Does it look like this?
If it does, then yes, I believe it is Phosphorus.
I have this same problem.
Mine is due to extended cold, I had a week of 38-44 degree nights, and that's when it started.
That was last week, and now almost all my leaves that got affected like that are drying and falling off, even though I have been bringing inside at night.
I watered once with plain water last week, then again with a little more than I usually use of the 0-15-11 ferts that I use, along with the normal 1 tsp/ gal. of molasses that I use.
I have new leaves developing now, so I'm not real worried about it, but still, I am going to lose almost all my fan leaves I think.

From your context box when posting a thread, either scroll down below, and click manage attachments and upload your pics from host like Photobucket, or directly from your computer. When you're done, you can click the 'insert line' box down in the bottom right of that picture box, then close it.
When your preview of message comes up, if you double click the pic you want, another box will open, allowing you to center the pic, and second line has option to change size.
**NOTE** there is no option to rotate pics, so you need to do that before uploading.

First, you could tell us how old the plants are, if you're feeding, and what, soil, PH like 4lomo asked, which could be affecting your nutes also.
More details / info=better chance of accurate / correct suggestions.

Plants are a little over a month old. Transplanted about a week ago. Planted in fox farm light warrior. Transplanted into ocean forest. The first time I watered her when i transplanted her my hotwater heater went out and the water was cold(didn't have any in jugs sitting out.) I used a little fox farm grow big nutes when i first saw the dark spots.
I got home yesterday and got some room temp water and some nutes and watered her again. I haven't been back to see her yet. I deleted the pic out of my phone so ill take another when i get home.

Unless your water was cold cold, that wouldn't do it I don't think, any pics yet?
Water was pretty cold. Had to work two jobs yesterday lights were off when I got home.they look like the pic someone posted on the first page but worse. Leaf is dark purple or black and drying up but the stem is fine. Whole plant is affected. I'll try to pist a pic today. Sorry about the wait

Ya, that was my plant, got Phosphorus lockout due to the cold when I left it out.
You can expect a LITTLE color to come back, but not much, and most of the affected leaves will end up falling off.

You can try running some water through it (3-4x what you would normally water), but I think that;s a gonner.
Have you figured out what your PH is yet?
You might have water with PH so high you are lockedout.

I don't have anything to check ph. Been real busy lately trying to catch up on bills. I'm pissed off about her. She was doing so good then one morning she had spots and the next day she looked like the pic. Guess ill have to order more seeds : ( lol I'm real hurt that was my favorite one

To come on that sudden, there had to be something drastically different that happened one day.
I transplanted her and watered her with cold water and after that this started
