Too many nutes or not enough

Too many nutes or not enough
I’m growing in Ocean Forest, 8 weeks in, and I thought it would have been long enough to add in some nutes. When I did I got clawing on both plants. The next watering was just water. Runoff was about 750 ppm. Now plants are looking like this. Still a bit of clawing, but also the leaves are looking rough. Diagnosis doc?

750 isn’t hot. I did a stint on the Growcast Discord and they used to say that if the spots are spreading from the veins then it could be a fungal issue, originating in the root zone. You’re not overwatering are you? Do you have any biological additives, like recharge? Also, what’s your soil pH?
-
Sounds likely.
I did overwater a few weeks ago. I use recharge occasionally. I didn’t check runoff PH last watering, but I’m watering with 6.4.

Let them dry out, then add Recharge and/or LABs in your next watering. Beneficial microbes can help but it’s not a silver bullet. Try not to let them sit in drenched media if you can help it.

Will do. Thanks

This is root related. Anything from physical damage to pH stress will cause this type of issue.
-
I don’t think there’s been physical damage to the roots. It has been extra hot the past several days. 83 degrees in the tent when it’s usually 78 max.
-
Physical damage includes damage caused by rot or drowning.
-
Well, that may be the case then.

Could be zink iron deficiency I’m not to sure by the picture so many variations

Update: The Sweet Tooth has pepped back up and is improving. I’m waiting longer between waters. The White Widow on the other hand hasn’t really got going. It’s not discolored anymore, but it’s droopy and stunted.
