pictures 2,3, and 5 look like nutrient burn.
picture 4 has me doubting that, though.

every noob suggests magnesium def like it was lupus.

I was thinking burn also but im not a hydro guy I do know however that as your plant drink the ppms go up as water evaporates and is consumed if less nutes are consumed than water the concentration becomes higher. is your ppm measurment from when the res was fresh or is it current?

That's. When ifirst changed the res. But I checked again to make sure and it was at 300 ppm......that's really not that bad for these size plants....I'm really stumped.....cause its only on 1 leaf on 2 different plants.....any other ideas?

how white are your roots? they should be snow white. if not it could be an aeration issue not enough oxygen in the water.

little more info about my setup is 250 mh light right now dwc system 3 air pumps and 3 airstones in a 10 gallon res. water level is at about 7 gallons but i lowered it today to about 6 gallons because i noticed that the air stones were misting so far up on the netpots that my rockwool is kinda wet (wet from the top)...any more info just ask any help would be awesome! I will post some pictures of the plant a little later tonight for everyone to see what they look like today!

I just compared your pics to some pics in Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible and it looks like a Phosphorus problem. I cant be positive, or tell you if you are too high or low, but it does look just like the pics he published. You also mentioned that your rock wool was staying wet......this is a possible problem. Your PH sounds right but your PPM's are a little low for me---different tokes for differnt folks--. Hope this helps...I wish I had more for you....good luck!

You are on the right track. Keep fixing problems that are evident. Maybe back your light up a bit and make sure you have good air flow over your plants. From yesterdays pictures, the new growth looks fine. I don't think you are in dire trouble. Looking forward to seeing today's pictures.

when the leaf gets over loaded with nutes that is what happens it causes the leaf to burn,and lockout!!
 
My plants have suffered with that look,the leaf tips are very were pointed (narrowed tips)
and white,it was nutrient burn in my case,i was using a dripper system with a 140l resevoir,as the plants used water more than nutrient the concentration got high after a few days.
