Your PH is all twacked out, and they appear to be burnt. It's probably locked up, so I'd flush and skip a cycle. Make sure your ph is right. Focus on getting that PH right first before you worry about feeding again.

Also looks very much like it could be Russets!!
Russets give the appearance of a nutrient deficiency, then you get that curving up of the leaf edges.
Get yourself a 60+ mag lense and scope the underside of a couple curved up leaves really well.. if you see torpedo shaped tiny little fuckers you have work ahead of you!!
If you do.
Looks like you could get a good spray or two, or three in.. spray the shit out of the underside
Of the leaves, pretty much anything that kills spider mites will kill Russets.. but you HAVE to be very thorough in your spraying.
A week before you have to stop spraying order predator mites ( Californicus and/or Andersoni)
Put you sachets out 2-3 days after the last spraying.
They are hard to kill off but you can do it if you do a good job. From the looks of your buds.. they've advanced pretty far on some of them.
Good luck.. hope that helps.

thanx guys I have drip system and I do feed with different nutes that my buddy grabs I have a few regular spider mites (on healthy girls) but they die off soon as it cools off every year but I will dry the girls out and buy a ph meter it's outside so I thought ph wouldn't get thrown off some plants barely hurting and some had to be pulled :(

A decent PH meter will run about $150. Then it'll need cleaner and storage solution. The testing method is a sample of dirt covered with water. The PH meter is then stuck in the water. All for about $200.

The poor man way to check the soil PH is to dig a small hole in the ground. Fill it with water and check the PH of the standing water. The other is the exact same procedure dealing with a meter. Taking a soil sample and covering it with water. Checking the PH of the water after 15-20mins.

You got russets, I can easily see them on the base your fan leaves. Look into grandevo and predator mites. need to make sure whatever you spray is getting 100% COVERAGE on your plant, helps to use a backpack fogger if you can afford it.
