Possible nutrient burn ?

I鈥檓 pretty sure this is nutrient burn but it鈥檚 weird because I鈥檝e only given a tiny dose of nutrients so far. Less than a quarter of recommended dose and probably less than I鈥檝e ever given an auto before. What do people think ? Nutrient burn ?

me pas贸 lo mismo en DWC, personalmente no tuvo consecuencia alguna en el crecimiento y no se sigui贸 desarrollando, pero investigu茅 y llegue a la conclusi贸n que pod铆an ser 2 cosas: 1_ Exceso de luz, podr铆an ser quemaduras de la propia luz. 2_ Algo relacionado al calmag, que casualmente se relaciona mucho con un exceso de nitr贸geno, es decir, si hay exceso de nitr贸geno, la planta no absorber谩 correctamente el calmag por lo que podr铆a mostrar una deficiencia por exceso de nitr贸geno. Si las hojas de la planta estan muy oscuras, te recomiendo que bajes un poco la dosis de nitr贸geno de los fertilizantes que lo contengan. En caso de que las hojas est茅n de color normal ( como puedo ver en las fotos, aunque no se bajo que color de luz est谩n ), podr铆as agregar calmag en baja dosis para ver que pasa, aunque si es tu 煤nico s铆ntoma no considero que sea un problema. De todas formas, yo sub铆 un poco mis luces, agregue un poco de calmag y el nuevo crecimiento fue normal sin problemas, no es algo de que preocuparse, saludos!

To make sure that the soil does contains the right amount of nutrients and is within the right pH range you can water the pot till you've got 20% from the pot volume as runoff. Measure the runoff and check if the runoff doesn't contain a too high EC or pH value. It is better to give nutrients every other watering to prevent build up salts and nutrients. And water twice a month till 20% runoff and measure.

Nutrient burn turns the tips orange buddy :) This would be the start of some kind of defiancey i would say calmag by looking at it but it also could be nitrogen you do know you can get burnt tips by not enough feed too its the same symptom :) Best of luck buddy I'm sure a good feed will sort it right out.

With such a low dose, I don't think so.. and the only thing other than what i think it is, Is excess N, but your leafs aren't a deep green. That and what you're giving, I give my seedling 4x that of alga grow. It looks to me as it's from overwatering. And your roots are finding it hard to breath. You need to pull back on the feeds. Or partly feed 1 side. As a young plant can find it hard to fully dry out her sub, and roots need to breath. And when they can't that is a symptom. That you overfed maybe once or twice, not saying its a common problem, but is results of drowning roots..
