Looks like nuts burn.I'm not professional, as I just finishing my first run, but I did the same mistake. Watering only when the 1st inch of top of the soil is dry. Most of the soil mixes contains nutrients due to pre fertilized, and some soils even contains slow release nutrients, so I prefer to use half the dose as recommended by the manufacturer. Always check the runoff water, and measure the ph and ppm. If it's below 600ppm and ph < 7 you are good. the ppm will get higher and higher as the plant grows. In the last weeks should be arould 1500ppm. It's very very important to check runoff water, I didn't checked until I noticed my plant stunned because overwatering and overfeeding. Now look my plants small as fck. Next time I will try coco-mix because coco is not pre fertilized.

Growing at school was fun… 😊 You must know that Pro mix soil is already pre-fertilized. It’s good enough to last about 3,4, weeks depending on the pot size. Adding nutrients in week 2 wasn’t the best thing to do. What’s happening now is the EC ( Electrical Conductivity ) level of the soil is too high. Nutrients are minerals, those minerals turns into Sodium Chloride ( NaCl, table salt ) when they’re not used entirely by the plant. The soil turns into an hypertonic environment where the fluids gets sucked out of the plants because of the osmotic pressure in the roots zone. My best advice is to get an EC/TDS meter to control the Electrical Conductivity and Total Dissolved Solids of your feeding solution and soil. After watering, you just need to take a sample from the drain to analyze it and check the EC levels. At this stage of the growth, your plants should be fed only with bio stimulants like Humic Fulvic and amino acids, with some enzymes to boost the microorganisms in the soil and roots development. You’re supposed to feed only when the nutrients in the soil starts to get used up, around beginning of the fourth week at 600 ppm on the TDS scale of your meter. Don’t follow blindly nutrients manufacturers feeding schedule, they’re built to make you use more and make you re supply faster. Growing Cannabis is easy despite there’s a deep science and requires years of studies, just follow the 3 main rules, not too much light, not too many nutrients, with the right amount of water.

Yeah if you have gave the plant nutrients I would go up just a little autos do not like to be overfeed. I would also suggest changing your light schedule to a 18/6 so the plant has time to rest , 24 hours on is not necessary trust me. If you want anymore advice about autos send me a chat anytime.

Yes you need to give the plant stronger dose of whatever you use as nutrients supplements.
