Opening up a can of worms. Fungal Disease (Rust): Rust is a common fungal disease that can cause rusty brown spots or lesions on leaves. Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, particularly potassium, can lead to brown, rust-colored spots on leaf edges or tips. Inconsistent Watering: Allowing plants to dry out too long or overwatering can cause browning, especially on leaf tips and edges. (Not rust) Salt Buildup: Excessive fertilizer or softened water can lead to salt buildup in the soil, causing brown tips. (Not rust though.) Knowing your ph was in 5's is a problem at low ph aluminum will start to break bonds and rapidly replace mainly calcium and magnesium and pottasium bonds. See if you can get your ph closer to 7 maybe 6.7, the lower the ph the lower base saturation of Ca, Mg and K. Cannabis medium will naturally acidify over time, so you gotta keep an eye on her.and not let her drift below 6 ever. Best of luck pal, I'd Give her another week, see how she progresses, let us know 👍.

Looks like a bit of Ca issues to me and prob shock from the PH being so low. Give it some time to bounce back and make sure your feeding it a well rounded diet. The old leaves will not recover, but the progression should stop advancing if it was just the PH and your feed is balanced and well rounded. I do not see signs of thrips or spirdermites in the pics. I can see how some of the dots might be perceived as such. but to me I don't think that is it. If you want to doubble check. flip the leaves over and use a magnifying glass. it might look like dander or little specs. the mites can be removed with your finger or a tissue. if not its removng its not mites.

are you dechlorinating your water? it looks like calcium deficiency or chlorine toxicity but it also looks like it might be spidermites or thrips
