Are these plants in the ground? or Pots?
This far along top dressing may be creating a little more nitrogen than the plants are happy with. What did you top dress with?
As your plant's are starting to flower you should be applying a flowering mix or if your into organic. something like this.

From what your telling me and what I see. Everything is about as perfect as can be. You switched to a flowering mix and minerals pretty much right on time. The one plant looks like it's a little hot but it will be ok in the long run. As time goes on some plants may be pulling a little nitrogen from the lower leaves and yello up a bit. Nothing to worry about there at this stage.
The browning tips usually indicate high salt content in the potting mix and a miniral flush is in order. Maybe keep an eye on them. Other than that I'd say wow man nice grow!
Looks like your doing a fine job.

I've never added any synthetics or anything other than organic amendments to my soil mixes ever and they are soaked and been soaked so I tell myself to just leave them alone but idk I do notice some fungus gnats around and I have blamed them in the past for poor crops but I feel like I've gotten so far this year without any that it would be hard for them to hurt me now bbt once again idk lol... guess I should of gave them the 2nd recommended dose of nematodes but I just learned this week that the heat can kill them off so hit them twice gd to know for next year.

Found 2 leafs with what I guess is moth eggs or God knows on them but I pulled them off and got rid off them but I notice the wire I have surrounding the shelter frame I have my plants in seem too have the same eggs on the wire which is very close to my plants so I may have to remove wire fence closing them in just to gid rid off eggs. Fire does not seem to hurt them visibly. Lol

@CriticalWorm - Flushing isn't necessary or even advisable when using organic nutrients.
I also use Gaia Green with mycorrhizae. I also add 1 tablespoon Epsom salts, 1 tablespoon gypsum and 2 tablespoons Azomite. These supplement magnesium, calcium and micronutrients. I do that about every two weeks or when I think the plant needs it. I put it in a jar with some soil, mix it up and top dress it before watering.
