Which nutrient deficiency is this?

Does anyone know what kind of nutrient problem is this? The only thing I can say is: It is an immobile nutrient since it's appearing only on top leaves, and my fertilizers do not contain: Iron, Sulfur and Calcium. The PH of the watering is always between 6 and 7. Thanks

To me this looks like an excess of phosphorus locking out other nutrients such as calcium/magnesium. What is the total NPK value of the nutrient line in the ratios that you are using? If P is significantly higher than a typical 3-1-4 ratio then I would consider flushing 3-4x the medium with PH'd water and feed a modified schedule closer to the 3-1-4.

Could be a light toxicity. I notice your lights are very close. Try raising them up and see if it makes a difference.

I believe that is a phosphorus deficiency in combination with a Potassium deficiency. Phosphorus is really useful when the plants are in their early stages because it helps with development of the grow tip
