Help me please I can't figure out what's wrong

I wouldn't use bio thrive along with bio marine, too much P for indoor autos imo. I'd go 5ml bio bloom with 2.5ml ca/mg and watch for signs of slowing damage or recovery. You can look up your city's tap water report or measure with a meter as kushash said. You might want a bottle of bio grow or a fresh up pot of ffof a week before flip to help autos stay green during & after transition.
So just those 2 no bio bud correct

Either bio marine,bio bud + cal mag or bio bloom with cal mag, the thing here is to not go overboard with P but have enough n & k, I say this because it appears you have burnt tips on the upper foliage along with skinny leaves at the cola's which makes me think excess nutes.

For veg growth I prefer a ratio of 3 - 1 - 2 and transition/bloom with an auto i would attempt to stay near 1 - 1 - 1, your at 2 - 3.5 - 3, its not a crazy amount of P but constant use could lead to excess P in the soil which can cause a reduction of trace/secondary mineral uptake, the first signs of excess P is usually tip burn followed by ca/mg/fe/zn def.

Your tap water could be contributing to the issue also, I would try to look that report up.

157 is fine for tap, You took 10ml to a half gallon of 157ppm tap and its only 393?

10ml bio bloom with 2.5ml ca/mg with your tap should kick you into the 600-700 range, i can't tell you what's left behind in your soil but if its something like fox farms ocean forrest then id start at 600ppm and work your way up if needed, feed,water,water,feed with good run-off and dont increase unless it gets hungry.

Got to keep everything in balance, your leaves wont return green but the damage at the upper foliage should slow/halt, if the bottom starts yellowing out and dropping leaves, take another pic and post back here.

Another thing, dont let your soil dry out completely and dont let it stay wet for extended periods. A gallon to 6 gallons of soil (1:6 ) is what works for me, my 3 gallon pots take a half gallon max and i get some run-off.

Ok, if they start dropping lower leaves up it to 10ml bio bloom and 2.5ml ca/mg, for now let it ride, how many weeks before flip have you been in those pots?

I'm wondering if the problems I had before will affect the overall yield and what can I do to get the buds fat but it looks to be recovering well and should the hairs should be turning brown already just a question

Yes it will effect yield, shit happens though live & learn.

Keep your plant as happy as possible and it will fatten your nugs up to whatever potential it has left, they also swell up towards/during ripening.

Also normal for calyxs to die off in small waves with age, but its also possible to kill them prematurely by the oils on your skin or spraying them.

Those Brown spots on the leaves and how they are advancing in the center makes me think you have a phosphorus deficiency.
