Problem: Not really sure how to describe. The leaf looks sort of crumpled and discolored and it feels kind of "crispy" in spots. Two possibilities in my mind: water spilled on the leaf and the light baked the leaf a bit, or the fan I have blowing the plant around may be too strong in that spot. No actual clue though.

Medium/grow method: 2-gallon hempy bucket with 3:1 perlite/vermiculite mix.

Feed & supplements used: (per gallon)
Maxibloom = 7 grams
Armor Si = .5ml
CalMag = 1ml
Mammoth P = .6ml

Plant gets 3 cups to a quart every morning at lights-on (runs from 11a-3a) and there's always a bit of runoff. I mix the nutes a gallon at a time and hand-water 2 cups at a time til I see runoff.

Water source: De-chlorinated tap PH'd to about 6 after nutes mixed up.

Strain/age: Barney's Farm Auto Critical Kush - 30 days old

light used: Mars Hydro 300w on 16/8 (lights on from 11am-3am). Top of bucket is about 22" from the light.

Climate: RH ranges from 31-45% Temps between 70-82°

Additional info: Nothing comes to mind!

Could you elaborate why you think so? I've been watering to run-off since the beginning and she's been absolutely thriving so far. Drinking more in the past week, in fact. And it's just that one leaf that has the issue. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it doesn't seem like overwatering to me. In fact, one of the reasons I went with the Hempy system was because it's very, very hard to overwater the plants...

My apologies. First off...I could be wrong.
My first thought before seeing the picture...2 gallon pot...1 quart of water, every day with runoff. That doesn't sound right. I'm not familiar with hemp buckets but 2 gallon, any bucket should hold at least 2 quarts, I would think.

I'm In the picture, the leaves look bubbly, like holding to much water. Which to me, confirms my suspicions of overwatering.

No worries! I didn't take it as rude. :thumbsup:

But yeah, Hempy Bucket is a style of hydroponics. There's a hole in the bucket about 2" from the bottom, which create a reservoir. Water daily, and it saturates the growing medium and just kind of "tops up" the reservoir once the roots reach it. So in theory, it'd have to be getting a lot more water than I'm currently giving it.

I'm a dirt guy, but I'll chime in to get more info.
First of all, can you post a picture in natural light? Under grow lights it's almost impossible to see what's going on. And is it just the one leaf? Maybe include a full plant picture :thumbsup:
We'll get you squared away. :pighug:
 
Point taken about the grow light. Here's some natural light pics. Two leaves are actually affected - I knew this from the start, but the marks on the second one were very slight, so I figured it wasn't an issue. Looking at them now, I'm really wondering if it's not light burn. I didn't have a ruler handy, but I'm pretty good at estimating and I'd say the top of the plant is only about 14-16" from the light at this point.

The pics:
