Lower leaves curling/ turning brown

My plant is experiencing a problem. The bottom set of leaves begin to curl downwards slightly around the edges. There is a very light yellowing between the veins but it only extends about a 1/8" into the leaf. The edge that curls feels brittle and turns a brown shade in spots. They begin to wilt more so I remove them, as soon as I remove them the next set of leaves begins having the same problem.

I've looked into several things and the only problems that popped out to me were possible PH level problem, or over feeding. I do have slight burns at the tips of some of the other leaves but they are minor. I'm also concered that it could be temperature fluctuation between day and night in my room but not sure if that would cause this effect, or maybe its only the spots on the leaves not recieving enough light that are effected.

The other plant I have doesn't have discoleration but some of the leaves are twisting slightly
Any suggestions?:leaf:

IMHO,..If the leaves are curling down, and you have burnt tips it means that you most likely gave the plant too much food. By removing the leaves, you probably put the young lady in shock. Only water that girl when the soil feels dry, and the container is very light. Hold off on the nutes for a while unless the plant looks pale, then its just the opposite,..it needs a lil food. Best of luck :)

Im on a tight budget right now, ive grown before but im at a new place so im sorta stuck with what ive got. I had thermometers a better light system but they got borrowed without my permission now theyre missing.
Im using a grow lux light i forget the wattage, I dont have ph testers yet. The soil is a basic growing soil medium density, next grow I hope to switch it to a better indoor soil. It gets watered whenever it needs it, usually when the lights first come on every 1-2 days. Im using a mix of 3 different ferts I switch off, which I usually feed once a week if that. I think at first I was mixing the solution too strong but i've cut way back.
She's about 2' now and I just switched them to bud last wed. I'll lay off the nutes and try flushing it out again and see if that helps.

If the damage gets worse should I remove them, I usually wait until they look pretty sick. would I be better off just letting them die and fall off on their own?

let them fall off if anything happens they will just stop eating nutes and slowly fall off causing little to no stress..

if you chop it off that stress's the plant alot
