So I have those black spots on leaves on top of the canopy of my plants. Can someone please explain what are those and how can I treat it? Also the edges of the leaves on top of the canopy are brown and crispy.

The burnt tips are a nutrition/pH issue. The black blotches could be a fungal problem due to poor air exchange/high humidity.

How's the quality?
How would you rate the quality of these plants? The dark brown leaves have me self conscious of the roots situation. DIY supersoil mix recipe here: https://pastebin.com/pbxMZysq I've added more dolomite & guano as topdressing and fed liquid calmag and potassium during flowering.

Should I cut these off ?
leaves are no longer crispy and dry but are still rapidly changing colour, not sure if I should cut them off or let them fall off themselves ? if I cut them off would it be beneficial ? not sure if the plants still putting in energy to keep these leaves on the plant or not ?

Brown spots
brown spots began to appear, could this be due to watering with PH 6.0, maybe too little and calcium is not absorbed? PH of water with each watering 6.0

Bruising or nute problem?
I do not have enough characters here, please check diary for details. Some tops are showing some problems. The thing is, only a few and it does not seem related to light distance. My first thoughts is this is bruising, but I would like some more expert opinions.
