my plant is eating itself?

the middle of my plants leaves are dying and the top leaves are rolling up. this is my purple urkle plant which gets the exact same treatment as my other 2 power kush plants who are alive and strong. heres all my specs
5x5 grow tent
3 gallon bags in happy frog soil from hydro shop
flora nova nutrients at 7ml per gallon (6.5PH)
watered every other day
every other water gets nutes
temp in the tent is 77 degrees
2 fans blowing air all around
600w HPS
here is a picture of the plant with circled areas of the problem. my lower leaves are unaffected but its slowly moving downward on the plant effecting everything. i just started flowering 2 weeks ago and just started the floranova bloom nutrient. was using the grow nutrient for the entire veg till i slowly transitioned to bloom over 1-1/2 weeks. i just flushed it with 9 gallons of fresh water today because i got scared and figured it wouldnt hurt anything

forgot to mention there are NO bugs in my tent. i have checked every leaf for 3 days and cant find anything
 
That is kind of a weird problem, the top leaves are curling under but just the top ones, it makes me think it might be getting too close to the light.
Looks like you topped it once or twice, the middle leaves grew really big like it was getting plenty of water , then maybe got overwatered. its nice and green, but its weird, some of the smaller leaves look eaten up too (snail or slugs?), watch out for overfertilizing with the happy frog soil, you might just flush it with water for a while. If you aren't measuring the humidity, make sure to spray some water in the air at least with a spray bottle sometime, try something, see if it gets worse or not. when I get those dry, clawed leaves I just chop the leaves in half , they never seem to get better but if you take care of it, the new growth should be ok
 
i always spray with a spray bottle. every 4 hours or so i would say. i dont think its overfertilized because ive used this soil forever and never had a problem. like i said, i flushed it so im going to hope for the best. the leaves are huge and love life. its a minimum of 3 feet from the light. theres no possible chance its getting burnt from the light. i guess i need to play the waiting game
 
I dont think its the spraying but stop anyway,also no good flipping them while they have this major problem. Its a root system issue ,rootbound ,root rot,diseased ,overwatering im not sure bro. Check the rootball.
 
went ahead and put it into a 5 gallon bag today from the old 3. looked a little root bound but not the worse ive ever seen by far. i hope the added 2 gallons will benefit it. i saw NO root rot and came to a final conclusion that it was root bound because a mother plant i have which is 5 feet tall in a 5 gallon bucket is starting to do the same thing and i can see roots beginning to come from the holes in the bottom of the bag. i hope this fixes my plant! flushed it too so we will see in a few days if this help. anybody who also has an idea, PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINION. this is clearly a very odd situation
 
update: never figured out the problem, the plant turned out to be male and i ditched it so we may never learn what happened
 
How was the ventilation setup.
A constant turbulent air flow can sometimes cause leaves to do funny stuf.
