New Buds look brown and dry. Am I in trouble?

When I zoom the first photo, I see what looks like white spots on the leaves. Have you checked under the leaves for pests?

They have charts that show which nutrients are available at certain pH. 6.3-6.5 seems to be the optimal range for soil from what I've seen and read, but I'm not a scientist.
I’m growing in FF Ocean Forest and I always ph between 6.5-6.8 fluctuating each water/feed

Do you think this issue I'm having is light related? I'm borderline ready to rip them out of the ground.
How far away are your lights? It looks like bleaching. The only other thing I can think of is humidity causing new growth to be oversaturated.

I have a couple hours of grow work still I will check back with you and try to figure it out.

I think it may be a combination of light intensity and humidity tbh. I pulled the lights way back. My humidity is still sitting at around 70% give or take. I ordered a dehumidifier on Amazon and they sent it to Ohio (I'm in CA) lol. I know my humidity levels are high, but I have another tent in the same room that looks great, so I'm a little perplexed

I would bet money its because of the light, I just had something similar happen. It seems like if it was nutrient related the tops would die instead of growing without chlorophyll. The high humidity could be making the issue worse.

Its good you are getting a dehumidifier even if it isn't the cause, that high can issues when they are flowering. If you can get around 30-40% you will get a lot tighter nug. They do raise temps so be ready for that also.

Talk about foot in my mouth, I was bitching that everyone keeps their double endeds too far away; and I now have a clone with a bleach spot on top of its top bud because it stretched above the other clones about 8 inches. It looks the same color as the issue on your plants. So instead of recommending 3 feet from the canopy I now recommend four lmao. Not sure why it wasn't an issue before this season either, especially with having better grow conditions now.

I have to continue working so I can get this day over with, let me know how the new growth looks. Air flow really helps the plants fight humidity also. Most air conditioners will bring the humidity down to 50% on top of fighting the heat.

You can also straighten any vents so they don't have right elbows and also take off the carbon filter unless you really need to hide the smell or are at risk of contamination. Kind of stripping down to speed up airflow.
