First of, I'm growing in a hydroponic setup with 400 W light and the plants get around 40'000 lux, the pH level stays 6 and ppm is around 900, water temperature is 25 °C. For the past 3 days my two Speedy Chile plants have been developing these brownish/yellowy dots on the tips on the leaves and since i'm quite new to growing any help is appreciated!

doesn't look like calcium spots....maybe insect damage?
i am not a hydro expert, but that doesn't look like a nutrient issue to me.
i wouldn't worry about the dicot leaf yellowing, they're supposed to do that, but those spots look like some kind of pest damage to me.
i'd wait till you get some more opinions, but if the consensus seems to be pests, i'd recommend some spinosad, i like the capt. jack's dead bug brew, but any spinosad spray would work.
