Dry brittle leaves
Discoloured older leaves curling up at the edges and turning dry and brittle. I think my problem is over or under watering. I've been very careful to avoid overwatering so I'm leaning towards the latter but what I've read online suggests dry/brittle means overwatering. Thoughts?

Leaf damage/discolouration
The yellowing is from an earlier issue but now I'm noticing brown spots and the leaves curling up, some getting crispy-ish. I recently lowered the lights a few inches, knowing I was pushing the safe limits. Is this from the lights or is more likely a nutrient/pH imbalance?

Damaged leaves
I have a problem with one of the plants, the leaves are damaged and some of them had to be removed, the plant is growing too slow. I thought it is related to Cal/Mag but I've been adding it for a while since week 2 and the problem is not corrected

Over the past week my plants have taken a turn for the worse. Many leaves went from yellowing to browning to completely crispy! Other leaves have brown spots on them and some of the stems are purple.

Brown Patches on Older Leaves
Slight yellowing and brown mottled patches. Only on one of the two plants and they’ve been treated and fed exactly the same. On some older fan leaves, no signs of anything on new growth. Anything to worry about at this stage? Maybe just a sensitive pheno? Any advice appreciated.
