They look healthy so the only thing I can come up with is your root system is having a difficult time supplying enough moisture to the entire plant. I was having similar issues when I started in larger pots, it seems to happen more often when the plants are younger and have under developed root systems. Mine fixed themselves as they matured and the root system developed..

over/under watering? how big is your pot, root bound?
the pots r 2 gallons i believe. i dont think theyre rootbound, they went in the pots like 3 weeks ago. ive been watering when the pots get light. i dont think its under/over watering cuz its only like 3 leaves on the whole plant that r affected

yes they look healthy, thats why im stumped haha. no real leaf discoloration
this may actually be the problem. i supercropped them two weeks ago on the main stems and some lower branches. the leaves affected are above that stem supercrop, so maybe the stem cant carry water through it to those leaves because theyre damaged. other leaves above the supercrop seem fine though.

maybe just give it some time then if it is otherwise healthy. A 2 gallon pot to me seems too small tho.

to me from the pic's it looks like its ethier over watering or Nute burn.... outdoor plants need to be watered less and fed ALOT less, a small over feeding outdoors can cause consequences like this.

and 2 gallon pots ARE a bit small, personaly i like 3.5 gallon pots so the roots have alot of time to expand.

oh, and have you been turning them on a regular basis? if soo look at the stem going up to the leaf it may be twisted, i've had plants do that before.

i have them in the 2gal pots for now, and i plan on putting them in 5gal lowes buckets later. probably towards flowering time, so i can put a flowering soil mix in the bottom.

thanks danny.
ok so yesterday my cousin came over, and i wanted to show him supercropping, so i did it to one of my smaller plants. well i ended up pinching too much and pretty much breaking it lol. but i taped her up and hopefully she will survive. anyways, i wake up this morning to check on them, and that clone is doing the same exact thing as the big ones r. so it seems to me that the supercropping damaged the 'veins' in the plant, and cant take water up to those leaves. its just wierd that its only happening to a few leaves on the big ones. hopefully theyll recover

oh yeah i foliar sprayed plain water on the clone

ive been using RO water, so the PPM is probably around 10 haha. and i have amendments in the soil so i dont need nutes. at least not yet
