Not pH. Not N.
I have the knowledge of just what exactly is in your soil......But first,,,,pic 4 shows LOTS of heat stress!!!!! Canoeing is pretty bad...Out side right? Maybe needs a bit more water volume when you water......Full sun all day long? Place her so she gets some shade during the day....These will help that one.
Now for the nutritional aspects.
For what you have going in the soil my friend.....I would water with a simple AACT tea, no added nutrition.
Try this one once a week. Start at 50-50 tea & water mixed...
1/3 cup Worm castings
1/3 cup Alfalfa meal
1/3 cup unsulfured Molasses.
This is for 5 gallons of tea......reduce proportionally for your needs. This will supply the highest living bio count of any AACT tea I have tried...
Some of the lower shade leaves may be dieing off......That is normal,,,,don't sweat it.....If it starts going on up to more and more leaves.....let us know.

What's up Dave!?
I moved my plant to a shaded area but it's still canoeing. This plant is pissing me off haha. My other two plants are doing just fine but this one is so damn sensitive. I fed it earlier thinking it would make somewhat of a difference, but nothing happened.
More leaves are turning brown and dying.............................

I'll give my opinion right after you remove the tin foil hat from that pot

yo........pot up to a 20 gallon tote, or better. water well. hold all feeds until new, vigorous growth is observed. a tsp. of humic acid in that pot. huh? too much, imo. tin foil around pot is keeping in as much heat as its reflecting; maybe more.
your roots are too hot.
your medium is unbalanced.
cannabis is a full-sun plant, and with proper thermal mass around its root-zone can handle heat well.
all in my humble opinion.

I thought aluminum would reflect light and keep my pots cool. I wish I could grow in bigger pots, but I have neighbors. My other two plants aren't having this issue and they have the same medium...Do you still think it might be an unbalanced medium, or just that the roots are too hot?
There's more new leaves with brown tips......

if you cannot pot up, dig a hole for the pot, and drop it in the take advantage of the grounds cooling effects.
I think the medium has become unbalanced from too much feeding. the plant will use it up if you don't give it more.
I think the hot roots made the plant get sick easier from the nutes than if the roots were cool.

Yup,,,hot roots!
Nice suggestion on the in ground trick.....works well!
I would lean to only using water. You have a pretty stout soil mix that should not need any feeding for a long,long time......The tea I gave you is a basic "bio" tea to add minimal nutrition and high living goodie Bio counts!
Stop "feeding" and simply use water....your brown tips should stop as the new growth comes in....If purring the pot in the ground is uncomfortable to you.....wrap it in a white trash bag or something white.....that'll help.
