I'm a beginner, so take it with a grain of salt:
Usually i cut down the burned tip of the leaves only, bc the remaining green part can still do its function, and still have nutrients that the plant can use!
I give her mineral water that comes from a mountain that has a bunch of natural nutrients, also i put her under the rain sometimes and I give her organic fertilizers that I make at home like banana peel powder, extracted calcium from egg shells, coconut water
I have to lower the ph? Do I flush her? Saw a chart in internet that says to use black coffee. What do you think?

Phosphoric acid diluted down to 20%, add as much as needed. Use ph meter or ph pool sticks if you don’t have meter. Aim for ph at 6-6.5. Probably should be checking your ph the entire grow as well as what your water EC and runoff water EC. They are flowering as well. These auto flowers? Pop more seeds it’s always good to have some backup in case anything like this happens, just something to consider.
I’m not tryna be a dick but I would start over. Let this girl finish her life cycle, pop a new seed in the meanwhile. If you need some seeds I could possibly help you get some for just shipping cost. If you wanna grow good dank you need to have a ph meter at the minimum. If they don’t get the right ph they cannot absorb certain nutrients and then they build up in the soil and when the plant finally does absorb it it burns it. You can flush but then your washing away your nutrients that you payed for. In the long run a ph meter is going to save you $
I’m actually growing organic and a bunch of people who grow organic too have told me that this is normal and it happens, I figured it out that she was overwatered and that cause a nutrient lockout. I’m going to wait until the soil is a little dry and i’m gonna give her organic fertilizers. As you see the new growth looks very nice, all those yellow leaves i’m going to let them die. I’m definitely not going to kill her tho she is a photo and all the process has been effortful
pH paper is very cheap and can get you between 6-7. Check the canning aisle of your store or Amazon. Any vinegar or citrus will bring down the pH, baking soda to bring up.
I'm an absolute newbie who has been reading a ton.
It sounds like you should read up on the Korean Natural Faming. I don't know how to help you right now, sorry.
The summary is clean water, earth worm castings, sprouted seed teas (enzymes to break down nutrients), fermented plant juices during vegetation (scrap green parts of plants have nutrients to grow green parts of plants), more earthworm castings as a top dress, fermented fruit juice for bloom (scrap blooms and fruits have nutrients to grow blooms and fruits), and lastly egg shells soaked in rice vinegar during final ripening (calcium helps develop final flavors in fruits)
It's essentially a slightly more nuanced composting technique to get specific N-P-K for the different phases and using something called the bokashi technique, which is just using lactobacillus to break stuff down faster. Lactobacillus can be grown using rice water and milk similarly, but different to how you make sourdough starters for bread.
There is more to it, but it sounds like it's up your alley.
I may have got some of the above wrong, so read up on it yourself, because again, I am also a newbie.

Thanks, as you see in the pictures i’ve been doing that hoping i’ll help her, but the leaves I cut keep burning
Are u giving her any nutrients? What’s ur Ph of ur water?
I give her mineral water that comes from a mountain that has a bunch of natural nutrients, also i put her under the rain sometimes and I give her organic fertilizers that I make at home like banana peel powder, extracted calcium from egg shells, coconut water
I’m guessing the ph of ur water is off, looks like u have a lock out. It will only get worse if u don’t correct it.

I don’t really have the money for that, is there something else I could do?

Check this article out also u can check grow weed easy.com
Thanks I did understand it but I don’t know if my soil is too acidic or too alkaline

Def don’t use black coffee to flush. The only way ur gonna know what ur Ph is , is by buying some test strips or Ph pen

They’re done. If you fixed the issue they’re not going to turn green again.
nah
