sharp soil - very dark leave plus slightly burnt tip & edges. I would just give that pHed water, but pics of the whole plant and esp. the new growth/shoots would be helpful

When it comes to diagnosing, if the lower leaves are affected first, then it could be some imbalanced mobile nutrient N, P, K, Mg, Zn. If the new growth is affected first, then it could be some imbalanced immobile nutrient.
Echoing Kassiopeija. Balance your pH first.
The damage is permanent, but you know your problem is solved when the markings don't spread to any other leaves.

Look like they need some calmag.

this wrinkled newgrowth with these bright tips that you see coming out the tops at around half your plants could be an indicator that the soil is indeed too sharp or that the pH is out of whack, and caused a nutrient imbalance. What kind of soil is this, with what do you water or fertilize?
The ones in the solocups look more healthy - are they sitting in the same medium?
I u
I use foxfarm soil only..and I haven't been giving the middle plants any nutes in a week just ph'd water
Speaking of CalMag - I do the fox farms nutriwnts with every other feeding as suggested, but on the non nutrient days shod I be suplimenting my pdh'd water with CalMag??

Hm, the plants "tell me" that some time ago, that they stayed in nutrient depleted soil,, OR that had a Ph issue that had some blocking going on.
They (once transplanted to bigger pots) now show that they are happy but, for the 2 on the right asking for more Mg... I suggest a Ca?Mg product and suggest G&H's CALi MAGic for what they use in it..
They are also saying, "It's time to start feeding me."
The new growth looks fine. Structure is good. I would use the Mg on all of them....Like I said - start feeding.
Doing fine other wise.

Calcium is likely the most over used micro nutrient. There should be plenty in the soil's you use.
Sometimes not but, if your swinging your Ph solutions way out from 6.5
You'r likely to get a Ph issue over time. It can start blocking specific nutrients....
So then. One of the reasons I suggest G&H CALi- MAGic, is that the Ca compound used is Ca carbonate. This works more to help balance Ph in soils over Ca nitrate and other forms of Ca. It still supply's plant available Ca in safe amounts and doesn't over do the Ca.
I might suggest something like a once every two weeks use. If you have real issues with Mg and have plenty of Ca.
8.5 TBL of Epsom salts
1.5 tsp of DARK brown sugar
1 Gallon of RO
Apply at 10 ml per gallon of feed.
ALWAYS STOP it's use at week 4 - 5 in bloom - NO later.
