Just saw in your diary that this problem existed for longer, you are feeding frequently and you mentioned possible overfeeding at one point. Maybe your potassium intake is being "blocked" from too high amounts of N / P / Ca &/or Mg. In this case you could consider to try flushing your soil if possible to remove built up salts.

Looks like a potassium deficiency to me. Flowering plants have a higher demand for K than vegetative plants.

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency? This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!

Bio Grow burn vs Bio Grow boost Hi, it seems like she keeps getting nute burns as soon as i give her Bio Grow, even at half dosage (1ml/L). She has only 10 more days of veg and i wanted to boost her, what if i stop giving Bio Grow altogether until flowering? Is the tradeoff worth it? No burn but less growing?

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?
