Hi!
I have a pretty bad color vision deficiency and since this is my first grow I'm not sure if there is something to get worried on her leaves color.
The new leaves have a darker color on the tips but I can't see if the color is actually green, red or brown. Please could you take a look at the pic and help me out, is there something off?

She is an auto. I fed her 2 days ago, I'm still doing 1/2 dosage since this it was her 2nd feeding. I'm growing in LightMix.

Leaves
 
Shes looking great man! The new leafs with darker could just be the nutes. I’d bet as long as things continue as is youll start seeing the new growth from here on out changing to a bit darker color.
 
It’s hard to tell from this pic but the littles in the solo have not got any form of nutrients for a while now. Maybe some recharge. But the solos plants are way lighter in color than the others around it, which have received nutrients : ) if you want a more close up of the plants let me know : ) i can get some better pics for you! ✌️

Whew! Thanks everyone! I do apologize I ask silly questions like these, but It's my first grow and even the slightest change in anything other than the size of the plant makes me question if something is wrong :D

The pot is getting pretty light again and tomorrow I think its time to water her again. Another weird thing I have not been able wrap around my head is that even though weighting the pot tells me there's barely any water left but touching the soil still feels pretty moist. Though if take out a small amount of soil (that feels wet in the pot) it does dry out completely in just couple of minutes.
Some say that I should rely on the feel how moist the soil feels but personally I have found that sensation being rather deceptive and I mostly have been relying on the pot weight.

Pot weight is a great way to judge how much water is in the pot, especially after you've done it a few times. Another thing you can do is watch for straight-down droop in the lowers. When you see that, you want to water immediately, after you pick up the pot to get a feel for what "max dry" feels like. Count how many days it's been since you watered, and water a day or two earlier, next time. This depends on watering the same amount each time, which is easy if you water slowly to runoff.

Thanks! I have been trying to avoid letting it too dry also. So far, in practice I have been watering every three days (not following a timed schedule but the pot feels light enough for another watering in every three days) and so far it has been correct I think. Have not seen symptoms of overwatering. The water amount I has been pretty much constant 2 liters because in the beginning it was giving the "correct" amount of run-off.

The one thing I have noticed after every watering is that the amount of run-off has been lower and lower every time. Does this mean I should just increase the amount of water or am I also letting the soil go too dry?
I always do the watering very slowly so the soil can soak it properly and not give out "false" run-offs.

In soil, I let the pots decide how much water they need. I wait until the pots are very light, and then water slowly until I have about 10% runoff. Usually takes between a quarter and a third of the media volume.
 
The pant seems to get more thirsty, I watered her only two days ago and the pot already feels light and the top surface is getting dry pretty fast. The fabric on the bottom of the pot feels tiny bit moist ( I mean relly tiny bit, I can barely sense its been moist). I'll watch closely and if I start to see any drooping I will be watering today, but If they seem happy I will wait for tomorrow for the watering. I'm almost paranoid about overwatering.

She has started growing height really fast now and I see long translucent "hair" (pistils)? growing at the roots of higher nodes.
 
I think she is all right, growing fast and getting more thirsty. :)
