Should I start fertilizing or monitor the pH?

Hi, I'm a beginner, about 10 days after switch, my lower and slightly higher leaves started showing signs of damage. I grow them in a greenhouse in strong sunlight, but I think that they don't get burned, I haven't fertilized them even once. What do you think of this?

Burnt leaf tips, like yours, are most commonly a sign of nutrient burn. If you’re growing in organic soil, it might be slightly hotter than she likes. The good news it’s very minimal and some might actually call it ideal. We’re growing buds not leaves. The leaves can guide us, but in the end they die off or end up in the trim bin. You’re doing fine imo. Let her ride!!👍👍

in my oppinion you should always monitor both. But as said by another grower, looks like nutrient burn.

So when switching to flower, it will be looking for more pk. It looks like possible potassium deficiency, however im not sure its deficient. To me it appears this is watering habits. Substrate looks pretty wet and the leaves are folding down with a ripple look to it. Like they're holding too much water. If your mix isnt airy enough, you suffocate the roots and it can cause all kinds of deficiencies or worse root damage. I would allow for some more dry back between watering. Easier to fix an underwater situation than over watered one. To be honest I did not check to see if you have a diary. If you have not fed yet, yes you will need to feed too, unless you're using a prefertilized soil that still has enough nutes in it. Runoff ec test will be good enough to answer if there's anything in the soil. Or do a slurry test. More accurate than a runoff test and keeps what's in the soil in the soil, rather than flushing it out to test. Just my thoughts, Best of Luck! Happy Growing!
