I keep getting these brown spots on ny leaves. Ive cut a few off and more popping up. Some are brown some are yellow in random spots. What could this be? Ive been feeding for farm trio at half strength one a week for weeks. I believe some top leaves may have burned from strong light but random spots on mostly lower and few newer growth. Please help. Almost 5 weeks into flower

Are you sure you’re only at 4wks? The first picture shows nearly all red hairs on the bud and appears further along.
What is the pH and ppm of your nutes going in and coming out??

Yeah its 4 weeks about to be 5. Some buds have had orange hairs for about a week. My Ppm when feeding has recently been between 800-950. I have not been able to measure runoff yet.

Ive also been using open sesame and now beastie bloomz. I add all 3 trio about half strength from their feeding schedule. Ph is always between 6-7.

Sorry to hear about the spots on your leaves. Sometimes brown or burnt edges come from a bit too much feed or stress. Since you’re monitoring pH, you might ease back on feeding and make sure temps and humidity stay in a comfortable range. Plants are resilient and will often finish just fine. Wishing you a smooth rest of your grow!

@ZooKeepa from my experience when the pistols turn that early in flower every time I am full of seeds

Using FF nutes, you need to flush whether it be their Sledgehammer or just water to rinse out the salts. Do you water to runoff?
First thing I would do is get your pH out and PPM’s to see if the rootzone is tanked or she is locked out. Once you have that info, a better assessment can be made.

I hope not. Ill be keeping eye out for other signs of herm
Yes I have been watering til run off. I havent measured ppm. There are no saucers it pools to one side of tent some. Ill try to capture the runoff this time. Im debating whether feeding nutes again slightly more dilluted. The spots of mostly on lower big fans leaves. I had nute burn weeks earlier (why the tips are burnt) and light stress which crisped highest tops some. Ive done 1 flush 2 days ago. They get watered every other day now. Im leaning towards feeding today because multiple plants have withered yellowed lowest leaves. Im worried to feed but im also worried not to and further deficiency if so. I appreciate all the advice
Ill flush them no nutes again and get runoff ppm instead of feeding yet

In soil, this is too often IMO. Overwatering is frequency, not amount at once. When I was using Ocean forest, and in a 5 to 10 gallon pot, I would only water every 3-5 days depending on stage of growth. Frequent watering also causes its own set of issues.

That may be the root of the issue tbh. I was worried about it as ive never watered this frequent. I wait til bottom leaves droop. It happens every other day now. thats how i got into water this schedule. I had thought since mainlined with atleast dozen tops that their roots are massive drinking alot. Im now noticing the leaves droop and soil still wet an inch down.

@ZooKeepa agree with @Bonjoyle statement…need those numbers. Accumulated salts from lack of runoff can tank the PH preventing nutrient uptake

Sorry for delay. I checked runoff ppm and it was 1200. Thats too high right? I’ve flushed them once more and now easing back in to feeding at lower ppm.
Some leafs continuing to spot yellow and brownish orange but plants seem much happier than before. Also noticed what looks like salted crust on top of soil. Nute burn, salt build up and possible lock out is my guess. Thank you all for the help I seriously appreciate it.
