plant dying. large brown stains appearing on leaves. plants are two weeks old under a 1000w hps. no idea about PH as my meter has not arrived yet. plants are in rockwool/hydroton in a DWC bucket.
Hi growmie dont panic it don't seem so severe, just check your pH and EC maybe you are a little bit off in those, I would use low EC around 300ppm on that stage and try to get pH at 6
Your temperature to humidity range is important in all stages of growth. here's a little chart that's explains things better then I can. I like to use.

1000w can run hot and create a low humidity range in the room so check that values and correct them if the humidity is too low r if the lamp is not to close.
I would also have cheked the bottom of the basket to see if the roots are hitting the water as the clay balls seems a bit dry to me.
Last thing is the ph as you've already checked but in that kind of situations you need to check every days even couples times a day
If your ph is 6.2 should be fine. I’m a soil grower so that’s in a Comfortable range for me. I believe hydroponic set ups operate on a slightly lower ph. 6.2 maybe a bit high for soiless. Not sure though
Had the same thing happening early in my growth and I concluded it was a calcium deficiency. I used some cal mag with regular PhD water and they did fine. Didn’t show up on any new growth. I specifically used “MagNifiCal” from remo nutrients
