leaves starting to burn?

hello, my purple queen leaves are starting to burn and some are curly. i don't know why. i give it fertilizer once per week like i was instructed, the fertilizer is called "terra canna vega" they are outdoors and get a lot of sun. (30-35 degrees) what could it be? is it nutrien burn? or something else?

Back off the nutes. What soil is that? Looks pretty woody.

it's a mix of different soils i made, should be good stuff... the burning only happen the last 2 days...

That plant looks small to be giving fertilizers, unless the soil that it is growing in doesn't have much in it.

Is it a liquid fertilizer or the time release stuff? Seems a bit early (like said above) to be hitting with nuts, I'd back it off. Have you PH'd the soil? That could be the root of your issues, if the soil already has nuts and/or is "hot" and you're adding MORE burning most definitely will occur. Good luck!

When weird stuff happens, I always check the PH of the water I am using. Anything between 6 and 7 seems to work fine. Rarely is the PH of commercial soil off but water often is. I don't use a fancy meter although I do have one. I just use regular PH strips. If the water is even the slightest bit alkaline, it can cause problems.
