficial micro's so id suggest water flushing after doing the hydrogen peroxide mix. Do some research before doing it but i believe its 1 tsp per gallon. Once u flush after peroxide watering water with 1/4 strength and introduce micro back into soil. Not sure if you have already flushed, if u did id just leave it alone.

Think its salt build up. and over watered
Yes u can over feed in hydroponics. N yes u can overwater in hydroponics.
Sorry i came off like a dick hope u bring her back around.
