It looks like a definite nitrogen deficiency... if you had linked this question with a diary, we would be in a better position to advise you but on the surface, you need to definitely add nitrogen!

Dark tips it seems to me that the tips of the leaves have a very dark color, it looks like an excess of nitrogen but in three weeks I have never fertilized and the only additions to my biobizz light mix are a sprinkling of guano kalong and 10% of worm humus biobizz.

Nutrient imbalance or healthy development?Are the colors of the leaves a sign of healthy development in the flowering stage, or a sign of nutrient deficiency/excess? After struggling a lot with the nutrition of this plant, I am not sure anymore whether I'm doing it right. Some of the leaves become yellow and fall off.

Another round of Name That Deficiency 5 weeks into flower and this plant seems to be the problem child but she’s also the one showing the most growth. PH is 6 on her, was originally 6.2 but was having a manganese deficiency so went down to 6.0. Gave 3/4 of recommended nutrients in last feeding. Not sure what to do.
