Light green top leaves with burnt tips on White Widow Auto

I've noticed that most of the top/new leaves are turning light green, with the very tips of the leaves browning and looking burnt. The lower/older leaves seem mostly fine. Can you help me understand what the problem is? Nute burn, heat stress, or something else?

have you increased light at all lately? may take weeks to show such thing, so even if it was a while back. A less optimal environment may have caused the light given to exceed what the plant can handle too... consider any climate changes last couple weeks. otherwise, starting at the top helps eliminate possiblities if it is related to nutrition... it'll be a less mobile nutrient, if any. there are some toxicities that cause chlorosis in top growth -- too much P or K could do that, but you'd usually see coinciding problems from it also. Too much P would also cause some leaf tip and margin burns. These are at least somewhat mobile nutes, but the toxicity symtpoms are at the top. Can rule out low S, as the chlrosis isn't progressing petiole-and-out. A couple trace elements could cause chlorosis up top, but those would be rare and may not tie in with the burns. I'd wager slightly too much light, but could be wrong. If progression was slow, would require a very minor adjustment.. .few percent less power or a 1/2" more height etc... good start and see what happens with rate of progression. gotta do it..

Hey, I think it’s a combination of light stress + a light nute burn. When the light is too strong, the plant breaks down chlorophyll faster than it can replace it, causing the pale look. How much watt, Ec and distance from light to canopy are you running right now ?
