Iron deficiency?

Is this a iron deficiency or something else? My plants suffered from nitrogen toxicity recently, but now some of the younger leaves are very light, getting darker the closer you get to the tips. Is this a problem?

Iron deficiencies are super rare.
Most all purpose ferts have iron in them.
I’m assuming you didn’t just hit them with nitrogen alone but an all purpose fert.
And they got too much nitrogen.
All purpose ferts are balanced.
Therefore they would have got lotsa iron just like they got lotsa nitrogen.

Didn’t look at the pictures.
Did you flush?

I tried flushing a couple days in a row. I could only get the ppm runoff down to 900. I haven’t given them anything besides ph water after finding out they were sick a week ago

I’m growing in some miracle grow fertilizer, advanced nutrients, and that’s it. I’ve used some molasses on just water days and that’s about it. I need big help lol

Ok, I switched off my phone to my labtop so I could get a better look.
Those younger leaves look normal, alot of times when a plant grows fast the younger leaves look like that and they green up shortly.
You have red petioles coming in, and I 'can't' see tip burn, maybe I'm wrong?
Looks like it could use a shot of magnesium though.
What lights are you running?
They look like good plants homie!

Ok, so your soil is miracle grow soil?

I think you are over thinking things and jumping to conclusions. I think the miracle grow soil has slow release ferts in it? how much of the advanced are you using? I agree with the mag. Cupping and preying shows that.
I’m not really sure what made you think you had nitro toxicity.

I really think you need to slow down. Your plants are not in need of big help. You flushed them, they are Now lacking in some nutes.
You know what the PPM is, what about the PH?

Thanks!!!! I’m running a maxsisun pb4000. I just got it, was running a mars hydro ts1000 before. I’ll give them some cal-mag next feeding. Seen some copper spots too

Yeah I agree with Calvert. You’re on the right track.
Don’t kill your plants with kindness now and you’ll be fine.

I’d be apt to foiliar feed them right now. You’re doing good man.

Next run I’d recommend coco or promix instead of the miracle grow slow release soil.

I water 6.3 ph but it always comes out in the 7s

You probably didn’t need to flush, but hey it’s done now. With soil, change doesn’t come in a few hours or a day like hydro. You will do 15 things and never know what one cured what.
I’m glad you are checking ph, you obviously read and researched a bit before starting.

DrKiz is right about the soil, in my opinion. I don’t think I would go coco yet, but a good soilless mix like sunshine, pro mix etc. Would do you better next run. I can tell you want to be the main provider and these won’t have any slow release in them.
