First ICM Post Ever - Looking for Help

Hey everyone,

First post ever here and hoping some of you may be able to help me out. I’m about 35 days into flower on a skunk cross (incredible bulk) and roughly two weeks ago I noticed the symptoms on leaves across my plant. Buds look good, but feels like growth has stalled a bit and I haven’t received any conclusive root cause from a different forum I’m on, and I’m nervous not knowing what the issue is. My immediate reaction/ guidance was to flush the RDWC system and then I backed my feed down to 1.6EC, but after a week of limited growth I just bumped it back up to 2.0EC today and I’m wondering if that’s a good or bad move since I don’t really know what the issue is.

While I appreciate all feedback, I’m really looking for some concrete guidance (hopefully from someone who’s seen this/ knows exactly what it is). This is my first DWC/LED grow and I’ve found some of my coco experience doesn’t exactly translate when it comes to issues/ resolution. Greatly appreciate any help, and thank you for your time.

-Single Plant RDWC
-Advanced LED XML 350 and 3x 100w Chilled Logic Pucks
-Day 35ish flower
-Botanicare PBP Bloom Base, CarboLoad, Hydroplex, ReCharge
-Water Temp 65F
-PH 5.8
-Air Temp 80F, RH 70%, CO2 1500PPM

Attached are pics of bud today, as well as some of the leaf issues I’ve been battling.

It has been years since I used Botanicare but I remember having very similar symptoms that were alleviated by reducing Hydroplex and increasing Ca++ inputs while also raising the pH slightly.
