Default Brown Leaves

Hi, I'm new to growing and can't find any images of what my tomato leaves look like. I am growing in 70/20/10 coco/vermiculite/perlite and feeding daily with general hydroponics 3 part flora series. I did just recently add subculture M as well. We have had several days of rain and very strong winds and the plants were not protected. Don't know if this could be wind damage or what? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Think I've narrowed it down to a Calcium/Magnesium deficiency.

I'd guess it's from the wind. Last year we had a cold spell after I had planted. I don't remember if we had wind also, but some of the leaves had something very similar soon after. In my case I think it was frost damage. It was definitely an environmental cause. New growth was fine.

Mine look identical! 1st pic I've run across that looks exactly the same. Thanks for the help!

I started a thread in the fall which I just updated, would you mind looking at the pictures and see if that's what yours looked like?

Saw this thread earlier before I posted mine. Yours look similar to mine, but they seem to have more of an indention in them where mine are just bronzed looking on the surface. Hard to say, but I do know mine did this after the wind and rain we had the last few days. So what the other poster said make sense. Have to wait and see I guess.
