Probably Fe (iron) deff. And/or Maybe Zn.

On both cases, high ph often is the cause. Correct ph to solve the problem.

For fastest recovery, you can give a foliar aplication with a micro's solution, or an "greenery supplement" that usually are mostly Fe. Seaweed extracts often works well too.

doubt that its heat/light stress. the lights 8inches away and its like 75F at the top of canopy.
 
8 inches away IMO is too close.unless its like a t-5 or some type of flo

So Is It a air cooled tube? or hood?
does this problem only affect the bottom of the plant or just the top?
What is your run off PPM?

allso 470ppm seems really low did i read that right?

Sir.S.S.

Air cooled hood
Just the top, it has stopped on new growth.
PPM in rez right now is 750 @.7

I've ran the same hood at about 3 inches away on same strain and they don't bleach.
