Leaf tips show a nutritional problem. Maybe Ca deficiency but adding extra of it since the beginning and or P excess. Thinking when time for nutrient flush. Maybe some degree of nutrient flush in combination with Ca? What do you think See week 14 for detailed question text

flushing is something to avoid not incorporate into a normal process. you inevitably strip away a lot more than whatever the problem is don't think it's ca related, and the fact you've been adding 'some' makes it less likely too... does it add up to ~100 elemental ppm or more? If so, it's very unlikely Ca-deficiency. This is the great thing about soilless growing. Since you add all nutrients, it's easy to learn where your upper and lower thresholds are for elemental ppm. Elemental ppm is more accurate than a TDS pen converting EC to ppm. The fact there are 3 or 4 different conversion factors to do so tells you how inaccurate those TDS pens are at giving a ppm value. EC is accurate, but it can be converted 1 of several ways all of which will tell you a wildly different PPM value, lol. You are 7 wweeks into flower and have good ripening of calyxes. I wouldn't change much and definitely don't do anything drastic like stripping all the nutrients from your substrate with a flush. That'll just make things worse. Free apps and web pages can calculate elemental ppm from your gauranteed analysis labels. N 80-100 P 40-60 K 180-200 Ca 100+ Mg 75ish S 100+ If anything is drastically off those ppms, it's your likely culprit - directly or indirectly (inhibited due to competition of something too high). no guessing like with soil. take advantage. keep notes on this stuff over time as feeding is about cumulaative behaviour from the beginning and not just last night or last week.

In answer to your diary question........don't do anything. A couple of spots on a couple of leaves is not a sign of any real problem, they are just spots............you are over thinking things. No plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time. "Nutrient flush" is not ever needed unless a MASSIVE overdose is given by mistake and only effective if done immediately afterwards. You are that close to harvest that there is nothing you can do to affect a noticable "cure" of any problem, real or imaginary. Plant looks slightly over fed long term though..........giving 10 or more different fertilizers in the hope of achieving some sort of magical result is never a good idea. Multiple weak doses of many products is much worse than good doses of just a few products.

usually they'll start changing their tastes up around this time in flower, if you don't flush usually there is a finishing blend of nutrients if you flush just start flushing in a week or two

Do not flush your plant at this stage. Its just a touch of tip burn due to a slight over fertalization.I wouldnt worry about it.I guess the excess of phosphorus is from a booster.Some pk boosters are very strong.They're almost all based on the horticulture industry like tomatos and pepers.They're mostly 13/14 and 18/19 but some are 50/40 and they ruin the taste of the bud.One of the few that was developed on cannabis is advanced nutrients big bud which is only 1/3 which shows you how strong they are.This is not the best place for information.I constantly see bad advice being given out.Opinions are opinions but the facts remain.

Braune Blattspitzen bei deinen ladys können auf verschiedene Probleme hinweisen. Häufige Ursachen sind: Nährstoffbrand: Überdüngung kann zu verbrannten Blattspitzen führen. Mangelerscheinungen: Ein Mangel an Phosphor, Kalium oder Magnesium kann ebenfalls braune Spitzen verursachen. Hitzestress: Zu hohe Temperaturen können die Blätter schädigen. Was sagt dein Runoff? Welchen PH wert und EC wert hat dieser? Der solte zwischen 6 und 6.5 beim PH sein und EC nicht über 2. Wenn der darüber liegt dann kannst du sie mit ph angepasstem Wasser Spülen. Aber sieht noch nicht so schlimm aus.
