Light burn?

I'm growing sweet seeds sweet skunk I'm about 49 days in from sprout and the leafs started getting super dry and crumbly idk what's going on! It's in a 5 gallon bucket with MG moisture control *i know shush!* is it just because my light was to close? It's a 150 watt hps and it was about 1 foot away maybe a little less...will the plant ever recover from this?

Btw it is just the top leafs the bottom are just fine I'm just wanting to make 100% sure I haven't royally screwed myself over

Any help would be great at this point

It does look like light burn some what. It's only 150W HPS, your distance looks good.
IMO- I think you have some other issues going on. Calcium deficiency. Your leaf tips look white, Magnesium deficiency.
Check your feeding schedule, Check your growing mediums pH,
IMO- it's a good idea to use Cal/Mag every month as a preventative supplement.
I've grown skunk before 'Skunk #1" it can be a harder strain to grow.



Good Luck on Your Grow.

Thanks I'm just kinda worried about adding anything in there because the mg already has the nutes and stuff in there with time release stuff I think I messed up with using the mg but this is my first grow and I didn't want to get it to complicated

I recommend leaving it how it is and you should get a good harvest soon without any problems

Okay the worst could happen is get early bud lmfao

That's one of that bad things about time released nutrients.
They might not be available when the plant needs them.

The other bad thing about time released is there hard to flush out of the soil.

IMO- I'd give her some nutrients 1/4 - 1/2 strength, get some Cal/Mag
Make sure your pH is good.

I use MG MC soil all the time, and usually start feeding around 20-25 days from sprout, but that looks to me like a Ca, and possibly a K deficiency on top of that.
It would be much easier to tell what colors you have there with normal light.
You're not the first one to ask 'what is this', with tainted pics.
It would also help us if you divulged the info of what, if anything you have fed until now, and what your temps and PH are.

Def looks like a ph issue......I used MG soil a few grows back with no problem (not moisture control tho), didnt add anything until she showed signs of needing something.....with ph wayyyy off or searious nute lock or block, things can get crispy in a hurry !
