 random purple bagseed grow

seeds came from these two buds
right now we're on day 11 of 12/12 everything is organic. (guano, worm castings, organic nutes that were locally made for this purpose  ) 400 watt hps for flowering. had a 400 watt mh for veg. this is our first grow and its fucking exciting to say the least.
here's how things are looking (yesterday, to be exact)
-- if you look at the plants from the top ... the one in the front right was "FIM"'d and the one in the back right has been super cropped twice. the two plants on the left havn't been touched at all. the front right plant is HUGE easily crowing out the other plants in terms of diameter, but the one we super cropped is the tallest and is looking quite nice as well. the lady in the back left has had problems her whole life but is somehow still alive! could't get rid of her.
and a question for all of you.. some of the bigger and older fan leaves are looking like this at the tip.. the picture is actually of one of the only smaller leaves that is showing the same spots

Other than the slight deficiency, your plants look great. As far as that problem goes, were going to need a bit more information.
What are the temperatures is your cab?
What is the Ph of your tap water and runoff after watering?
What is in the organic tea you are using?
Do you know its NPK ratio?
What kind of soil are you using? What size containers are they in?
How long did they veg?
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say either K or Mg deficiency but Without some more info, I can't be certain.

Quick questions: How long did veg for and did you veg at 24/0 or 18/6?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm at day 14 of 12/12 but your plants look much more mature than mine.

What are the temperatures is your cab? honestly have no clue.. with the hps it never gets very hot and at night during the 12 hours of darkness and cant imagine it gets too cold because we sleep near the grow space.
What is the Ph of your tap water and runoff after watering? once again, no clue on the ph. 
What is in the organic tea you are using? we're using distilled water and some organic acids along with a bloom fert that are both made locally.
Do you know its NPK ratio? nope
What kind of soil are you using? 1 part organic soil (with no ferts in it), 2 parts perlite, 2 parts black peat, 1 part bat guano, 2 part worm castings (all appx.)
What size containers are they in? 3.5 or 4 gallon round plant pots
How long did they veg? 9 weeks
so yeah, based on your questions i realized that we're not monitoring things very closely but this is the first grow and that can be improved over time  any ideas?

24 hours of light for 9 weeks from seed.

I suspect that Ph is causing the problem you are having so monitoring Ph would be a good idea. A cheap ph test kit (get litmus type strips or drop test style kit) goes for about 10$ and is invaluable when diagnosing these sorts of problems. Again a decent digital thermometer with a memory costs about 20$ at home depot. These small ticket items like Ph tests, thermometers, and a jewelers loop are great things to have as they are cheap and entirely necessary.

out of the 4 pots the ph ranges from 6-7, never going above or below, so i dont think thats the problem. my girl tested for NPK today with a soil kit we purchased and the potash of all the babys was basically NIL or trace amounts... so we got an organic fert thats npk is 0-0-1 to feed them some K.
some good news - a wonderful friend of ours gave us a BEAUTIFUL OG Kush clone.. just one, but its beautiful looking. we'll post pics soon

also, one more question -
during our 12 hours of darkness it is definitely 12 hours of dark, but there isn't much in the way of fresh air coming into the closet. is that a problem during the dark cycle? do we need fresh air running into the closet at all times? makes sense

so the clone i received had just been cut and wasn't rooted yet. needless to say, my noviceness (ha) killed it. or is killing it. gotta read up on "rooting clones"
good news is that more og kush clones will be on the way every other week
i'm gonna set up a proper environment for the cuttings before i get the next one(s). any ideas?

so we took the kush clone out of her soil and cut it again, splitting the stalk down the middle and filing off the skin around the bottom. it worked! alive again.
