I would say you have some sort of boron deficiency that you need to get under control. May be other things as well though. Let the gods chime in.
I wouldn't worry too much though, we'll get it solved!

What nutrients are you using? Maybe just not be getting all the essentials it needs.

Hmm,
My humidity is very high. In the 60s to 70s. I just bought a dehumidifier for this reason. And i water often enough. Could this still be a Boron deficiency?

I am using aquaflakes a and b, calmag, big budand hydroplex depending on time, humbolt snow storm ultra. And i just picked up great white and silica - have only used great white once so far.

I dont believe high humidity would cause the browning of the edges and dying off of leaves. Usually super dry, arid air will fuck your plants up.
Do you give your plants nutrients?

look deeper into your nutrients and see if you're giving your plant enough of the essentials. Looks like it's not getting enough.

Just my opinion take it or not
That looks like nuteburn to me
Random burns, shiny leathery rubbery leaves (classic burn symptoms)
And some curling going on the under canopy fans (concaving) due to the leave trying to cut transpiration down, hence curling away from the light source (less leaf surface) facing direct light.
Are your temps high also?

theres some nute burn and some variegation. The variegation may be a virus? I have one and its passing it onto clones so it aint nutes.

Make sure you don't have mites, I guess they can give you glossy leaves and give burn like spots.

I would agree this looks like nute burn, mayb too much nitrogen, at this stage it needs a much lower level, could try a flush with some unsulphured molasses and ur microbes to help it break down the extra for a couple days

I'm going to ease up on my nutrients.
I'm hoping it isnt mites but i havent been able to locate any on the leaves.

I figured it out guys.
At first i freaked out and bought a bunch of bug sprays. Sprayed the shit out of my plants.
Then i thought about it for awhile and remembered i had just changed the water from being ph 8 (my sink) to 6.5 because i just bought some stupid strips. This is probably what freaked them out and caused the burning. I dropped the ph over 1 degree.
Now i have pulled off the bad leaves, mostly, and watered with my original ph.
The new growth is looking better.
Any tips on adjusting this ph now that i am in week 5ish of flower?

I resprayed the plant with water to wash off some of the bug spray too before the lights came on last night. Plant seems to be okay but some of my hairs are all fucked up now.
Oh well.
This is as much a learning process as anything.

Could lover ur ph rather quickly using a 50:50 mix of leftover cold coffee and water

8 ph out of the tap is rare, wtrips should be accurate but could be user error. With 8 ph I dont think theyd ever be that healthy/ the plant has a minor nute burn which would never be caused by ph 6 water.

If anything the ph adjusted water allowed your plant to use all the locked up nutes that are soaked into your soil. The plant cant uptake nutes properly at ph 8 so they just keep building up in your medium, ph adjust it and bam- the plants can eat so they pig out.
Exactly what happen with me, my PH was ranging around 5.2-5.6, TDS was 5000 PPM or there about, I adjusted PH to 6.2 TDS dropped to roughly 2700 ppm and plants have nutes burn, today I have another flush and will increase PH to 6.5, I believe TDS will have dropped seriously after they consumed as much nutes, anyway I won't be feeding for the coming week to two. But your comment sort of confirmed what was going through my head, I wasn't reading PH up until recently so obviously I've been feeding and the plants weren't consuming it and it piled up, after adjusting PH boom they started consuming the saturated nutes.
