Haha.. Never that bro! We're both here to help! I was looking at the two buds in the forefront of the pic.. The two lower buds in front of the damaged leaves..
So with the new pics, that plant still has weeks left to go.. It's not end of life.. It's mid flower.. The new pics show a lot of tip/nute burn which is only caused by overfeeding. Can you post details of your feed schedule and dosage? Do tou have a ppm/ec meter? Ph meter?
Is that per liter or per gallon?
Hi mate, it’s my first grow so all I’m doing is following the biobizz feed chart and reducing it by half some times even less, as I learned the hard way on one and gave it to much nitrogen and it got n toxic, but this one with every water I’ve been doing 0.5 grow, 1lm bloom and 0.5 top max, that’s roughly twice a week being careful not to over water, I was going 1m grow previously but lowered it as it in flower, I don’t know how or have the stuff to check the ppm etc as I’m growing in organic soil and read it would buffer the ph it self, I know I will learn on my next grow as I think I should all this stuff thb
That’s per litre
Sooo... I grow organic, and one of the biggest mistakes new growers make is confusing soil ph and nutrient ph. Organic growers don't use bottled nutes, that's why we don't ph anything.. The ph buffering you read about is talking about the soil buffer. In organics, the rhizosphere buffers ph if needed. But you are using bottled nutes, and unless it states that it doesn't need to be ph'd, then it needs to be ph'd. I think bio bizz even sells organic ph up/down.
I go by what the plant says, not by feed charts. And your plant is speaking quite a bit. Something has caused an excess.. It's up to you (us) to figure out what and why.. The tip burn is a dead giveaway and good place to start... When did you start feeding? Do you feed (add nutrients) every watering?
Right ok thanks for explaining that to me I need to look into this and take action for my next grow or even now!, I started feeding it on week 2, starting at 1ml per litre, yes I’ve added nutrients with every water, but someone on here told me I shouldn’t be doing that and be doing just plain water at least every 2nd feed and another guy said he feeds then waters twice etc, so now what I’m doing is going less on the nutes and starting to just water once after 2 feeds, would you say thats correct, because I also read that the light mix doesn’t have much nutrients in the soil so maybe I’m over doing it
Sorry mate that’s what I followed, going off the biobizz feeding schedule so it was 1/8 of grow on week 2

That could definitely explain the nute burn. You will come up with a watering/feeding schedule that works for you.. It takes practice, and a ppm meter, lol.. In soil, the most common watering/feeding schedule is feed-water-water-feed.. On the 2nd water only day you can check the ppm of the run off.. If it's lower than what the feed mix was, the plant is feeding fine. It's using the nutrients that are available. The issue with back to back feedings in soil, or using nutes every time, is that you are always adding more to the soil and not giving the plant time to use what was already there. That's how an excess can happen...
How often you feed is relevant to how much you feed.. Lighter feeds can be given more often, heavier feeds may need 3 water only days in between.. That's where knowing your feed ppm comes into play.. If your mix is 1000 ppms, then you would use water only until the run off was like 4-500.. Then feed again.. If your mix is 300ppms, you can probably feed every other day.
But at this point you just want to stop the issue from spreading. Autos have zero recovery time so you wanna check the basics (like ppms of your feeds, your plain water, and of some run off) and try to get her to harvest without the issue getting worse.
The pic you posted from fast buds does not match what you say you've been feeding. Im kind of confused now.. Weeks 2-4 on bio bizz grow feed chart says to use 2ml per liter.. That's 8ml per gallon.. The fast buds chart you posted says to use 1/8th nute ratio week 2.. That would be 1ml of bio grow per gallon.. You say you started week 2 at 1ml per liter, or 4ml per gallon.. Either way.. The only way to know what's best at this point is to check the ppms..
