If this were your plant, what would you be doing to it right now? Leaving it alone? Trimming fan leaves? Are those brown spots a concern (they are only on a few leaves)?

Nice grow. I'm seeing a calcium/magnesium deficiency caused by light burn. I would back your lights off a lot 6 inches is too close. This looks like an older issue are these leaves on the lower parts of the plant? I would be more concerned about the newest growth closest to your lights right now. If you look at your photos the leaves are showing signs of stress. The leaf blades are trying to fold up or are canoe shaped they are doing this to conserve moisture. I would go by your light manufacturers recommended light distances If the leaves lay down and stand out straight in a few days I would gradually lower your light a few inches at a time. You can also add some Cal/Mag into your nutrient regime these micro nutrients help your plants deal with light stress better. When those damaged leaves look really bad I would start trimming them off especially if they are on the lower 1/3 of the plant. Hope this helps brother.👍

Yes any deficiency is a concern and need to address immediately. U can go to growweedeasy.com they have a plant diagnosis with pics and solutions. After I solved problem then I would strip all big fan leaves not the top. Completely lollipop everything where u have them and may go a bit further up. Give 3 days send her into flower.

Yes those brown spots are not normal and means you have something going wrong. To me could be nutrient burn or ph burn as the burning are not visible from the lower to the upper leaves which would have been the signs of a mobile elements deficiency ( like nitrogen , phosphorus or potassium) , if it's not a nutrient excess or a ph fluctuation ( 6.5 is a bit high to me but I am a 5.8 ph grower so that must be what makes me think that ) , I personally think that your ph and Ec values are late flowering values but you should still use the mid flowering values ( your plants aren't about to finish flowering , to me they are barely starting ). If I were you I would have low my nutrient input , low my ph to 6.0 , I would have trim the fan leaves that are under the canopy a d ate not receiving enough light to transform it into energy for the plant , If I were you I would have start asking myself "why these white widow aren't making bugs after 4 weeks of flowering" , If I were you I would definitely have found a way to have a higher temps during daytime than during night time ( I still don't understand how is it possible for you ? Are you using a big house heater during night time ? That kind of temps differences is unnatural and to me it can stress the plant ). That said if it isn't a mobile nutrient def or excess it could be an immobile nutrients def or excess and as I am sure that you are smart enough to find it by yourself I am providing you a link to a def/excess chart in the comment section
