Brown buds

You need to add a diary so we can help you my friend. Your second pic also has problems starting. I would say to high a feed on the first pic and the spots on the second pic could be do to dry areas in your roots because fabric planters become hard to get water through to every part of the planter. The water actually channels like a river and washes down the easiest path. Try letting it sit in its runoff water until it wicks some back into the planter. Cheers
