diy soil mix (see Week 0) got only pH'd tap water, compost tea and banana tea. started showing strong signs of nutrient burn recently and some spots on the oldest leaves I haven't seen before. so, how do I manage her to harvest? since I can't cut back on the nutes ...

To be honest, for me this is such a mild symptom I wouldn't care. Regarding the question, in my opinion: Since your soil is a strong living mix (compost + Terra Preta), the nutrient burn is coming from the natural breakdown, not liquid feeding. Don't flush hard – that would damage the microbiology. Instead, water only with plain pH 6.2–6.5 water, a little extra runoff (if you water with run off), and let the soil self-balance. No more compost teas or extras for now. Focus on healthy new growth, and the plant should ride it out fine until harvest.

Hey there your soil oh is acidic it’s down below 5.5 getting close to 5 Just run a few gallons of plain tap water thru the soil and you will be good Trust me it’s a simple fix you are barely showing signs of acid burns not nutrient burn Good luck

hey growmie, you’re still early in flower, so it’s good you caught this now. your soil mix is a little strong, the burnt tips and clawing show it. not a disaster, but if you don’t balance it, it could slow her down later. i'd let the pot dry out a bit more before each watering, then give just plain tap water for now, light watering only, no heavy runoff. no feeding unless she starts showing new yellowing. goal now: stabilize the roots, keep her happy through flowering. you're in a good spot to fix it, just keep it steady. good luck bro ✌️
