Looking at those pics I'm gonna lean very heavy towards bugs. If guessing spider mites and caterpillar's possibly something in the soil eating roots.
I'm gonna step out this treatment of bugs not my strong point. I would scope those leaves though.
^ fairly advanced mite infestationHave you checked for pests yet such as spider mites?
Lots of white dots on leaves.

I just got through tossing one I had taken in from outside a while back, I have only fought them with DE, squishing and spraying with shower wand from underneath in the bathtub. I wouldn't wish them on anyone and fear they will return especially when things get hot and humid.I unfortunately don’t have a scope but I think it’s mites, so far I haven’t found any webbing except from the odd random caterpillar so not sure what type of mites. I’ve only dealt with mites in veg stage with neem oil what do you recommend I use so far into flowering?
I'm sure others will help I was just pointing out the obvious...But I would do a check, I can see them with my eyes although they are difficult to spot.Green cleaner is your friend. Can be sprayed up to the day of harvest. The main ingredient is alcohol. When you harvest take the hole plant outside and hit it with compressed air. That will get rid of all the dead bugs. Dry the hole plant up side down all the rest of the mites will scurry to the top of the stalk I usually burn em with a propane torch.

Yes it often affects new growth tips as you've described; there are a lot of organic mixtures you can make at home with hot peppers & tobacco and the like online, so if you get a chemical product you can alternate it with a homemade recipe so they don't develop a tolerance to just one, might give you greater success!Good luckThat was my concern, I’m out in the jungle in Costa Rica so there’s so many things trying eat her and those white dots just showed up yesterday. I get a lot of leaf minors leaving so I was hoping that’s what it was but I think your right about the mites. Do you have a recomended method of killing them without affecting the flowers, she’s at 32 days. Can mites cause the leaf tips to curl and die like that? Looks like a possible potassium deficiency also
If you haven't left yet my experience is that neem oil on its own will not work; it may be a component in a homemade Brew but used by itself I haven't had luck with it. I would use the strongest commercial product I could findUnfortunately Amazon is not an option in the jungle. I’m off today on a 2hr commute to the closest and only grow shop in my Provence they don’t have green cleaner but stock an alternative product that’s oraganic and can be sprayed through the flowering period. My next question is if I’m successful after multiple sprays killing mites and their eggs is it possible for my buds to produce fresh new white pistils and still stack weight or are they likely to be stunted for life equaling an early harvest? I’m at day 32 of flower so a lot of time before she is meant to come down.

Ps. The irony of Amazon not being an option in the jungle was not lost on me
