Hello, im about 3 weeks into flowering and have noticed a few leaves developed brownish spots. they feel dry as well. it is on 3 of the 4 plants that i have in the tent. they are due for a watering and nutes but wasnt sure if i should skip the nutrients this time incase of it being burnt from it. any suggestions?

What’s your nutrient ratio ? Did you switch to flower nutes ? There not burning the tips would be burnt.

im using fox farm nutrients and yes have started using the flower nutes. im using 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of big bloom, 1 tsp grow big and 1 tsp of tigerbloom. i use nutes every other watering and water about 2-3 times a week. i use all three nutes for 2 cycles and then 2 cycles with just the big bloom and the tigerbloom, leaving the grow big out.

If your in soil and have a pH of 6.4, the plant can't up take the Calcium , Magnesium or Phosphorus. Don't just throw things at it until the pH is correct.

what are you feeding it? pH is not the problem. Nor does that look like a calcium deficiency. Looks much more like its on the verge of nute burn. My guess is you have been feeding it high P bloom food.
edit: I now see you are using FF. The Tiger Bloom contains way too much P in ratio to N and K. Too much P is the issue IMO.

I dont use a lot of nutes really and use them every other watering. i have the fox farm trio nutrients and use half strength that the chart tells me to. maybe they are not taking in enough nutrients

is there a way to balance that out? or do you reccomend not using the tiger bloom?

Toxic salts buildup. Look it up.

Low RH I bet. Happens to me all the time but now I run nutes half as strong and the last grow was good with no sign of that.

Sometimes the puzzle is easier than you think.

If I had to guess, I'd say its due to K tox. The combo of dry/crunchy feeling and rust spots described and pictured.
