First time growing, and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Worried about yellow tips.

So this is my first time and I’m feeling a bit clueless. I’m using gorilla glue auto flower seeds at about week 4. My plants are already creeping up to the light. I’m about 11 inches away. I’m using a giixer led grow light. I currently have both Light switches on. I just switched to dyna grow bloom nutes. My grow space is about 3 ft tall two feet long and two feet wide. should I be worried about these yellow tips? Is it light stress or nuts burn maybe? Do I need more info?365BE195-7D68-4DFF-82C2-29D913688170.jpeg

Hard to see the yellow tips with the lighting. Looks like only the tips of the tallest new growth. I would think it’s from light burn. However, more information is required along with a better photo. pH, nutes and watering schedule?
If your concern is height why not just top them? They’ll get rid of the yellow tips too.
 
I do 1/4 teaspoon bloom nutes whenever I water which is about every 3 days i don’t know the ph cus I ran out of budget. Is this a better picture?31B270DD-1C1C-4945-82A8-5E12E7A3142A.jpeg

What type of soil are you running? Bloom nutes are usually reserved for flowering stage. What’s the NPK in your bloom nutes.
I’m using coco coir soil. The bloom nutes are dyna grow 3-12-6 which I was told to start at half strength during preflower.

So here's the run down ... thats a really small tent. Its meant for clones and seedlings... autos were not a great idea

I know people think autos stay small, but, well ... they don't. Now photos you can control the height on better. You can go 12/12 from seed to keep them small.

But you are where you are and are growing what your growing... its gonna get crowded.... that light is also not great. You should be alright though, just don't be afraid to bend some branches if they get too close to the light... look into supercropping

The yellow tips are an early sign of nute burn but doesn't look too bad... in the future post pics under natural light so we can see it better

I’d flush em out with pH’d water. Then nute em every other watering while monitoring the progression of the yellow tips.

I’ll make sure I use natural light for photos next time thank you. I can prob build a 4ft box with materials I have at home would that suffice?

Hard to say on the height... most plants can be kept small but GG is a sativa leaner and they can throw out some legs... who's the breeder?

Also, I personally don't think you need to flush ... just ease up on the nutes ... and feed every watering... @Peder1 gave good advice for soil, but in coco you should feed and water every day ...

4 ft height? It may. Many autos dont grow over 24" but you should look up your seed genetics because some are "super" autos and can grow much larger. You'll probably still have to do some training.

I’ve been feeding every other watering with FF big grow 6-4-4. Coco Loco, compost and worm casting soil. Thanks for the tip

Didn't realize you had amended the coco. Thats different.... im not super familiar with that method... in that case I'd water every day but go easy on the feedings

Edit: just realized your not the OP
