so you are reusing soil until you get into your dwc? I appreciate the clarification. Just to understand where you are at.

lol im to cheap to order clay balls, so i use soil in its place never had a problem doing it this way, but i didnt flush the soil from a past grow that im using now, which is theory 1 it still had ferts in it which is causing the problem, theory 2 the well water around here which has a lot of bleach and such in it is causing it but anyhow its only 1 that has the problem real bad the other 2 which have some spots they are fine so far and im tryin everything to fix the problem and i also hooked the dwc up so hopefully that helps a little bit ill change the water again friday when i move everything to the empty room and get shit set up ill update pics and all that then

I bet once you get the dwc running for a day or two they will bounce back to full speed. I am almost certain it has to do with your soil. It could be a K or Ca def due to its what the plants need a lot of in the end of flower. Especially K. Might wanna put down some plastic in the bottom of the closet if you haven't already. With my luck I would spring a leak..lol..
Good work I like the new setup. Nothing like being put on your toes at the whim of a plant.

are you using h2o2 in your nute mix? I can't remember what you are feeding them...forgetful at times..

havent really gave them any nutes besides 1/2 teaspoon of big bloom/bloosom builder to see if that helps with the problem

hydrogen peroxide may help clean up the roots looking rough...but if you are trying organics that won't work because the h2o2 kills all the good bacteria/fungi that you worked hard to promote.

thats all i can do is one thing at a time
haha the knowledge one learns, i found instead of going out buying lime i already have the main things needed
agricultural lime = garden lime = calcium carbonate (Tums) or Chalk
so i crushed up a tums to where its powder and mixed it in with some bloom booster (K) 1/2 tea spoon and started foliar feeding

it may take them a little while to recover...I have a hard time waiting. In this case I think you should give em some time to get acclimated to the new system.
the new growth looks healthy. are they actively growing? as in leaves getting bigger?

i hate waiting it drives me crazy lol
the other 2 have the same stuff going on but nowhere near as bad as the middle

patience in the garden is probably the hardest thing for me. I'm in soil too so its even that much slower...I know the feeling. I'm in the wait game with one of mine, just doesn't seem to be taking off...
