Slightly yellowing and crispy brown spots.

I know it's not the pH, they both read just about 6. They are always right next to each other, so it would be wierd if it were temperature. I give them the some nutes and honestly I don't give them much at all.

arethey both same strain? differnet seeds same strain? both still show signs of a nute problem? id suggest some training too... first we need to figure out the prob. can we get some more detailed leaf pics? from both plants bro...

Hmmm. Since they are different strains thats why you have somewhat of a difference in symptoms. In the more sick plant i see maybe zinc or phosphorous deficiency.

how have you been watering lately? amount of nutes, kind of nutes, how often.

The healthier one looks like zinc or excess nutes. did it progress from tips towards the stems?

I gave them about a half gallon of my faucet water with no nutes when I re potted them. I got nervous about the quality of that water so I switched to watering them with 32 oz of distilled water probably about once a week. I haven't given them any nutes since repotting (about a month ago) because I thought they might be overnuted because of the new soil. But they are used to getting FloraNova grow once every two weeks and some cal/mag about once a month.

Also, I could be mistaken, but I think it progressed from the stem. Well it was getting yellow from the stem and that stopped entirely. Now this brown/red is progressing from the tips.

Sounds like phosphorous deficiency. Especially if it's working from the tips, -and your not over feeding. Is it mostly on lower growth?

Edit: what's the NPK on that nova? Gen.hydroponics right?

Yeah sounds like phosphorous for sure. Your not flowering yet right? You gotta get your ph on point and I just realized a few

posts back you mentioned low temps in the 50~ range. Plants have a hard time absorbing Phosphorous at those temps. You gotta try and up those temps and get ph around 6-6.5.

I bought a pH meter and the soil is just a pinch above six. I got a second heater in there now and it's in the mid sixties now. It is general hydroponics and it's 7-4-10. I also have some FloraNova Bloom (4-8-7) that I've been holding on to until I flower them, but maybe I should give them a dose of that to help out with the phosphate?

If you got temps under control, and ph just slightly above 6 yeah try and work in some P small doses at first to see how she reacts. Do the plant that's worse off and see if she takes well to it. Then it's a waiting game. Let us know man, maybe someone else will chime in and agree/disagree and we can get you back on track.
