brown spots and curling

Help ,
I have a few 4 week old plants deep water system 5 gal buckets and a few (6) in one 20 gal .I clean each bucket with disinfectant .They looked great using 1/2 strength. I'm using GH Flora Micro and Bloom with Advanced B52 and some Mag Cal.My last nute change I used alittle less than the chart said.I leave my Tap water out for 2 days.I'm using LEDs and clf.The strain is crystal rain hybred. My ph is around 5.8-6.2 by color chart not by meter.My res water is alittle warm but I put frozen water bottles in each bucket to keep temp down a bit. My ppm is around 698.but I'm not sure if my meter is correct.They are very bushy but I'm getting brown spots on some leaves curling and drying , mostly on the bottom leaves and not on all plants.The new growth looks nice and they are into the 4th or 5th leaf growth.I was going to start topping but need to fix this issue..Please help!

Based on that info, your ppms might be a bit too high for DWC -- I would keep them at around 400 at 4 weeks to eliminate burn. Also, your ph seems high -- and that might be locking out some nutrients. Keep it around 5.6-5.8. If you do these to things you'll reduce the possibilities of this being burn or deficiency.
