That is Nutrient Burn. All things considered, it's incredibly common.
Especially because most fertilizers are too strong and even their "recommended" dosage you should cut in half.
That is either too much (P) Phosphorus, or excess (K) Potassium

Brown spots on leavesWhat seems to be the problem with my plant? The old leaves get brown spots whereas the newer ones have yellow edges. Is it a pH issue?
Is there a fix to this?

End of Flower, Yellow and crusty leaves ok ?Hey last weeks of flower and I’m not sure if it’s fine how they are developing, as I started flushing this week they quickly started developing yellow crusty leaves.
Should I keep flushing them as I will cut them in 1 or 2 weeks or should I try to balance out missing nutrients?Leaves. Curl up

Brown spots on bud sites leavesHi all,
I’ve been getting these brown spots in the past 2 weeks, mainly on the top leaves located nead bud sites.
What could this be? Ph is ok, I’ve already tried to flush her, Rh is around 45%.
This is day 65, ~20 more to go. Will this affect the bud formation or quality?
