Should I be worried....

Hello all, I'm fairly new to this whole growing thing. I've got one plant and she seems to be doing okay other than the fact that about a 3-4 days before I transplanted her, her leaves started to die on the tips. I laid off the nutes and gave her just water for a few days to no avail. I transplanted her into the ground around week 3-4 of flower hoping that would help and we are now in week 5-6 of flower and it only seems to have gotten worse. pH tested okay so I'm wondering if its not a deficiency or maybe nute lock.... a good friend of mine said that he doubts its a deficiency but just in case told me to put some epsom salt on her just figured I'd get some more opinions from you folks before I make any final/rash decisions. I've attached some photos for you guys. If you need more photos for more details give me a shout.
My usual feeding schedule is Beastie Bloomz, Flora Nova Bloom, Fish Mix (emulsion), Micro-nutrients, and Super Thrive.

Thank you in advance for any advice and tips!!

Nute burn. Slight. Needs magnesium. Looks good really.
I gave her some epsom salt last night and a scaled back dose of nutes. I'm thinking I need to just lay off the nutes all together for awhile because when I went out there she doesn't seem to have improved any. And maybe gotten in a tad worse... I've attached some more photos for you guys. And thank you Hotrod for the input!

Did that plant come from indoors?? My opinion would be transplant shock being that it's flowering and you transplanted it. Also looks like shock coming from inside to direct sunlight. Not a good thing to do. Let is know more info about it all. Don't start dumping a bunch of stuff on it either. Let it be just pH balanced water.

No, she'd been outdoors for for a good few months before I put her in the ground. She was close to the house under the eves so she wasn't in direct sunlight for as long as she is now. When I transplanted her I put bone meal and blood meal down in the hole along with some mykos for root growth stimulation. And do you think I need to lay off the epsom salt too and make it just plain water for a few waterings or a few weeks...? And the tips started to brown up and die a little right before I put her in the ground... so I was hoping that putting her in the ground would help with that thinking she was root bound but it has had the opposite effect... Thank you for your input I really appreciate it!!

Just give it a little time. Won't change right away doesn't look horrible by any means. Just give it pH balanced water for a week and see how she does. Just looks a little stressed it'll be fine. Keep up the great work!!! Post updates in like 4 or 5 days unless it starts to get worse. You can put straw or hay over the topsoil to help the water from evaporating and won't have to water as often. Also draws in worms and worms are plants best friends!!

Always back off nutes, nute companies have pushed us to overfeed tbese poor things bad, then sell ya more product to "fix" it. I say never more than half strenghth and start w a quarter, if they look hungry up it, tney respond fast.

I had all the normal various "deficiencies" using pricey nutes at full bore plus add ons. I quit feed cheap jacks at 1/4 to half strenghth and have yet to have a "deficiency"

What garden tomotoe grower waters high strenghth nutes every water? None! More nutes do not equal more or better weed, nute companies love that most ppl havent realized that

I saw you post a similar post on another thread.. I would agree with you!! I don't ever start off with full strength partly because I'm afraid to burn the poor thing... I mean after all it is a WEED the more we get involved the more harm we seem to do sometimes. They do fine on their own but adding a little of this and that is good just as long as its not over done!
Thank you for your feedback it does not go unappreciated.

No apology necessary man, its all about sharing information and helping each other get the best out of their plants. And its never a bad idea to share new information with people, even if you've said it before. Had I not happened upon that page I wouldn't have read that. Like I said I appreciate any and all feedback!

Valid point.

Funny thing is when i wrote reply to your thread i was thinking to myself, "cut n paste would be faster"...lol. Cuz most any nute prob i have the same thought. And i do like spreading the word that expensive nutes are not neccessary and we make our job harder listening to their schedules! I guess the excitement hasnt worn off yet, ive been a low nute guy only a year now... havent yet went through the $50 of jacks and calnitrate i bought a year ago yet!

My breaking point was when one night i thought of all the crap i was blowing big money on and all the yeild and potency increase promises and i added it up and realized off my original grows just using a base nute i should be yielding about 4 lbs a bulb, and an overused 400w one at that! Lol. Thats exagerated but the gist of its true...
