Organic slow-release amendments...How does an excess occur? I thought that couldn't happen :-/

While these gals are super healthy and look great (What do you think?), I'm looking for high-standard criticism/advice. Are these leaves too dark (Slight claw on certain leaves, N excess?)? Also see very minor tip burn. I'm using organic slow-release amendments...?

Nitrogen is the most abundant in terms of % for plant, Pottasium 2nd, Nitrogen is also the most sensitive in terms of toxicity of all the macro and micronutrients, once the plant stops veg growth and gets past the stretch the need for nitrogen is almost gone. N & K share the largest nutrients highways or "channels", at a certain point in flower you want 100% of those channels pumping potassium up that channel, any nitrogen uptake detracts from the "capacity" of those channels, also any slow release nitrogen at this point as its no longer needed, coupled with nitrogen being very sensitive it can lead to toxicity. Plants look beautiful and are you really feeding if tips are not a little burnt? :) mid to late flower in a perfect world we want the soil void of nitrogen, this will also cause the plant to start cannibalising existing NITROGEN which is a "mobile nutrient" Once it is depleted from the soil the plant will "eat" or "reallocate" existing nitrogen within veg growth and use it to make new flowers, this is why you see some grows turn yellow ass the chlorophyll degrades other carotenoids, purples reds, yellows will show through, this will also help vastly with smoothness if performed in conjunction with a perfect long slow dry/cure. hope it helps brothaaaaaaa from the big mother!

You know when you see that super hot chick at the gym working out and you think there is absolutely zero improvement possible there. Yeah, same here. Those flowering females look perfect and only need to work out for maintenance. Zero improvement needed. Keep doing whatever it is you're doing and stop looking in the mirror so much.

Organic amendment = as nature created it The process of packing the soil with all the nutrition it could ever need allows all the nutrients to be absorbed by the plant's own discretion, nature never overfeeds itself. Slow release is actively releasing a constant stream of more & more nitrogen, it's still all very "organic" as a soil amendment, but overfeeding is overfeeding, organic or not.

at this point probably senescence. leaves age. they don't look too dark. some clawing and minor tip burn like you said. if they're a bit glossy, you know you can tone down the N next time a few weeks prior. problems that show up late are slowly progressing and require small adjustments. with slow release amenments.. maybe a tiny bit less added. more than one way to skin that cat. if you are adding anything that's another avenue to affect change. i wouldn't make any drastic change though. Usually i'd say it's easier to add than take away, but when you are close, it's good to push the upper boundary a bit.
