yellow leaf tips

"I've noticed yellow leaf tips on one of my plants. My watering pH was 6.5, and EC was 1.6. Today, I flushed it with osmosis water (pH 6.5), and the drainage water had a pH of 6.2 and EC of 1.0. Is the problem resolved now, or do you have any other suggestions?

Looks like slight nutrient burn. The leaves are looking extra lush in the picture and a bit shiny, this is likely from to much N for its stage of growth. AN brand likes you to overfeed their products so you buy more of their products, Not a huge fan of their product lineup I find there are other well rounded less bottle feeds for much less money. Look into JACKS or Terraquuata aka GH re brand after GH sold out to Scott's miracle grow. Also with liquid nutriets you always want to get some runoff to prevent buildup in the medium. Soil is hard to do this with if it is not well draining. So in that case Feed - Water every other time. Or Feed - Water - Water so it does not build up and cause issues all depends how heavily your feeding them. Here is a leaf chart for some help identifying other things. save it to your desktop for easy reference. https://420life.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marijuana-Leaf-Deficiency-Chart-scaled.jpg Few other things in your grow I would look at is the lighting at 20hr on and 4 off. I tend to only give max 18hr on, All depends on how much DLI you giving the plant. Goodle DLI is its new to your, I've been told the Wiki article is pretty good. The feed strength. Max would be 1.4EC lowe end 1EC for me till the plants are bigger. just food for thought don't not need to fixed just a few things I would have changed a bit. Good Luck!

issues of fertilization don't happen overnight unless you did something incredibly wrong. So a flush won't resolve anything if you don't correct the imbalance of rate of provision vs rate of use. It's piling up over a long period of time if the formula is good. the longer it took to turn into a toxicity means a smaller adjustment is needed to the formula. Leaves look too dark, so too much N is a possibility.. so is too much Mg and another thing or two. These symptoms are not discrete. Since it also looks a bit glossy, i'd lean N-tox related. Burnt tips are soemthing different and also caused by several things. P/K/S all potential issues. A leaf chart is very useful. Tracking how you feed over time is also helpful in diagnosing the problems seen. You need to cross reference more information than just what the leaves tell you or it amounts to a guess in most situations. The pH swing is probably a bit bigger than you want, but neither 6.2 or 6.5 will lock things out. You may see some wavy growth from the days this fluctuated but if pH remains fairly steady going forward, then that won't continue. it affects rate of growth so you get some leaves that might grow a bit funky. So, i'd adjust the product with most N and least impact on other parts of nutrient balance - drop it 10% and see how it goes. If darkness continues to increase, drop it further. If toxicities start to cause real damage, another flush might be necessary. Reserve flushing for extreme situations. it's rough on the plant.
