Need expert advice

I guess I never really paid attention I have been doing a gallon at a time, the run is probably not true run and come out near the handle on the pot, I just noticed another thing too this morning I have been testing ph before mixing and after I mixed with nutrients it was even lower around 5.1

Yea you have been dumping ph that's way to low in your pot so that's one issue to fix. Do a slurry test and check your soil ph. Probably have ph lockout at this point. Water in your feed at like .3 higher or lower than you want your ph to be to try to get it to start adjusting. Also what do u mean water comes out by the handle of the pot. It's not making it thru the dirt? More reason for ph to be off, soil full of salts. You probably wanna feed till you see a whole gallon of water come back out that pot just this one time. And in the future try to get at least ⅕ to ⅓ of what you put in back out in run off. Will really help with left over nutrients getting out and ph regulation

The learning and research will never really stop. At least not for me it hasn’t. Not all advice is good advice. There are really really good growers on here. If you stick around to learn you will see who they are. I won’t name names as it would start a keyboard war. ( wich can be comical to watch when you stumble upon it )

I would bet my last dollar you let it get really dry once and now the water just races past dry pockets or can't penetrate at all. Water long and slow right at the stalk, break up top inch of soil with your fingers.

Will do I just have them a soaking of the century I was weird about overwatering someone told me they looked over watered when I first posted a pic on Reddit and maybe I got to nervous about overwatering
 
Last I was worried I screwed and it was fungus even though I tried to keep ideal conditions perhaps humidity a bit low sometimes around 37 but lately as it warms up 40-52

My humidity in the summer between 49 and 65 most days, air flow is all you need. Stay under 65 most days and you should be fine.

I combatted dry pockets by using a shish-kabob skewer and making holes to bottom of the pot. Breaks them dry pockets up.
 
My guess is its 2 separate issues. The spots are from splattering water and or nutrient on plant, the edges on leaves burning is from the light. 800 something watts isn't much for 9 plants however they are young plants that may be too much too soon. This plant had light intensity issues looks like your leaves edges. Light could be too close for amount of wattage used and plant age. Personally I'll run 50% until flower. It doesn't take much to veg especially if you have a quality light with good canopy penetration.
