Deficiency or burn

Doesn't seem any different.
Promix with added perlite.
Judge by weight.
7 gallon pot gets 2-4 gallons of water depending on how much runoff I want.


The larger plant is the one with issues.
Smaller plant seems fine. Other than some burnt tips. Same feeding schedule and it has less soil, even though it is in a 7 gallon pot as well.

Definitely important to treat each plant differently based on it's needs. If one plant is telling you something all the others aren't, you should listen to that plant and let the others be and vice versa.
Inconsistent watering can actually cause problems depending on what's happening to the plant in the root zone. I'm not sure what you mean by 2-4 gal based on how much run off you want. What are you basing your desired run off from? Also even if the pot is heavy, if it's dried out in the middle and top the plant will be sad. I've had soils hold moisture in the bottom and take forever to dry out to baseline but the middle and top were bone dry like a desert. Drainage, and airflow are key here to keep the moisture correct throughout the grow.
Obviously these are things you'd have to fill in some blanks to help pin point it but it could be a few things like nute burn/build up, watering practices, ect.
If it's not getting worse it sounds like maybe something happened that maybe you're overlooking and whatever that was isn't happening how. Did she dry out more than usual or stay moist longer than usual before all these signs popped up?

Fabric pots. So it's fairly easy to tell how dry they are. I'll give more runoff at times to make sure there's no excess salt build up.

They are 6 weeks since flip today.
They are drinking water fast.

I bumped up the nutes in the past couple weeks to make sure I wasn't underfeeding.

I'm just trying to figure out if this plant needs to continue heavy feedings for another week or 2.
Or if I should back off some.

Ok cool. So after combing the pictures you posted and reading everything you've said I'm will to bet you're topping out you potassium. Burnt tips, spotting as if deficient in calcium/magnesium, yellow leaf margins, all signs. If leaves like the one I've highlighted are turning brown, and falling off this would be another indication.

I'm no genius and certainly not an expert. Based on what you've told us and the size of those plants in the photos, that seems like a lot of water & nutes to me. The plants can only handle so much. Good luck with your grow.

It takes 3 gallons of water before I see any runoff.
3 teaspoons per gallon is recommended.
Plants is a lot larger than it looks.
Thanks for your input tho.

Just a couple weeks from harvest. There's several ounces there anyway. Don't need your luck to finish. Lol

How much water do you recommend for a 7 gallon pot. Lol

What is the proper watering amount ?
I don't see run off until the 3rd gallon.

They've only had 2 feedings at full strength. I purposely bumped up feedings to cause burn on the tips so I knew when to dial it back

I just wanted to confirm it was burn and not a deficiency.

I've already cut back nutes 2 feedings ago.

Just wanted to confirm it's not still hungry.

Realy red stems ,yellowing leaves, tip burns, changing feed amounts and differnt water amounts, is starting to make me think you may have multiple issues going on.. possible lockout is what i think you may have now.. i didnt see any where you mention ph.. what is your ph now at run off (dont go checking now if you just watered/fed) and whats your ph of you nutes after mixing in water.. ?
