Any ideas?

Not sure what is causing this issue. Hoping someone here has an idea!

God bud strain I forget the breeder but it's a reputable source.

5 plants ~4 weeks old.

Currently under 1000w COB-LED (the philzen brand)

Fox farm ocean forest with a little extra perlite

pH is higher than I'd like at the moment (slightly over 7). I water with ro water at roughly 6.5.

No nutes given yet

It kind of looks like something has been chewing on the leaves, as nutrient issues don't usually leave holes in the leaves until it is much more advanced. The only other thing I might mention is that you want to aim for 6.3pH in soil, so it *could* be a pH/nutrient issue, but I would be lookin' for bugs first.

Hey @dauntless welcome to 420magazine my friend.
How have you been deciding when to water her.
If your not letting that pot dry completely you will have problems.
Check this watering tutorial. The Proper Way To Water A Potted Plant
This will help your watering practices.
Do you have any nutrients available to you? I don't know where you are.

Looks a lot like red spider mite, particularly as it appears to be localised - don't faff about, cut off all affected leaves or at least spray the undersides of the plant with lightly soapy water or a neem oil solution
Judging by the colour of the leaves, you certainly don't need any additional nutes at the moment, looks like too much N if anything. Upping the humidity may also help
If it is RSM you've got to kill every single one of the fkers so you may need repeated treatment 5-10 days apart
 
Could be Mites as @Growings mentions. If examining the plant leaves shows Red Mite looking bugs keep in mind that Red Spider Mites are not always red colored. Red Spider Mites can be a problem but Red Mites are not.

There are some predator Mites, red in color, which are meat eaters. They will eat the Spider Mites that chew on plants. A quick read gardening article on the Red Mites and Red Spider Mites written by some guy from Canada. We all know those Canadian growers can grow just as well as we can ;).

I use a soil probe and water when dry. I found this on the under side of a leaf (mites?)and I found this beetle on my sticky trap. Looks harmless to me. Also I'm in Arizona and have access to lots of nutrients from the local hydro shop but these babies are only a few weeks old in a nutrient rich substrate so they should be fine currently.

I went ahead and sprayed with neem oil and pruned the sickly leaves just to be safe.

Thank you all so much for the replies! It means a lot to me!

Take that soil probe and put it away. Learn how your pot feels by picking it up, just watered and dry. That will tell you when to water.
