Over Watering?

hey guys attached are some photos of a couple plants that have some damage to the leaves does this look like over watering to you? if so thank god! because i know i have been watering way too much so i have stopped and am waiting until they are good and dry and then im gonna soak them until the water drips out the bottom and then not water them again until they are dry again. i have also been on a 24/7 cycle and thanks to some advice i have switched to 18/6 cycle.
I have also found some white crystals on the leaves not sure if this has to do with ph but i did another test today and its looking about 5 to 5 1/2.

It doesn't look bad to me, usually when the leaves are up like \o/ they seem very happy to me. I see a little crispness on the ends of the bottom leaves, but nothing to worry about. Maybe it needs a little potassium? What kind of soil, and have you given it any nutrients yet?

Thats great! but only some have thier leaves up like that since i stopped watering them and dropped the temp. my grow medium is a mix of organic compost and premium potting mix. i realized after i had transplanted them that compost wasnt ussualy the best thing to use and the ph was quite high so i added the premium and some sulphur.

Doing fine bro! Can i ask one question though? Why is your PH so low? In soil it should be 6-7 but really you wanna be keeping that at 6.5! Locking out maaaany elements at 5-5.5! Give it a try

Hey deejay, i want the ph to be at that level as i have read in many different books that for indoor growing this is the optimal level. were as outdoor grows should be looking at 6 to 7. they say that 5.5 to 6 is perfect and i was really happy to achieve it but i will say that the outer soil further away from the roots is very alkaline at a level of around 7 to 9 i have added sulphur and am waiting for the effects but since i have done that there may be a good chance my soil will get below 5.5 and i may need to help it out with some lime or some other faster methods. so are u saying that the plants look healthy? even with the brown spots and stuff?

thankks man
