Leaves becoming dried up and turning rust colour

I’ve currently got a northern lights in flower, she’s a couple weeks away from harvest. Ever since she went into flower she started developing rust coloured spots on the edges of the leaves that move inward and the leaves are drying out. I’m using fox farms ocean forest soil with tiger bloom. I have been PHing the water, I’m not having any luck diagnosing the problem and it seems to be getting worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How about starting with a support ticket? Tell us the soil conditions and any nutes and how much/how often. Water, age, anything you can think of.

Can you take a pic of the entire plant and post.
Is this happening rapidly…on a leaf…like overnight or over several days?
It’s normal that far into flower for the plant to start consuming resources from the fan leaves causing discoloring and shriveling etc.

It seems to have definitely speed a lot more over the last couple of days, it started slow but progressed the more it got into flower. I checked the ph of the runoff and it’s at 4.8. I balanced my water to 6.5
