While i think it's perfectly normal that some leaves curl up and die during flowering, you shouldn't have your tips burnt like that. How far away is your light? It should be at least 25cm away.

What are you feeding?

I will join @Stokes with question for detailed feeding schedule

i feed my plant with compost tea every week,

I grow my girls organically, now I feed my girls with compost tea,

2-3 scoops of worm castings about 200-300g
200 ml of liquid fish meal
1 tsp of kelp meal
50 g of bone powder
50 g of microbe fertilizer
50 g of organic fertilizer

I brew these into 10 L water and feed 4 of 3 gallon pot + 1 5 gallon pot.. which my i use 1 gallon pot with soil with seedling , when I change my 3 gallon pot I use coco coir to cover the soil ... which the centre is soil..

I feed the combination of above tea brew left overs on my pot.. then i feed them with compost tea..

my top canopy is about 15cm away from the light, however, i notice this is too close i've already dial my light to ppfd 900 at the peak so the rest of the area is less than 900

It seems to be lacking in flowering nutrients, potassium specifically

It seems to be lacking in flowering nutrients, potassium specifically. Molasses could help, as well as a banana tea. I dont have alot of experience with your style of growing. I do organic dry.

Whats in your organic fertilizer?

 

[Sunin]

me too- maybe

I dont have alot of experience with your style of growing.

me too - maybe organic tea growers will help as they definitely lack something
I do agree it looks like potash with yellowing and cripsy end
and what's your PH?

i did feed with pot ash

 

[Sunin]

soil ph?

well- you can give me PH of the morning oatmeal but I don't think it will help, do you?
flower needs more potash and phospho and bit higher PH for absorption of it
when in doubt - test your run off

do i get a soil ph meter or put the soil in water the test the water ph reading?

 

[Sunin]

I test run off with PH check solution but you have also soil testers - yes
Whatever you decide on you have to know what your PH is - it affects how much and what your plant can uptake from soil

I'm gonna soak the soil in water then do the ph reading

i use the surface soil on the pot, which is soaked into water for a couple of minutes, the PH is 5.75-5.8

I feed this gal with kelp organic fertilizer + kelp meal every second week, and compost tea (ewc + fish emulsion) every second week..

I'm feeling suprise that this gal is lack of nutrients...

Check VIVOSUN own instructions with their light distance. Some are so strong it needs to be farther than 15cm!

My tent is only 140cm tall, this is the furthest distance i can do on this plant as this plant has already stretch too much i cannot train her any more

the PH is 5.75-5.8

raise it up to 6.5 in first phase and 6.7 in second during flower. you are not absorbing what you should with such a low PH

I'm doing organic grow, so what do I need to do to raise this PH to 6.5
