I noticed the problem today, its only the lowest level of leaves that have a very dark discoloration. i have tried a self diagnosis and from my sources it may be a P def. IDK though i really wanted to ask someone who KNOWS.
And if it is a deficiency should i just add more of the nutrient which will have the certain mineral i need

i am in the same boat; mine have developed yellow/black bumble-bee like stripes on the leaves, the black being necrotic splotches on my oldest leaves first.
I am flushing, changing the solution & making a lighter nutrient mix. I think mine are from nutrient lock out (high ec)

OK, thanks for the response
I forgot to state that my nutrient level was pretty low and about %40 -50 of the roots were hanging in the air, so maybe this had something dodo with it,
i topped off the reservoir with premixed nutrient, should i have added just tap water because it was about 2 gallons low? because i heard that just the water evaporates and not the nute

i would venture to say that eventually the plant sucks up more water than the nutrient itself, which is why high concentrations are unnecessary---... I just flushed/changed tubs myself, we'll see how this goes!
