So I came home from work today to look at my lady’s and noticed the tips yellowing also on on plants leaf it has brown spots on it I you’re all dry amendments and very low dose for a top dress Neem meal fish bone meal bio live feather meal alfalfa meal bat guano kelp meal and and insect frass with 2 cup of worm castings did all of them for half of the recommended dose for a gallon pot witch I’m in 3 gallon pots pot mixed them all in a bowl and top dressed all 6 with that dose so way under the recommendation any tips or suggestions would be great don’t know if it’s nutrient burn or potassium deficiency or light is to close raised the light will post pictures
Nut burn or potassium deficiency or light to close

Maybe an ointment for nut burn? Aloe maybe?

It would help if you took pics without the blurple. You gave a bunch of stuff. Just give water only for awhile. It's not K deficiency.
Will do water was kinda my thought the ppm readings were hi so I figured next water I would water till run of first time using dry amendments it’s definitely hard to get a look with that light need to upgrade for sure kind pulled them out the closet after a few years will get better pictures

Why are you checking ppm readings and how? And watering to runoff is a bad idea if you're using dry amendments.

Run off is pointless in organics. You'd have better luck digging it up & putting in fresh soil.
So one plant last week I watered just enough to fill the bottom of a cup to stick my blue lab in and check the ppm it was around 2000 and ph was like 6.2 just out of curiosity
And I did use a lot of different amendments but the volume of each was very small so in a sense I did us a lot I don’t really want to re pot with new soil because they are just barely Burt and the rest seam fine but if they continue to get worse I will definitely consider that a option as to watering till run of I will not If it won’t have any benefit figured that would help in some way but Ik that organic growing is way different I will just continue to only use water I did raise the light to give them some room to grow hopefully that will let them take up some nutrients I have been keeping the light close to keep them smaller until closer to outdoor season for space reasons

Instead of adding all those, why not just get an all in one, where they have it mixed in the right proportions, and use that instead? Once you've learned, then start adding the individual amendments as needed.

I've used dte rose and flower, for flower. I've used bas craft blend full cycle. It works well. Either way an all in one is better, until you get your feet wet. At least ime.

Ppm readings are useless in organic soil.. Google it..
