could this be a lack of oxegen to the resivour/roots as i noticed loads of roots in resivour when i changed the water.
i did have a air stone in it at the begining of this grow but the pump was to noisy for my liking so i stopped using it.
if your nutrient in your nft tank is splashing back into the tank, then lack of oxygen shouldn't be a problem, though more is always better, so the airstone (or maybe one quieter like an air ring) is definately worth having in there as well
but i reckon your problem isn't that but overfeeding at some point, which in turn has caused a nutrient lock out
had the same thing myself recently - often!
i think you should rinse through for a couple of days with plain water, then put a very mild feed in, 1.0EC or thereabouts, ph as said before around 5.8
the leaves won't get better that look bad, but you should still get some smokable weed at the end, tho it may take a touch longer
have a look at owderbs grow diaries and others similar in the grow diary section to see how it should be done for future reference, you won't go wrong
try to take it easy on the ph up/down as well. you shouldn't really have to use ph up, if i need to go up i use fresh water generally (mines ec 0.5 ph 7.4 from the tap)
good luck
