Sick Plant. Need help. 1st Grow

I have been scrolling this thread for along time now. Some of you guys offer some really good advice, so kudos to you. Unfortunately, I decided to overcomplicate things and may have screwed my first grow. Well at least 2 of my 6 plants. I have run into some, possibly major, problems during the flowering stage and dont know if i should cull at least 1 of these plants. First a little about my setup

2.4x1.2x2.0 tent
2x6 inch RVK intake and outake fans
6x purple haze auto
2x dual spectrum 600W
Medium=40% coco coir, 40% biobizz light mix, 20% perlite (Dont berate me for mixing. This is possibly the root of my problems at the moment. I know better for next time)
Biobizz Bloom
Biobizz Biogrow
CalMag
I have the temps (23-25 centigrade) and RH (40%) on lock

So now, herein lies my problem. Started off incredibly well for the first 7.5-8 weeks. Good foliage, slight nute burn but only on the tips (didnt we all do this as first time growers), overwatering was never a problem. No training, just let my babies shoot up to the sky. At around the end of week 8, two of my plants leaves started to turn yellow which i thought was normal as they were all flowering. It was only when they all turned yellow that I knew I had a problem. Then one of the plants leaves started to display black blotches on the leaves. Considering they only have possible 2 weeks max left till harvest, I wanted to get any advice on what to now do with these 2. I flushed them both a week ago but to no avail. Theyve become worse with one becoming considerably worse.They are still producing trichromes and the pistills are just starting to change colour. Im leaning towards a pH problem, nitrogen deficiency and phosphorous deficiency., but im posting to get your guys views on it. Thanks for reading.

Looks like nitrogen being pulled a bit more quickly then you wanted. Have you checked trichromes to see if maybe they are ready for harvest?
 
Yes. They have only just started to turn brown. Most of the pisitills are still white or milky. Someone suggested flushing and chopping. Or should I wait? I just fed her...

Have you checked your runoff ph or ec? I think you may find that your runoff ph may be considerably lower than whats going in. Or your runoff ec is considerably higher. Or both.
Check you runoff before anything else. I think even using ph'd water for a flush you my be quite surprised by the readings.
Take it easy. Good luck
