Yellow / brown leaves tips; should I worry ?

Cockpitlouloustarted grow question 3y ago

Hey ! My 3 plants (same strain) are showing yellow / brown leaves tips for a few days, and I'm not sure what it could be. I'm thinking mild potassium deficiency, or perhaps a bit too much nutes ?FYI, I'm strictly following Biobizz chart, every watering. Should I worry ? Thanks !

The brown tips are the result from overfeeding it called nutriet burn you can search it up. Flush your soil with water with the right pH (no nutrients) and use 2 times the pot volume in water. Let the soil dry for 2-3 days. And after you can continue feeding like you did before but use a quarter less to prevent nutrient burning.

The big one is 50cm away from Mars Ts 1000 (150w), smaller ones are 60cm. I think the light is not to close. Help appreciated
