That's weird cuz as I said yesterday was my 4th day of watering with plain distilled water to flush the soil.
Should I leave it as is or try to correct the problem?

Soil stores those nutes you put in before though...Seems like you were pushing them a little too hard in the end but it'll be fine. Just continue to flush for another 1.5 weeks or a little more.

To me it looks like a calcium deficiency, which would make perfect sense. You are late into bloom, and are flushing with distilled water, which has no calcium. Mature plants tend to get a cal deficiency more so than younger plants. I wouldn't worry about it if you're flushing to harvest. My leaves are all dying up usually by the time I chop.
EDIT: yeah there's a bit of burn on the leaf tips but those look older, cause they are on other leaves un effected by rust spots.

You think a little molasses would help? I'm thinking about using some for the last few waterings

I use molasses as well near the end of flowering, but if you are already flushing I personally wouldn't because you'd have to flush again. Normally I add molasses when they hit full strength nutrients because molasses feeds the microorganisms in your growing medium, which break down the food for your roots to uptake faster. If there's no food in the medium there's not much of a value in it.

Sounds like they've got a calcium deficiency. If you have calmag I'd add a small amount of that. If not, if you use distilled water, then tap water can give you calcium. Egg shells are high in calcium, if you add some to your soil they should hold over flowering plants.

I'd just let her finish not worth trying to fix deficiencies in the end, you're going to get them on a lot of leaves as the plant matures. You flushed already, so just keep the medium inert and your smoke will be tasty.
