too much fertilizer maybe
yes could be.... check out this that someone just posted for the guy having problems with his doughlah's http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/nutrient_deficiencies.asp
It talks about leaf tips burning..... and if the box is black it means there's a deficiency in that category
I bookmarked that page for sure!!

Well from what I am seeing it is UNDER-Fertilization. Which would make sense as I have yet to use any Ferts
Well added some liquid ferts to the soil and what happens? I come back from work to plants that are drooping all the way down..WTF now not only are the leaves cupping and the tips turning black and dieing, but they look like absolute shit now.. I am soooo lost.

Once again pics would help.
I know, sorry....
I am thinking it may be calcium deficiency... How would i get more calcium in my soil
P.S. Sorry about no pictures. I don't have a working camera, and the only one I can get sucks major!!!

Potassium, magnesium, and calcium.... how do i get these into my soil?
Wood ash and epsom salts.
Just did a spraying of epsom for the magnesium and another spraying of some hydrated lime for the calcium...Got a little fan blowing on the leaves. Lets hope this gets rid of the necrosis!!!
I will be putting up pics later tonight guys because I am losing this battle 
The necrosis is still slowly advancing after two foliar treatments of hydrated lime and several treatments of Epsom.
Pray to the plant gods for me!!!

Hydrated lime is caustic stuff and I wouldn't recommend using it; too easy to damage roots if too much is applied and I wouldn't imagine leaves would like it. Calcitic or dolomitic lime is much safer, although I've never used them as a foliar spray.
