The problem is that the tips of the leaves are starting to yellow and brown. I also notice this happening along the sides of some of the leaves too. One of the leaves pictured actually has a hole in it. It looks like a piece of it was just cut out with scissors and flipped up. I don't see any bugs around. I am only using FloraNova and have not added anything other than ph down solution. I am about to flush the tray out with regular water and change the rez out for a cleaner one.




I was gone for 8 days and you can see how much nutrient solution was lost in those 8 days here.
