I've got something new to me going on in the last 3 days. Leaves went from normal to this. I feel like I've seen this somewhere. But I'm not finding it. Guys, let me know if you've seen this please.20180705_002307.jpg

Of course we have seen it.
More importantly you want to know why it happened.

We have no idea until you tells us the DETAILS of the grow.

My suggestion is be thorough as it will save precious time.

Good luck

The more info the better light water feeding type schedules amounts, let's fix this we want to give you the best advice for your application

Thanks for the responses.
Ok, here goes.

Enviroment:
72-76 *F, 60% hum
30" x 18" seedling/cutting tent
4 bulb 2' t-5 6500k, 6"-8" above canopy
4" desk fan for circulation
4" duct pulling negative pressure
Dr. Earth organic potting soil
1 gal grow bag

Nutes:
Water - charcoal filtered tap water, 120ppm (mostly cal/mag), 6.6 - 7.0 pH, 70-75 *F
Add General Organics cal/mag to bring up to 250-300 PM
General Organics nutrient line, I use their schedule, rotating feed/water/feed... when the pots dry out
When I feed I also rotate the bio thrive every other time with Alaskan fish emulsion
I also supplement silica once every 2 or 3 weeks
And about a week ago I gave her a foliar mist with 1/4 strength (1/4 tsp/gal) molasses mix for a little mag boost

Plant:
6 wk from seed with mainline type training
Bagseed - found a bean in a zip of gg4. Decided if it popped, I'd grow it
Started it under new led I wanted to try out for seedlings while in a solo cup. Very poor, slow growth, so I transplanted to 1 gal and moved under the t5. Growth picked right up.
It does have a few gnats, its an organic soil grow. I keep them under control with lots of sticky traps (almost free on wishdotcom)

I've been running this set up for quite a few sets of bulbs, lol, and I've never seen anything like this with my girls. Also didnt see anything like it on deficiency/excess charts or in any of the 17 different "grow bibles" I keep around for probems.
I hope this gives the info needed.
Thank you

So it sounds like you have used this system of yours prior with good results.
But I see you are adding more than enough cal, mag then even foliar feeding for a boost? I wouldn't think that is needed.

Anyway I will get to the point
The liquid nutrients have organic acids
And over time can cause problems in the root zone.

You have been adding a lot of stuff to a 1 gallon grow bag of organic soil for 5 weeks give or take.

My recommendation would be to at least try flushing one of the bags

I started bumping up the mag due to the purple on the tops of stems and leaves getting light between the veins. I just have this one plant with this problem. I will run about 3 gals of r.o. water through it today and see if it continues. Thank you for your help!

You sure that you didn't burn them with your foliar application?
I was thinking this too. I seem to have what presents as a mag problem, so I was working on that. But if bumping up the cal/mag to 300ppm isnt fixing it, theres probably something else going on. I thought I would bypass the roots and give them a quick boost while I figured it out. It looks like it is only effecting the leaves I sprayed. I'm going to flush the roots today anyway with r.o. water, I'll give her leaves a rinse too. Thanks for helping!
