looks like part of it isn't getting any light, it is growing too big for the space. You should probably flower it unless you can move the lights up or something.

Add trace minerals copper zinc deficiency it looks like with a bit of a need of nitrogen. If you havent been adding N then it's not nitrogen toxicity salt.

What are your nutrients? Fulvex is good for trace minerals if you can get Cal mag to help the purple stems and Fulvex by botanicare use it with your regular nutrient once twice a week use regular water and your fine.

Nice pix.
They don't look too bad overall.
Maybe some heat stress going on?
Why is the fan pointing towards the wall?

79 is a little high
I grow with cfl's myself and have a 9" fan blowing from the top of the room down on the plants.
Those top leafs just seem to be heat stressed.

74-76 is best.
Hot air does rise and goes out the top.
Getting it to do so is the trick and it all depends on how hot the air coming into the room is.
A good exhaust fan and carbon filter are best. (neither of which I have)

I'm sure someone else will chime in here with some better ideas.

Ill try to drop temp°
i dont have a carbin filter either
i do have a inline duct fan tho
its for my hps cooltube
i have a duct leading air out of top now but with small 4 1/2 in desk fan
if i cant get temps lower will it be a major effect in plant
i live in desert
and ill start feeding next watering

Hey Dank, if your growing in fox farm you shouldn't need any nutes at all this early.. Personally I would give her good flush with lots of run off and then let her dry out just to the point of wilt before you water again (They like to be watered this way).
your temp at 79 isn't bad but fans are good..! When in soil sometimes a nice staygreen foliar spray is all they need. Later in flower you can boost her but your problem looks like Nute burn not lack of.. Good water habits help keep the natural balance in the soil.

Shes been in fox farms soil for 6 1/2 weeks with no added nutrients.they can still get nute burn with out added nutes?
If so i should give a super flush and wat how long u think...
i want to keep her this height till i flip light cycle
or decide to keep her as a mother for clones
