Information is as important as the pictures. First start with checking your ph, then your ppm. As well you should note temperature.

And are you using RO water? Cuz to me, that looks more like a possible cal/mag deficiency than nute burn. The nute burn I'm familiar with (and boy am I familiar with that asshole "Nute"....lol) starts at the edges/tips of leaves and is much more pronounced. Hence the term "burn"

Good luck

PH will creep up as the plant uses nutrients, as it should. I change my water every 3rd or 4th day. I only check PH when I mix my nutes. Set it and forget it, don't worry about it. On top of that, not every single leaf will grow in perfect.

Also heat, don't worry about RO water. Get yourself a good Hanna meter PH/TD/EC meter.

Looks like you might have a little nute burn going on. The leaves are VERY plush a little TO plush....

Cal-Mag is more of a flowering deficiency.
