Brown burnt tips on smallest leaves

Today I noticed that smallest leaves are getting brown tips. Yesterday I sprayed her with diy insecticide against thrips(soap, alcohol and h2o2). Could it be light burn or nutrient burn? She grows in bio bizz all mix which is heavy fertilized, and gets no extra nutrients.

Have to agree with Organoman here... either use some Spinosad or Dr. Zymes or SOMETHING that is made for spraying plants that does NOT contain alcohol! Both Spinosad and Dr. Zymes will take care of thrips (and spider mites and aphids and and and) and both are organic. If you get the concentrated versions, mix them exactly as directed... Good luck!

High, This is caused by nuteburn. It is better to start with lightmix. I do always use BioBizz lightmix this contains enough nutrients for 2 weeks. So you can control the nutrients after 2 weeks. The Allmix contains nutrients for the first 6 weeks so you can not feed them as you wish for the first 6 weeks. I would just keep giving plain water till they are 6 weeks old and then start to build up the nutrients. Happy Growing! 😋

Burning from being sprayed with your home made insecticide, plants can not tolerate alcohol!
