Too little info to even hazard a guess. Sure looks sick tho.

Maybe read up about how to grow.

I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS . I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.

:peace:

I’ve grown for years just never experienced this before. It’s in clay pebbles

Sure looks like pH related issues where the pH has been swinging wildly. Perhaps you've got root problems in your clay pebbles? What is your watering scheme? How do you mix your fertilizers?

jayme,
Your water quality is important. Need to know the PPM. Usually it's calcium compounds that raise the res ph...so hard water may be your problem. Plus I see a Mg deficiency as well. How you treat that depends on your water.

I live in a very hard water area. I just hope I can save it
Hard water is the bane of growers everywhere. I only use RO or distilled water with a little CalMag to compensate. Can be all sorts of other minerals in tap water like high sodium, manganese, iron etc.

Also how are you testing pH? Pen? Sure it's calibrated? Drops are always a good backup to get you in the area you need.
