Can any of you master growers out there offer a bit of advice on this please?

I noticed the top leaves have been sprouting with a slight yellowing on the tip but then as the leaf grows, the yellow disappears. Today, one of the leaf tips looks unhealthy and I’m not sure it’ll recover. Have I burned it and should I flush it? Only fed once with a light dose.

Quite simply, this is burning from too much nitrogen. Even though you only gave one mild feed, it indicates that your soil mix is plenty rich enough in nutrients to not require any extra feeding as yet. No need to do anything, just don't give any fertilizers containing nitrogen or high amounts of potassium. The super dark green leaves indicate plenty of N/P/K is available still. A seaweed extract or fulvic/humic acid will boost health and growth without adding nitrogen. This is something you could give them if you feel you need to do "something". Otherwise just keep giving plain water and maybe try another mild feed in 10-14 days time......quarter strength to half strength maximum. Once leaves are damaged, they generally stay damaged. Remember too......... It is very, very easy to remedy a slightly underfed plant, but very, very difficult to rescue a burned and damaged overfed plant!

I am not an expert but through my own problems.. I have to say I agree with Organoman. I had not much knowledge and thought I had deficiencies or light issues because of the slight yellowing on the leaves (like yours). I backed off my lights, went crazy about runoff, stopped feeding, various things. Then developed what I suspected to be magnesium deficiency. Gave micros with tons of nitrogen included (I didn’t realize. Basically the whole cause - I’m figuring was just nitrogen toxicity that led me to a bunch of unnecessary things. The leaves looked just like yours in the beginning.

Check your pH and make sure not to overwater. If it recovers on its own, it might have to do with a slightly high pH. You can check how much buffer the soil has if you have a soil pH tester or by checking the runoff. Those would be the first steps I would take; otherwise, don’t worry, our favorite plant can handle a little stress.

Are they autos? And do you mean they are yellow as new growth appears? I’d so it’s likely that it’s flowering and completely nprmal
