Bro when I get burned fan leaves while vegging i wait till it's completely dry. Yellow/brownish color and the stem looks very thin and brittle. That means the plant used up all available nutrients/ stored water in the fan leaf and you can pluck it off gently or just let it fall on its own.
If it's still green and has small yellowing just let it be.

FWIW that overworks the fan unless you modified things. its pulling air in and pushing air out through the filter instead of pulling air in through the filter and exhausting into a big open space with no restrictions whatsoever. they're happier when they pull, not push.

look into hanging your filter on the ceiling inside the tent. see what you can do with that. i used the black straps which came with the filter and then some hemp string to position it where i wanted it. hemp string wrapped around it like a lasso and tied on the far frame pole to pull it away from the tent wall. same lasso tie with the black straps to hang it on the weight bars

Try dry organic amendments (Dr. Earth is a great company). It wont burn your plants like bottled nutes and helps microbial population in the soil (I use coco coir). You wont have to worry about nutrient doses unless you plan on using organic liquid inputs. Only watering when needed. I use 444, 394, 242, and 731 from Dr. Earth in different ratios depending on the plant stage. You could make your own ratios according to your plant but I generally use 75% 444 with 25% 394 (this is veg formula, flip ratios for bloom formula). 75%=1.5 tbsp per gallon of medium 25%=0.5 tbsp per gal. pH water from 6.5 to 6.9 to benefit microbial life. This is my basis of Dry Organic amendments but you can add whatever to the mix, like liquid supplements (Bloom booster, Kelp, CalMag, Bud sweetener,) as long as they’re organic. Remember to add Organic liquid nutrients in water before CalMag, this is important because it Chelates the Ca and Ma (makes it immediately available). Use kelp, humic acids, or anything organic really.
