.Hi everyone ! This is my first auto flower, she’s in her 8th week from seed. Gorrilla Cookies from 420 Fastbuds. She’s been growing in a 50/50 mix of Coco Loko and Happy Frog with added perlite. I top fed her Gaia Green Bloom 10 days ago watered with half a dose of recharge 4 days ago besides that she’s just been getting spring water 6.0 ph with cal mag every other watering She doesn’t have a strong smell at all and didn’t start producing trichomes until this week. Is that normal for autos or am I doing something wrong ? Buds seem to be fattening up but only look frosted if I use flash on camera . Brown spots are starting to appear on leafs coming out of buds .

Normal. All plants develop differently. Auto or not.
Your input should be around 6.5pH
FF coco loco is pretty much happy frog with some coco. It’s soil.
She looks good though, so good job.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing these leaves to look like this especially the brown spots on leaf tips

Maintain that 6.5 pH as @Low suggested 
I water with calmag every time and have avoided the spots on the leaves. Fox farms even recommends this on their schedule.

You say you’re using spring water. What’s the EC or PPM of your spring water? (Just water before adding anything)
The reason I ask. If memory serves ,(and that ain’t saying much for me) spring water has a very high PPM
Now I remember. I was buying spring water by the gallon from Walmart and it had a PPM of almost 400 believe you absolutely no room for feeding your plant. I switched to distilled water and eventually I went to pure rainwater. Definitely check your spring water PPM if it’s got a high PPM get rid of it it’s the same price as distilled water distilled water has a zero PPM allowing you to feed your plant true nutrients instead of additives that you don’t even know what they are

I unfortunately don’t have a ppm meter, but sounds like I need one. I’ll switch to distilled until I get one. …… Thanks for the advice !
