Anyone know whats wrong with this plant?

I couldn't get the picture to turn up correctly, but you can still see the leaves.
There are no bugs.
I did have a spider mite problem, but they are gone.
I started a mother/clone tent, and have a infirmary on the other side of my house.
Once the clones are ready I have a greenhouse out back for full cycle growing.
I used diatomaceous earth mixed with water a month ago.
I have a batch of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Photosynthesis mite spray I use lightly once a month.
2 weeks ago I added Mills nutes to the water using A,B, and R.
After I read about just keeping mothers on water I emptied out the nutes and have been on water only for a week.
The tent is set at 76°, 55% humid, 18/6 light, 2 x 4' LED 6000K and 2 x 65000K cfl.
Have a fan blowing when the lights are on.
The tent is in a spare bedroom, I only go in to water.

I have been monitoring all the plants, they are separated by several inches in case anything happens to one it wont infect them all.
All the other plants are healthy.
I have 6 mothers, and several clones.
The clones are in week two and all are taking root.
The water I use if from a faucet mounted filter.
I use a 45x scope to inspect.
There is nothing crawling around anywhere.
I even have a 60x100 scope that shows clean.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Do you Ph you water?
Did you empty out the nutes by flushing the plant?
And how long ago did she start growing like that and did it start up from the top?

My first thought when I saw the picture was overfeeding, but you need more information on the water, ph, and how much you fed a week before this started happening.
It helps if you take notes and dates on feeding and stuff you do in the growroom in general.

Looks like a root problem, maybe they got poisoned a little too much. Maybe aphids eating ur roots.

Overwatering, dirt looks soggy, that leads to nutrient issues.
You may or may not be over feeding also, adding to the problem while trying to help them get better.

My short answer there is a lot wrong with that plant. My advice... Feed it veg food at normal strength and ph and see if it improves. N Idk how u can have water only moms (unless ur using an organically amended soil) plants need : light, food and water to survive.. Take away the food and they will die..
Now I'm just guessing because I don't know the environment the plant is in: temp, rh, type of light, distance to canopy, etc.. Etc.. But that generally I recommend with a plant showing so many issues to not chase the problem and just give it a good environment and steady feed and hope it improves

I agree with Mowood. It looks like there are a number of different problems. Whatever it is has been going on for a while too.

It looks like some of the damage could be from spraying the leaves. Unless I'm seeing the pic wrong, it looks like a shiny/glossy coating over the leaves. It's hard to tell for sure though.
Do you ever rinse them down with water after spraying with the mite spray?

What exactly is in that photosynthesis mite spray? I have never heard of it.

The leaves are too damaged to ever fully heal. You will never be able,to get all that damage to go away no matter what you do. All you can do is hope the new growth is healthy...

I would flush your medium real good with a PH balanced water with mild nutrient solution (1/4 strength or so). Then wait and see.
As far as feeding, you don't want plain water all the time. I would recommend something like Feed, water, water, water. Feed, water, water, water. And adjust as necessary, once you learn how the plant likes to feed.
Make sure you only water when your plant needs it too. How often do you water?

Also, post pictures earlier next time! It's way easier to solve a problem if you catch it right away.

One more thing - have you tested the runoff water (coming out the bottom of the pot)?

You should check the water's PH and PPM and report back.
