If those browed areas were crisp I say severe nutrient burn.

If the browned areas were moist, I say infection caused by the need to constantly water plants that large in such small pots. You must have watered every day to keep up with plants like that. Did you ever happen to water with nutrient filled water that had sat around for 2 + days?

well im skeptical of that, not to mention the quality, and bud production....as you can see, technically so did he..
you should check out some of FDDs' plants. hes got monsters in small ass pots and werks fine. ive seen this happen many times to plants outside due to heat and not having enough water and 82 is not to hot, my temps stay between 84-88 pretty much all through the grow with nothing like this

82 degrees isn't that hot, just was over at a friends house on this 92 degree day lookin at her outdoor plants, happiest plants i've ever seen. people think you have to make it perfect for the plant to grow right. well what about outdoor plants that go through rain and wind and cold and hot and still produce fat frosty nugs? i think that the point of growing indoors is to control the environment to make a good environment for the plants to grow in, your also using pots instead of the earth meaning the roots will run out of room, its inevitable, the roots are going to run out of room!!! i think spidermites killed your garden bro

I have seen plants like this before. I have one outdoors that is doing this right now. From all of my reading and reasurch I have come to the conclusion that it is a fungus that gets inside the plant ( as opposed to powder mildew which shows up on the leaves). I had 4 plants indoors do this which prompted me to completely strip down and sterilize my grow room. I will be sulfur burning my grow and flower room before any other plants go in there just to make sure that all surfaces have been treated.
This particular fungus starts on the lower branches and slowly kills the plant, starting with the bottommost leaves and progressing to the top. By the time it gets real bad ( toward the end of flower ) it looks like a mass of dead and dieing leaves. No cure that I know of, maybe someone else has a cure for it. My experience is that once you recognize it for what it is, it's too late to do much if anything about it.
Prevention in the early stages of growth is the only cure. Even if your plants look happy and healthy, treat them anyway with a good fungicide on a regular basis ( I treat mine once a week regardless of what they look like ).

I think that if it is the aforementioned fungus, you can check by cutting into a stem or two and see if you have black, grey , or dead areas in the stem. That's what I noticed on mine anyways. It gets inside the plant and works outward.
