I've been PH at 6.2

Roots have good airflow? No rot or mold or anything? Also, I had a similar problem in the beginning, I was using the nute schedule as according to the instructions that came with my nutrients, and it was causing nutrient burn. I ended up having to cut the nutrients down to a quarter of what the instructions were telling me to give in order to fix it, now they’re all doing great.
And make sure your ph meter is calibrated properly, some of them things are super inaccurate. I had one that was telling me my ph was 6.4, I decided to calibrate it again, and it was really 5.8.... I couldn’t figure out for weeks why my plants looked so sickly. If it gets below 6 or above 6.8 (I think) there are certain nutes that won’t be absorbed.

Is it top or bottom leaves or all?? They could be getting light burn or they could have some kind of pest infestation too.

Yea, it can be a nightmare trying to figure it out. I’d suggest try cutting the nutes in half and maybe raise the ph a tiny bit just in case. Also good airflow is important as well as letting your soil dry out before re watering. Since it’s a mixture of all the leaves, its probably not a light or heat issue. There’s gotta be something blocking out your nutes, kinda looks like it could be phosphorus deficiency. Are the stems changing color at all?

I wouldn't say so stems always been like a redish colour but I'm using purple punch seeds so I think it's normal for that strain

Well, in most cases, if it’s not lighting issues, pests, or mold, it’s gotta be a nutrient lockout which can be caused by so many different things. Or it could be nute burn. Try flushing and then starting over with half the nutes. Also, you could always try repotting them. What type of pots are you using? I use fabric pots and when I water and/or nute them I pour it straight into the tray that they’re sitting in to allow the plant to just soak up what it needs so I don’t risk over watering, and I usually leave the tray dry for a day in between waterings (it’s super easy to over water.)
If I were you tho, I’d just flush no matter what, and I’d repot.. won’t hurt and could fix the lockout.
