Can someone diagnose my leaf problem?

Can somebody please help me find out what this it? these babies have been in my system for almost 2 weeks. My first batch did the same thing and eventually died! I want to save these little girls! I have them under 400watt MH, I feed them organic iguana juice, the ph is between 5.5 and 6, room temp is around 85, my misters are on 24/7 and the lights are on a 16/8 schedule. I thinks its gotta be a nutrient lockout of some kind, but troubleshooting its a pain! I need some serious help! PLEASE sorry pic is kinda weak, but you get the idea....

it looks like a mix of maybe over water, ph swing and lockout, try flushing for 24 hrs, switch misters to 15 on 45 off keep ph steady and keep it at 5.8 at all times, then feed again half strength just veg nutes, dont give it anything special, its still to young

keep the ph at 6.5. and get a full range nutrient.. what is your EC? you need full range micro and macro npk and micro nutes and at a low ppm.. looks like they need nutes or the water is too acidic?? just my opinion

also your light cycle should be 18/6.. if you want them locked in a vegitative state

You have a pretty heavy build up on the hydroton how young are they? They should be on a 1/4 to 1/3 nute feed. what nutes are you using?

sorry forgot to confirm that ph swings can cause seriouse lockouts that looks like nute burn or nitrogen def or iron def lets get some better pics as in multiple far,close that sort a thing.

all though organics are supposed to be okay to give a full dose i would say cut them back a little and slowly stabelize your ph to 6.0 just keep it their and you won't have ph probs. All grows are different.bongsmilie

i believe its nutrient lockout due to high res temps. also dont organics call for a slightly higher ph to not kill the beasties? ive let my plants take a .5 upward drift starting at 5.5 to allow a fuller range of nutes available before i drop it back down. whats ur nutrient strength by the way? ppm/ec

Do I need a different nutrient for veg? Or will my iguana juice grow work if I cut the dose down? Im growing blindly, my meter took a dive on me~ so until I can afford another one, i think its gonna be nothin but problems. I might add, my roots havent grown at all in the last week. Usually the roots free fall into my reservoir, but this time around, its like their growth has been stunted major!

I am just experimenting but my plant is about 2 feet tall, it looked really healthy but now the leaves have brownish/yellow spots and are wilting!!! Help I dont want to lose it. It is just in regular soil with a little fertilizer and outside in regular air, regular light.

Thank you :confused:

theres many probs going on here, ur best bet is to buy GH 3 part nutes that way u can use it for veg and flower, and you NEED.. YES NEED!! your PH to be correct or you'll have probs..also what the N-P-K of the nutes ur useing?

3-3-3 Organic Iguana juice Grow. Do you know of any place where I can get an affordable meter for the Ph?
