It looks to me like you are using cfl lighting and the light is not penetrating the lower foliage and add that into the fact that most plants usually die off towards the end like rinny said and there is your problem, no problem. heh
The tips of your leaves do look like the beginnings of nute burn but if it does not go further than that I would not go flushing like a mad man. Just use a little bit less the next feeding, not much less just a little. My guess is you saw the defecienceies and stepped up the nutes and they just burnt a little. I have burnt my plants much worse and they still finished just fine. heh
