whats happening to my plant?

can anybody help me? i have a few plants growing in a small closet in a bubbler setup. they've been vegging for about 5 weeks now and i'm going to put them into flowering today. i was in the process of putting a clean bubbler reservoir in when i noticed on my biggest and healthiest plant that some of the leaves were burnt and yellow, and one had brown spots around the tips of the leaves. due to the small space of my closet, its hard for me to see the rear portion of my plants. i had been assuming that everything was fine because the part of the plant that i can see looks beautiful. i don't think its becase of the light being too close because the top of the plant looks fine, these leaves are more in the middle. im using dyna gro and dyna bloom ferts, and using them at the lowest recommended strength. the one thing that i found that looks wrong was the ph level. i tested it and it was way low. would these leaf symptoms be a result of that? another thing thats weird is that i have all three plants growing in a rubbermaid container, and the other 2 plants look pretty healthy. one of them has a couple yellow leaves on it, but i figured this was because its basically the runt of the litter and was getting shaded by the big plant. does anybody have any ideas of what is wrong with my plant? does this sound like a pH problem? thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

It does sound like a ph problem with the one with yellow leaves. The spots on the other hand I don't know what may be causeing them. There are any number of thing that can do that, but you are not always going to have perfect plants. They just don't come that way. If the rest of the plant is healthy I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as it doesn't start to spread.

Look on the underside of your leaves with magnifying glass of at least x10 power. You may see lil fuckers sucking the life juice from your plant. I hope this is not the case, but it would be cool to catch them early. Good luck.

In small spaces like that be very sure you have adequate ventilation and try to keep the plants from touching the sides of the closet.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm attempting to grow in about 2 sqft of space.

Plant leaves often just die of old age after a couple months or so, usually nothing
to worry about. Now that you've adjusted pH everything should be fine, and never
underestimate those little creepy crawlers that just love to munch on healthy
plants. They often show up out of the blue and can wreak havoc if not controlled
quickly. Safers insecticidal soap works well.

yeah, i've stopped putting pH down in my water whatsoever, and the plants are doing much better. i'm guessing that there's some kind of pH buffer in my nutes, although the jug doesn't say anything about it. its dyna-bloom right now. one plant turned out to be male, but the others are females and lookin lovely now.
