2.5 gallon smart pots, Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil, Green Leaf nutrients (Mega Crop), A foxfarm insecticide (don't recall which one), US stock Bava updated 240w full led spectrum UV 385nm IR 730nm Red 660nm LED mix samsung lm301h led grow light with 4 switches.

I have a friend who is doing their first grow. They are growing Bear Creek Kush. They were cruising right along and doing well until about 2 weeks ago. They were about 37 days into 12/12 when I noticed in a pic he shared with me that the tips of his leaves were burnt. It looked like classic nute burn when you get brown tips on your leaves. After pointing it out to them and asking questions I found out that they were actually watering them less than when they were in veg. They had been using a moisture tester and they said that they were going by it. I told them to just start watering them twice a day and hitting them slowly until they got some runoff. I also recommended that they water the fuck out of them 3 days in a row. A flush using just water. So over the course of the next 2 weeks the plants got worse and worse and these are pix from yesterday. This is 2 weeks from the initial burnt tips. At first I thought it was in fact nute burn from essentially not giving them enough water while having them on a regular feeding schedule per Mega Crop. I don't know if the damage was already baked into the cake and there was no stopping the damage or if it is something altogether different going on. Pics aren't the greatest quality but it's all I have to work with. Any thoughts?

They know that my specialty is outdoors. And I didn't didn't give them bad information. It's not my fault that she couldn't get watering figured out.

we don't even know if it was severe nute burn or Not? , have to just take your word?

The highlighted areas is all wrong info for growing in soil in a pot!

And I stand by my original post, you tried to help, and had they just maybe flushed once and continued with proper watering schedule and feedings for soil, their plants would not look like this, your advice didn't help, your advice actually made it worse ..., in the end.

Maybe he’s a water salesman. I’ve never seen anyone suggest to keep putting water through already wet soil day after day. Or twice a day as he put it
