looks like PH burn. are you hand watering? do you check your ph before every watering, because it does change each day. are you using ro water or tap?

We need more info, whats your ph?" whats your tds? what is your canopy temp? what is your rh? what soil or brand? Do you feed and feed and feed? What brand of nutes at what dosage are you mixing? Ro water tap water if tap whats your ppm? How long have they been vegging? size of pot?
Go to the infirmary and look at stitchs's guideline answer all those questions, then I am sure someone would be able to give you the help your looking for.

Crinkled new shoots, dark green leaves, necrotic spots on the leaf margins, all this looks like a calcium deficiency ....

how would the PH level cause discoloration to the leafs?

a high PH would burn the leaves. The pics he is showing look like burn spots. But yeah, id go with giving us some more info so maybe we can know if something else is the cause.

Different chemicals are available a different amounts to the plant at different ph levels. If the ph is out of whack the plant could be absorbing too much of one chemical and too little of another or vice versa causing different changes in the leaf color and structure.
what are your PH test strips telln ya ??? heres a few questions for us to better helps ya
soil or hydro
if soil what type
ferts used what type, how much n how often
lighting
temps
water used r/o or tap
r/o {reverse osmosis} will have a low PH value
if chem ferts are used the PH valeu drops even farther, organic liquid ferts dont bother the PH value in my experince. you will need to raise your waters PH value
city tap water if this is used dose your city sanitize your drinking water w/cloriene ??. if so allow the water to sit min 12-24 hrs before use in open containers. cloriene will evaporate in this time period
cloriene in city water being used on cannibis in containers is toxic, it kills all the good benificials in the rootzone. they break down the ferts being used for the plants uptake, hurt them the plant gets hurt.
if your in soil like i am i find the waters PH value with and with out ferts used @6.5 to be just peachy. the plant will be abel to uptake all available nutrients in the rootzone. in soil go below 6.5 or above 6.8 you'll experince simular problems.
also with hid lighting if leaves are wet when lights come on or are on you'll experince sim problems of leaves burning. water magnifies the hid lighting causing burns on the wet leaves.
i test the water in the jugs PH before feeding plants i've never worried about runoff PH. my gallery and grow logs speak volumes i honestly havent used a ph meter in 3 yrs. i know what my waters ph is and what the ferts do i use
if its plain water
i'll pour water into a booze shot glass and test the water from each 1 gal container i have.
rinse out glass before each new test !!!
if its a feeding w/ferts i add desired ferts and dossages let sit for 5-10 min's shake well then pour into shot glass and test
for soil if PH is below 6.0 you'll want to add ph up
if it's above 6.8 add ph down
you'll need to experiment to find out how much
yes most soils say ph ballanced 5.5-6.5 but after 2 wks of watering the buffers in the soil normally get washed out
i highly suggest for soil a ph of 6.5 in the water being used with and w/out ferts

Great post maj.Pothead. I appreciate the input. I really like your posts here.
How much runoff do you personally like to see out of the bottom of the potwhen watering/feeding? About 20%? or perhaps more?

all picks from today.
Fuck you snow berry bring your bullshit somewhere else asshole
Looks like your ph is on. what is your canopy temp? and what nutrients are you using?
