    Salt build-up from fertilizer and/or hard water is a possibility. Could also be sunburn. Do you have photos?

    I agree with this, the only extra thing I could add is to the fertilizer/salt build up is that the plants have been getting to much fertilizer and not being watered enough to allow the plant to use the fert' or the residue be washed out of the mix.
