leafs tips burn (nutrient burn / light stress / .. ?)

About 40% of leaf tips show burn, 5 days after last feeding (Biobizz schedule, but 3× stronger than previous one). Medium: Biobizz Lightmix. DLI 47 center / 38 corners. Day 31 (autoflower, early flower). Temp 22-27C, 55-62% RH. Feeding today—should I lower nutes or any advice?

Hey there! 😊 From the looks of it, those brown tips are likely caused by a mild nutrient burn. Your feeding schedule looks pretty active, and it’s easy to slightly overdo it—especially during the early stages of flowering when the plants are still adjusting. It could also be a bit of light stress if your LEDs are running close and strong. If the damage is mostly on the top leaves nearest the light, raising the fixture a little or dimming slightly could help. To correct it, I’d suggest giving a light flush with pH-balanced water (around 6.3–6.5), and ease up just a bit on the next few feedings. Check how the new growth looks—if it’s healthy and green, you're back on track! You're doing great—small issues like this are totally normal. Happy growing and good luck with the rest of the run! 🌱✨

in addition to the rest, that's too much dli in center. even if a plant adapts to it, it's not using the excess energy and just wasting electricity and adding extra heat. CO2 is the limiting factor for photosynthesis. There's no circumventing that. Unless you are boosting co2, it's not making use of that excess light. could be contributing to chlorosis and thin leaves at top, but so could an over-abundance of P and/or K, which also sounds plausible given description.

Be thorough with leeching if you do decide to flush and reset ec, No3- nitrogen is highly mobile in soil. Nh4+ is immobile in soil and will not readily leech. both nitrogen deficiency and excess can delay flowering development in plants. A moderate amount of nitrogen is crucial for vegetative growth and early flowering, but excessive or deficient nitrogen levels can negatively impact the flowering timing. In future I would stick to mineral fertilizer that is readily available for uptake. For a easier time controlling what's going on inside the medium.

Everything your feeding is organic. What does that mean? It's not readily available for uptake until microorganisms break it down into more palatable size. Why does that matter? Nitrification is process by which plants converts organic nitrogen firstly into nh4+ then processes that into no3- At ph of 6.2 nitroficTion is about 20% as efficent as it would be at 7.0. Your ec if full, but all your nitrogen is locked up organically not broken down yet and as nh4+ But is not being converted to no3- fast enough this will turn your medium acidic. When ammoniacal nitrogen exceeds 20% if the total nitrogeb it can lead to various detrimental effects, including inhibited growth, reduced photosynthesis, and potential tissue damage. Excessive ammonium can disrupt nutrient uptake, particularly calcium, and lead to an imbalance in carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Best of luck with recovery.

Hey 👋 Yep, looks like slightly overdosed. But nothing crazy so far. Just give them plain water next 1-2 times and everything should be fine. Do you use the fertilizer with each watering ? BioBizz recommends to feed max. 2-3 times a week acc. To schedule.

Yo bro, that’s early nute burn nothing crazy yet, but it’s def showing on those tips. Probably just from the sudden jump in strength. If you tripled the feed compared to last time, especially in Light-Mix, it makes sense. That soil already holds some stuff, and organics can build up slowly. Dial it back a bit today. You don’t need to flush unless you went really overboard, but I’d drop things like: Root Juice, roots are done, save the bottle. TopMax can stay, just keep it low. Bio-Grow only if they look hungry, otherwise focus on Bio-Bloom. Try sticking around 5–6 ml/L total for now and see how they react. Your girls still look healthy and happy overall — this is just a heads-up from the plant, not a full problem yet. You caught it on time. 🔍💪 Let us know how they look after the next watering 👌

Ja. 150% wären völlig ausreichend gewesen, deswegen würde ich jetzt „nur“ mit 100% gießen und wenn sie sich erholt hat, auf 150-200% vom BioBizz Schema erhöhen. 200%sind dabei für Strains wie die Critical gedacht, denen kann man fast nicht zu viel geben. 300% ist echt viel…
