So I know I have an excess of nitrogin and that because I put to much nutes in the pre prepared soil. However, before the tips start burning, also on the leaves itself some burnt spots appeared. Could it be light burn? Thanks!

Hi @beer420! To me it looks like the result of a serious Nitrogen toxicity My theory is that a wrong pH range for the whole grow (and probably a wrong watering routine) have created some sort of salt buildups and/or Nitrogen toxicity due to the use of EasyGrow, and the roots can't handle anymore. This is confirmed by your leave's coloration, this dark greeen is a bad sign, especially when it's glossy like that, your plant had too much Nitrogen for the last weeks. In this situation I would remove the most affected leaves, heavily flush the medium with plain pH'd water (~6.2), put a tiny fan blowing onto the container to help it dry quickly and avoid an overwatering scenario, then see how it goes after a few days. If things are looking good, consider giving some P+K booster for the last weeks before the final flush. Now about the watering routine, make sure you follow a wet/dry cycle with quick rotations, I.E one day wet with nutrients, one day dry, one day wet with plain pH'd water, etc...And always water with ~15-20% of your container's volume, unless you want a serious drain (in order to flush). Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing 👊

Doesn't look like light burn to me. More like nute related burn. I would add call mag, flush and feed lightly.

So...going off several photos..im more inclined to lean towards a phosphorus deficiency, youve got the reddish stems, the rust colored burn spots and very deeply dark leaves outside of the spots. I see you mentioned giving the flush due to nitrogen, and if youre having a toxicity its not uncommon for other elements to get locked out. Fortunately your buds are looking great and pretty far along, so regardless of possible light, magnesium or phosphorus problem i dont see it ruining your crop. Also with a magnesium problem I think it might be more common to see more very bright yellow/bright green veins and leaf color, funny the symptoms are often like manganese deficiency which is offputting because they sound so similar. Enjoy your last bit of flowering and happy harvesting. ✌️

Hello my friend, this looks like a lack of magnesium , this you can correct very easily and very cheaply with Epsom Salt - a bit too much N still, but looks good ! good luck 🚀

Looks like a lack of magnesium, according to the dots on the leafs
