Can anybody tell me what is going on here? This is my first grow and one of my plants seems to have some sort of deficiency. I think its a P deficiency but am not sure what do at this point. It has started on the bottom leaves first and begins with brown spots on the tips of the leaves moving inwards. They then start yellowing, necrosis, leaves curling up. I have attached a few pics.

I recently upped my nutes from 600ppm to 750 and then 900ppm over a 24 hour period to see if that would make a difference. Im not sure if those leaves are even salvageable at this point. Any input would be appreciated.
