Slight Nute Burn - To Flush or Not

[burnnugs]

Last night I fed my plants and this is the first time I introduced nutrients. I'm using FFOF and the fox farm nute trio. They are 5 weeks old and they definitely needed the nutrients. I used the feed schedule and gave them 50% of what fox farm suggests. I woke up this morning to check on them and only a few leave tips are slightly yellow (less that a 3mm). One leave tip is brown but that's one leaf out of hundreds. they don't really look all that bad but I was wondering should I flush them right now or let the plant absorb the rest of the nutrients and just feed pure water next watering. I tried doing all the research I could but got mixed answers. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Are you week 5 in veg?

starting at 1/3rd of recommend feeding is better for newer growers, atleast with ff products.

Big bloom & grow big is the only thing needed in veg, sometimes also cal/mag depending on your water. Did you use the tigerbloom?

The plants autoflowers so they are in 5th week of growth and started flowering last week. I used all 3. I looked at week 5 and used 1/2 of what is suggested for grow big and tigerbloom and big bloom at full strength. And they don't look like they need cal/mag right and I've been feeding them with distilled water since I've planted them. I know I will bring down the nutrient level next time I feed them with fox farms.

And I'm talking about flushing the salts out of the soil to prevent further damage. I took a peek not to long ago and they don't seem to be getting any worse.

Would water with plain water, usualy use half a cap per gallon for first watering then go to full for a couple then increase,

Its just simple nute burn, it happens.

just use water next time then continue feeding with the next watering, be careful with bloom nutes in early flower.

Whats the reasoning for distilled water?

Thanks and I will, definitely going to cut back on the nutes. And I'm using distilled water because I wanted a simple first grow and using distilled water takes the guess work out of dealing with pH and minerals in the water. They are only 60 cents a gallon at Wally world and my plants seemed be really healthy and happy.
