Looks like "hot" soil to me. Miracle Grow soil is not ideal for cannabis in my experience. Is there any time release fertilizer in the soil?
Your plants exhibit signs of nute burn in my opinion, despite the fact that you have not yet fed them (aside from what's in the soil). Also, do not give cannabis molasses. If you provide it with the proper nutrients, light, temperature, humidity, air circulation, etc. etc., it will make it's own carbohydrates. What you are doing is asking for an infestation.
Why are you misting (foliar feeding) once per day? Are you doing this with the lights on? It is possible that this is what's burning your plant. I foliar feed my vegging plants once every two weeks, and some do not do so at all. If you are going to mist them, make sure the lights are off for the night and be brief. You want to grow a large root system and allow that to draw water/nutrients into the plant. Make sense?
If it's not burnt from water, it's the soil based on what I see/you have told me. If that's the case, try and locate some less "hot" soil and transplant. How often/much are you watering these?

OK, 5 gall containers..I water as needed...approx every 3-4 days...it has to be the foliar misting ( just water)... this is something I have recently started, and yes, with the lights on as per I run 24/0.

Also, I should DC the molasses? Temp, Ph, ventilation, air circulation are all on par.

I would quit using molasses, and also change your light schedule to 20/4 max, or 18/6. Plants NEED dark time. Also, make sure your temps are dropping about 15 degrees F from peak daytime temp to low night time temp, if you can manage it. So, if the temps are usually 78, 63-65f at night would be a good goal.
Also: I have PERSONAL experience growing in soil. I have used molasses and I have not. When I did, I ended up with a fungus gnat problem and great buds. When I didn't, I just had great buds. Remember, if you are growing it right, it will make it's own carbs.

Got ya...no molasses, and lower the AC at night...does this explain the black tios...also, I may be paranoid, or just dumb, but is it me, or does the growth ( 2nd photo) look like balls? Idk...

And give it some dark time. 4-6 hours per day. You will really notice a difference. I can't tell what I am seeing there...Did you FIM or top the plant?

I'm sorry, I did, just not on that growth...we have had some nasty t storms lately, and power went out for about 5 hours the other day...almost a week ago...would that cause malevolent effects on the lady?

See if you can take some more pics of the area in question. I can't be sure what I am seeing.
Oh and 6.8 ph is ok, but it's at the very top of the acceptable scale. I like 6.3-6.5 personally, I am boarder-line OCD so...

As far as molasses, its not for the plant...directly...its more for the microbes in soil...to my understanding.
