Here are some pictures. I do not think it is the heat, the light is almost 20'' from the plants. I feel confident it is some sort of deficiency. The edges discolored, a few brown areas around the tips. The leaves are pointing straight and I had to cut off a few completely yellow leaves. No clue what is going on, these gals have been near perfect since day one. Maybe they have the clap?

Yeah, sorry. My buddy used a bin to block the light the best he could. I will try to get some without the lights, might take me a day or two. When I opened the pictures they seemed pretty good. Do you have any initial guess or response? Thanks!

looks like a potassium def. to me .. are there any red veins running in or around effected areas and do the stems feel any softer ? w/o seeing more detail it looks like potassium to me .. burnt tips , yellowing , necrotic patches ect.

Just wanted to note: The plants are taking considerably less water, way below normal levels for the last few waterings. I just waited 4 days without watering to let them "dry up" a bit and they still took barely anything; not sure if this is a part of the problem.

Your nutes are good that you are you are using try adding bout 6 drops of vinegar to your distilled water and it was lower your ph to 6.7 lil better for the soil and you should maybe try feeding nutes every other watering too keep them used to it and if you want to gain some thicker longer buds try to raise your temp to an average cool 80~82 degrees it and leave a bowl of water out to make a the humidity increase slighty you will notice some good results fan leaves fall off as the plan grows taller as long as your crown leaves are not turning colors or dieing you are ok
