Hi fellow growers, any idea on what's happening to this plants? All three pictures are different plants and it is spreading super fast. One plant in tent doesn't show any of the symptoms. I already flushed them and gave them a light nutrient solution with PH 6,2

yee black doesn't look good, bacterial or fungal, most likely from a medium retaining too much moisture over a period of time for the environment it finds itself. Careful with flushing too to reset ph or lower ec as you will leech nitrogen, particularly in its nitrate form (NO3-), leaches into water when excess water moves through the soil. Other forms of nitrogen, such as ammonium (NH4+), generally do not leach as readily because they are attached to the soil particles and resist movement with water. If ammonium exceeds over 20% of total Nitrogen you are headed for trouble. Never trusted those fabric pots tbh, I always found them to be way less airy, than I need them to be, moisture would sit too long. Not sure there is a solution to fix it. In future look to prevent the conditions from ever arising in future, airpots helped, good advice would be to learn as much as you can with regard to transpiration, respiration, perspiration, evaporation and evapotranspiration. By creating a cycle that ensure there is little to no moisture left on a daily basis is key to preventing bacteria of fungi the opportunity to multiply. Bacteria and fungus are like fire they have all they need to grow except time. Never give them time to even have a chance to stagnate in the medium. Temperatures above 78f bacteria multiplies like 10x rate. Plants looked bloody amazing too, sucks! Hope she recovers.

potassium deficiency. make sure you're using dechlornated water. make sure you wash your coco with a cal mag solution and make sure you keep up on calmag when using coco. it could be a ph issue or it could be that your plant is starving for potassium at this stage since its flowering now and will need more potassium and phosphorus

Yes, looks fungal. Removing infected leaves may be your only option. Lowering your ambient humidity should be a prority. Nothing to do with pH or "acid build up in your soil".

Hey there looks like a ph issue I’d check the ph of your run off water there could be a build up of acid in the soil

Looks fungal to me, probably septoria or something similar. The way it’s spreading fast but only on some plants kinda gives it away. Deficiencies usually don’t move like that. You did the right thing flushing, but I’d focus now on airflow, lowering humidity, and removing the worst leaves so it doesn’t spread further. I wouldn’t use neem in flower, can leave residue and mess with taste. Safer options would be potassium bicarbonate spray, or even a light milk/water mix, both are pretty harmless and can slow surface fungi. If it’s not too far gone, cleaning them up and keeping conditions dry should get you through the run without major damage. Keep an eye on the healthy one too just in case.
