Time for a check in and some help!

Whats going on everybody its been a few weeks since ive been buggin you with a million questions That's because my babies started to do incredible! I fixed the PH problem with an RO filter even though it fills up so damn slowly!!! I also wasn't paying attention to how low my humidy was my first month of growing, it was at 25%!! I just recently bought a humidifier and its up to about 40% on average throughout the day. I go into flowering in a few days I seriously can not wait, of course I will be putting them in 36 hours of darkness before switching to flower! Okay now for the question section lol! The leaves on my plants have slowly started getting these yellowy (with a little brown) spots on them like they are drying out/getting burned but I got the humidity up and my mh bulb is more than 2 feet from the top of the plants and of course im still running 18-6. It started with a few leaves and every couple days it seems like theres a few more, its mostly the bottomer leaves but some in the middle and top. Im hoping its not some kind of bug like(Spider mytes) eating my plant that would be terrible!! Here are some pictures I really hope you guys can help!!

They didn't get anything slashed on them but a few ago I started spraying the plants with a water bottle of non filtered water I realized a couple days ago it could have been that extra bit of shit in my water fuckin with the leaves so started spraying them with the filtered water

Try not to have wet leaves with the lights on, the droplets act like little magnifying glasses.

Anything still appearing?

i think your prob is nute related. not moisture related.
dont do 36 hrs before you flip em. you'll lose more leaves. just flip em.
you dont have mites either.
 
Everything is still the same, mostly the bottom and some of the middle leaves are 'crispy' theyv browned/yellowed and appear dried out, ive been told that I can jus cut and leaves that seem to be dying and it wont affect my plant at all? And do you think im not adding enough nutes or too much? I added 6ml per gallon of floragro 3ml of florabloom and 1.5ml of floramicro my last rez change for veg. And Why should I not put them in the dark period isn't that how they know its time to flower?

They know its flower time by the change in the amount of light their getting. I've never heard of giving them 36 hr's of darkness before. It just seems like a way to stress the plant more than just the flip and a wasted 36 hours of growth. I could be wrong though?

ditto....totally agree...never heard of this 36 hour darkness before....makes no sense to me
 
Okay so ill just go right into 12 darkness 12 light and switch from mh to hps bulb? Iv been told to start adding cal/mag with the ro water, what are your guys thoughts on this? Also should I cut the leaves that are browning/dying?

i found over a couple years that cannabis really likes less fertilizer than what everyone told me to use. i only grew in soil. i suspect you overdid it. but just by a little. so thats one stress. now you want to deny the plants light for 36 hrs. thats a stress too. you will lose more leaves. please dont do it. also just let the dieing leaves fall off on their own. they still contribute until they fall off. fan leaves are expensive for the plant to produce.
the plants know its time to flower through a series of chemical changes that occur when they receive less light. but 12 hrs is enough. any more and the plant acclimates to what you give it. and i fear you may lose as mush as a third of your leaf canopy if you give it 36 hrs. its a falicy. dont believe it. otherwise your plants looked good to me....so cut back on your nutes a little and grow them girls out. you should get some nice dank. good luck. pm me if you need anything.
