Yellow Brown spots on leaves, leaves curl inward, hydro setup

[the_shadow]

My second grow with the same setup. First grow went fine, but this time I'm growing 6 plants instead of 4. My question is, am I over feeding or underfeeding? I give the hydro setup a quarter cap of 7% nutes every couple weeks. I change the water completely at the same time. The leaves have small yellow spots that turn brown and then the leave curls inward\upward like a claw. Any ideas?

It sounds like Calcium deficiency, but I can't be certain with no pics .
What is your water source?
Pictures will help a LOT.

I don't know what hydro 3-1 is so can't comment on your nutes.....but your ph is too high....for hydro it should be lower....between 5.6-6.2. I would also lose the MV lighting...inefficient and hot.
