Need more info, what’s your grow media? Got any pics? Auto flower or photoperiod? How old are the plants?

Hi James, and welcome to the forum. 
It could be several things, over watering being the most common problem. You say your pH is 6.1-6.8... that is the normal pH range for soil, but not the exact pH that you adjust your incoming fluids to... please give us that number. If you are following the FF feeding chart for nutrient mixes and strength at this week of the grow, the nutrient mix is probably fine.
So tell us about your methods... what pH is the liquid as it hits the soil? How often are you watering, and how much are you giving when you do? Lastly... a few pictures of the plant showing the damage would help with the diagnosis

I am not a nute guy, I’ll leave that to Emilya and others with experience 
but...1200w HPS in a 3x3 is severe overkill...you may be experiencing bad light burn. Can you give us pictures of you girls?

How often do you water and when you do water, how much water is used? Also...how much nutrients and how often are they fed?

the questions about the frequency of your watering and how much you give are still on the table. If your last indicated that you always pH your incoming fluids to 6.5, that could be part of the problem and I would suggest 6.3 pH would be better in that soil.... but still, I think your main problem has to do with overwatering.

Dont think it was the nutes themselves....but simply coincided as effects from watering habits. But for now answer those questions above and let Emilya the Weed Whisperer get you sorted.
Whats your water source? Are you adjusting ph? Before or after mixing nutes? Please give her all the details of your watering regime, how often, how much, She can probably do this in her sleep by feeling of plant leaves, every new grower needs this watering tech..... I know I did.

Take that pot and tilt it to a 45 degree angle, leave it propped that way for 2 to 4 hours, see how much water she pees out in that time. This will drain PART of the perched water table that is being held in suspension by the soil. Don’t worry there’s still more water in there, plenty in fact. After you set her back up straight after draining for 2 to 4 hours the perched water table will slowly reset itself to a more normal level. Don’t water again... not a single drop for 6 to 7 days minimum.
my 2 cents - please consider all other opinions

Hey James welcome to the forum
And, you're in FFOF, with the FF nutrients
there's no need to adjust your PH...the FFOF does it for you...
I use FFOF also...go ahead and ask me if I PH anything
I'm gona go with Emilya, you're over watering...wait till that pot feels like it's empty before you water again...
