You don't need to give up yet but can you post more details about your grow?

Temp and Humidity values?
Medium you're using?
Nutrient brand and dose you're feeding?
Light intensity/dimmer setting and how high over the plant?

It looks like heat and light damage to me but not watering enough can cause the same damage regardless of light intensity because the plants itself is drying out.

I also see your humidifier mist in the lower left corner blowing right toward the plant, if the mist gets on the leaves and combined with light and heat can cause the leaves to wrinkle, change color, burn, etc.

How do the buds look themselves? Do the tops looked burnt or anything?

sorry for the late reply.
temp is 78 and humidity 57
organic soil
gaia green every three weeks
light is at 7 about 600 vpd
The tops don't look burned.

Yeah I don't know what I did wrong. this is my first grow. It looked great until about 2 weeks into flower. Then I started to get the brown tips and edges and it progressed from there. I think I might have been underwatering. The problems were all of the plant not just on the top. I did turn the light down. So I'm not sure. I was doing the Gaia green at about 3/4 of the recommended dose, worm castings, silica/ recharge, and calmag. I decided not to kill it even though the buds aren't very big. It really hasn't put much weight on since the 4th week. They probably would have turn out large if I hasn't messed it up.

I do seem to get some red stems, but haven't figured that out yet.

That plant should finish, I would at least give it another week or 2. When you are using dry amendments, you don't want the soil to dry out to much. It messes with your microbes, do you have any Recharge you can give it?
