Doesn't really look light burned to me, possibly a little nute burn, the leaves look very dark green, indicating a lot of nitrogen. If you're referring to the light colored new leaves/growth points, that's quite normal, it takes the chlorophyll a few days to mature/darken up.

I believe my humidity was a bit high
 
Humidity a tad too high nd temps on the lower side,

aim for like 75/80f and 50/55% humidity that will speed up the transpiration of the plants meaning they’ll dry back quicker

Your leafs look on the darker side of green

Are you watering to run off?

If not I can be looking at a nitrogen toxicity
Nd I’d give a a good feed at like 25/50% to reset the medium md flush out the salts

They look fine ✌️
 
As I understand it Gaia green is a full organic fertilizer, so you shouldn't need to flush salts. But if you start to get clawing in the leaves, then flush to remove excess fertilizer. The plants look good, I believe you're overthinking it. Don't be a slave to your measuring gadgets, just try and stay "in the ballpark". Remember, it's a weed!

yes i water till runoff i just top fed them a few days ago with the gaia green 4-4-4 and the flowerpower 2-8-4 also added some worm castings i believe that should be good for 4 weeks or so are you saying i should flush them and re feeding?

i was referring to the top canopy has the ends bleached lower canopy does not have any bleached leaves also other plant started to develop tacos leaves in upper canopy
 
Are you using the recommended amounts of the Gaia? I’ve over feed my last two runs with it😆 i absolutely love the stuff though!

plants are looking good! ✌️

yes i used 1 tablespoon per gallon maybe next time i will use a lesser dosage i have 2 plants in soil the other in coco and let me tell you soil is so much easier to me

Yeah dude. I’ve yet to mess with coco, you just gotta dial it in and know what you are doing with it. Way different animal than soil : ) currently im running peat based and i love it, its kind of an inbetween pure coco or hydro grow and soil (probably making some member eye roll with that one😆) but thats just how i call it lol.

im following that as well, starting to think the the tablespoon might be a little much? I’ve even adjusted my top dress of the 2-8-4 for flip because of it.
 
wanted to give a little update they are looking healthier I believe. I was able to get that humidity now i also fed them 1.5 gallons each of ph balanced RO water a day ago this is how there looking now

i believe the bleaching was caused by the humidity being so high during the transition to flower??
