Nute burn? Light burn? Or something else

Hey everyone I’m at the end of flowering with two plants in soil. I fed them one last time before I was going to flush for two weeks and I think I may have burned them. I was using 1/2 Tbs per gallon of dr. Earth organic bloom. but it’s only at the top of the plants really and after flushing now it seems to still be progressing a little bit, and I’m also having yellowing and reddening on the upper-middle leaves and stems of one of them. Also, throughout flowering I did nute burn then just slightly where most the tips were either a little yellow or brown. And it seems like the smell of both of them has lessened. Is this a problem? Should I just continue giving water now until harvest? Thank you!

Looks like you may be running into a K problem. Since you've been feeding hard I would guess you may have overdid which is causing lockout..flush it real good then I personally would feed really light in a couple days.

Thanks your the reply guys. Since I already flushed it since noticing the burn and yellowing should I do it again? Or just water until a little runoff?

Hey guys , so I flushed it and then did a very light feeding , it seems to have stopped the spreading of yellowing on one of the plants. But the brown crunchy leafs on the top (nute burn?) seem to still be getting worse. Any ideas?

..once a leaf is damaged you're usually going to lose it

Ok I gotcha but it seems to be spreading down the plant now to new leafs. Mainly the the sugar leafs or smaller fan leafs growing right from the buds. What do you think is causing? I’m just trying to learn from this so I don’t make the same mistakes again.

Honestly best thing you can do is put up new pictures in natural light, list everything you're feeding it, soil runoff pH everything you can think to list would give everybody a better idea because it could be several things

I have no idea what your nutes are so I don't really feel comfortable saying anything it does look like nitrogen burn but it could have an underlying cause maybe somebody who's familiar with your brand could help, I still think you need to take a runoff pH and PPM

Ok thank you so much for the reply. As of now I don’t have anything to test the ppm. Is there anything you would recommend? And I will test the ph in a day or two when I water them. I used Neptune’s harvest fish emulsion and seaweed through veg and honestly a little through flower until I realized it was s good idea to switch to something with less nitrogen. I always noticed the leaves were kind of on the darker side through their whole life and when they got to flower some of the leafs right near the buds had that claw to them. So then I switched to dr.earths golden bloom. I will include pictures of both and the plants to hopefully give more information. I really appreciate the help, just trying to learn from my mistakes. Thank you!

There’s two plants. Plant A on the left and plant B on the right. Last picture is plant A.

Ok, so I checked the ph of the runoff and it was in between 6 and 6.5. And I always make sure the water I put in is in the same ball park. This is what it should be correct?

What you are seeing is the normal yellowing of leaves at the end of the life cycle of a pot plant, so you have no problem.
I like the Greenlee PPM/PH combo meter. Pricey but good, and a good tester is mandatory if you want to grow seriously.
I would stop feeding now, and just let your plants finish the way they are, because they are fine.
Nice job

Ok thanks for the advice man it’s all appreciated! I’ll for sure have to invest in a Ppm meter. And thanks! This is my first successful grow.
