Yellowish Light Green Tips

Here are my girls. They look healthy enough but I can't help but wonder what those light greenish yellow tips mean. I've noticed it throughout their life cycle and I assume it's normal so I'm just curious what is happening inside the plant.

It means your feeding right on the edge of overfeeding. Don't feed more than you are. But I think they look great.

Thanks for your reply mmjmon. Just a little background in case it triggers any other thoughts: These plants are 5 days into a fresh transplant from a 3 quart pot to a 5 gallon. When I did the transplant, I only did a heavy water (no feed) and used Azos beneficial bacteria in the new pots. Also, I am growing in Promix HP with mychorrizhae.

That being said, I had planned on feed them in 48 hours. They have acclimated to their new pots nicely (as you can see) and they are getting light (aka ready for water). So should I not feed this time around and only water?

Feed. Ease up on the nitrogen.

Thanks hotrodharley. I have been cheaping it on their nitrogen and using miracle grow. What is a better supplement for their nitro needs?

Jungle Juice is really cheap and good. But I've used a lot of cans of Miracle Gro. Use it half strength until you flower. Then anything for flowers like azaleas or rhododendrons will be fine on the cheap.
