Hey not a expert or nun but smts it fixes itself when it’s a potassium defiancy, over the time of it goin through the stress smts some plants tend to just fix themselves up, but if that’s not the case counting on what you’re using then you could ph your soil so potassium can be absorbed, if you use soil make sure ph is 6.0 - 7.0 so it can absorb, if you use coco coir or hydro then 5.5 - 6.5 is the ph where potassium is best absorbed. Make sure your ph ain’t too high, because therefore the problem will not go away and might just spread more. Banana peels are good potassium too but that’s if you wanna take the risk. Good luck :)!

That looks more like lockout or pH issues. I'd give plain water for a bit. Do you know the soil pH?

No way in hell you have a potassium deficiency with what you're feeding. If anything you've used too high of levels of P/K. What's the molasses for?

Your soil is whacked from putting too much of the wrong stuff into it when the plants didn't need it and couldn't use it.

Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30

Protekt 0-0-3

Tiger Bloom 2-8-4

Not a hell of a lot you can do at this stage but for future grows it would be worth doing a little research on basic plant nutrition and ignoring all of the cannabis nutrient marketing nonsense.

Also, another reason I'm not a fan of silica products is due to the way they can significantly raise the pH. I'd ditch the Protekt for sure and the Beastie Bloomz. The Tiger Bloom would have been good enough.

Is this y I see more sugar leaves than bud in this one ? N how much longer do u think this one has ?
some strains simply have more sugar leaves, which other strains develop large buds with few sugar leaves, its on the genetics. Also, I feel that too much defoliation can impact the plant but not enough can also impact the plant when growing indoors. If the plant is not getting enough light absorption because of lack of fan leaves maybe it could grow more sugar leaves to compensate when it reaches flower stage? This is just speculation but i would love to hear other ideas!

Calyx to leaf ratio.

Ok I guess I’m hoping for them to bulk up in the next couple weeks. Do u you a guess to how long she has to harvest

By the looks of the pictures you have attached, there going to be harvested separate times because the plants in the first 6 pictures those plants have white pistils still and they sticking out(pointy), they still got weeks to go, after a week or 2 you’ll notice pistils start curling in and calyxes getting fatter, just stick to a light feed for those plants and let em keep doing their thing and tryda give em some eggshell tea I can tell they need some calcium, but be aware your late in flower so only use 10 eggshells, 10 per gallon 5 per half gallon, boil eggshells in water and let sit till cool then use! Now those other plants in picture 7 and 8 look like there a week and half away from harvest, just feed them one last time, and remember not to harvest with super wet soil! Like a grower once told me, Overwatering slows growth remember that!! Also you got a lot of aciditiy in your soil so you might wanna use a bit molasses or honey. Nothing too crazy but like I said you pretty late in flower so be careful what you feeding plants! Overall, you got to let em do there thing bc your alr too late in flower, Hope I could help! Good luck, btw buds lookin nice, only issue is the burnt leaves be aware it could mess your yields quality!
