Any ideas what causes this?

Looks burnt, heat maybe
Pic of whole plant is better
Soil with time release nutes is not good, you have no control over it, and it's not a Tomato plant

miracle kill.
super hard to grow consistently with that stuff. you are not in control of the nutes in that stuff so hard to correct.
are you feeding ? and if so what ? it may be best to do a big flush to get the time release nutes out, then start addressing the deficiencies. it kind of looks like more than one thing to me.
hahaha chris got there first.

Feeding with Fox Farm Big Grow, used this once three days ago. Fed two weeks ago with Miricle Grow Feeder don’t remember name but I threw it away.
I’ve heard bad things about the Miricle Grow but it was all that was available in this area, will get something different in Spring. Only fertilizer in the stores now is this Big Grow.
Here is the latest picture from this morning when I bent the plants over.

I really appreciate your help, new to this and don’t have a very green thumb but I’m working on it.

Look's a little over fed to me, is she as dark green as it looks? I see a few clawing leaves also, possibly indicating too much N.
not doing bad for what you are working with at all. don't get discouraged or down on yourself.
how widespread is the damage ?
if you managed to flush the time release nutes in the soil out, you might be ok just running the fox farm stuff.
i concur with the over nute pe636 is mentioning. that would explain the damage. miracle wants only it's own shit til late in the game., even then it's a roll of the dice.

fan leaves show trouble quicker than the rest of the plant. they are what i look at for indications of issues. it means you still have a load of headroom time to fix. don't panic.
sounds a bit over fed. which is consistent with what you are using. doesn't mean there is not a deficiency. miracle junk, while having nutes, is no where complete enough for most cannabis grows.
try get hp promix next time. add some perlite or coco. forces you to feed everything as it is a "dead" soil. considered "soilless" which just means it is devoid of any nutrients. fox farm is another super popular soil. it does carry some nute tho.
i like starting guys in hp promix as it forces them to provide the rest and is good for the learning curve.

Yes the big older fans being affected indicates to me over fed, nitrogen specifically it looks like. It's like it accumulates there once the rest of the plant has enough.

Don't panic about losing a few leaves she has plenty to spare. Might take a week or two and she will lighten up somewhat. I see the start of burnt tips on the newer growth in the background of the most recent pic so definitely no food for now. Keep with the normal watering however you do it, you seem to be doing fine in that department.
no mention of ph in the thread so far,, probably because ph is so boring
but important as well
my latest research teaches me that leaves that look like yours can be a combination of things, as most stated
including ph,, your leaves look like mine,, unhappy,,
i have determined low ph to have been my main problem,, with the addition of other problems
i was using a ph in soil of under or right around six,, perhaps drifting a bit lower because of ph meter problems
the low ph is a problem for calcium and magnesium uptake,, which can result in leaf issues exactly like yours.
now add some overfeeding perhaps and the problem is very much compounded
the injured leaves will never recover so one must watch the next undamaged leaves for signs of improvement, or damage secession,, what ever that means,, for damage to stop happening more,, ha
rebound is slow as well, patience needed to not aggravate the issue more
cheers friend,, karma sent
