With all due respect I disagree,you have tip burn and spotted crispy leaves.Even some leaves close to the top.When a plant sheds leaves,they will turn a pale yellow and drop off,not what you have there looks to me.Honestly looks like a calcium lockout to me.
What do you make of the crispy spots?

Could be true about the lockout, no doubt. Probably a long term Ca/Mag def, agreed, but age of the leaf has a bit to do with that decay, imop.

Hahaha yall are clownin, I love it. Shes a bit stunted cuz I planted her Sept 29 and she was forced to flower way too early. There were other stupid rookie mistakes. She's got little buds but they're maaad potent
that last picture concerns me.
That fanleaf has a bunch of pinpricks in it... doesn't look like the normal spidermite damage, but you best turn that leaf over and see if there is ANYTHING under it...
to be safe.
the pic is sorts not the best... but i'd make sure those tiny spots aren't from bugs...
In my experience damage like that is bug oriented.

I took some bad advice and mixed dish soap, vinegar and alcohol and sprayed the leaves to get rid of bugs. The chemicals mixed with direct sunlight on the water drops burned the leaves

Ah hah!
I thought it looked like azamax damage...
same thing though.
What bugs did you have?
alcohol and vinegar are no-nos though man... not for a foliar spray

Yeah I learned that the hard way. They bugs were tiny off-white specks. Some were light tan with red dots.
Yeah. Spider mites most likely. Do you have a loup? 10x will show them. Slow, destructive bastards! Had them last grow. Dousing the tops and bottoms of all the fan leaves with neem oil was the only thing short of permethrin that worked. And mine weren't that bad. The plants didn't like them. Between the mites and the damn fungus gnats, not sure what killed their growth more. Good luck.
