it looks to me like your just a touch heavy on the nutrients but not by much, the sign is the burnt dry tips and they usually show about 5-7 days after feeding if too much.
2 actual feedings and 1 just water in-between. Might've not made it clear enough.you feed 2-3 times a week, seems like a lot..
generally a sativa leaning plant will like less food per feeding during flowering where as a indica leaning plant would more inclined to want more..
ok the gorilla, either lower the nutrients by a few ml or skip a feeding.
don’t flush.
it’s not that and when you feed it takes up to 5 days to show if you burned etc.. any leaves that have spots etc.. will not recover, generally will slowly get worse.. so trying to diagnose everyday is not the way to go!!So was checking plants today and one's not looking that good. I can only imagine that it's Calcium deficiency. Lower leaves are affected, not all of them, but some of the bigger fan leaves.
Will only water with calmag today and see how it goes.
Also, unless you use filtered or RO water, calcium is usually present in adequate amounts to "plant over-dose" amounts in municipal water supplies.it’s not that and when you feed it takes up to 5 days to show if you burned etc.. any leaves that have spots etc.. will not recover, generally will slowly get worse.. so trying to diagnose everyday is not the way to go!!
twisty leaves,, and 3 fingered odd leaves!
mmm better check for pest or mildew..
something is not right!

Checked for pests and mildew, nothing. Might there be an issue with my soil PH meter that is not showing correct PH and lockdown happening, hence the lack of calcium? Again, I'm just spitballing, cause I really can't figure out what's wrong. And this is just one plant, second one that is the same strain and getting exactly same feeding etc doesn't have this type of issue.
I knew first time won't be easy, but not knowing what exactly is wrong is the worst.
Should I remove affected leaves in this case?
Yep, I'm using tap water. I never even bothered to check it for calcium contents. Figured out if I got CalMag I'll just use it with suggested dose for prevention. This also makes me think of my soil PH meter being severely inaccurate. This is a good learning experience, hope it's not too late to fix the issue tho.
Thanks for the replies and input guys, appreciate!
you mention fish mix and bio grow - are you using both when feeding? at what dose? --- you should be using fish mix during veg and grow during flower (but not both at the same time)
I'd be more worried about magnesium deficiencies if you're using straight tap water. Toxic amounts of calcium will inhibit magnesium uptake. I've got a couple of ideas for you. One is fairly inexpensive ... the other will cost you quite a bit more ... Here they are:
also your over feeding that recently happened has caused burnt tips and has caused an uptake issue with other nutrients/minerals..
just dial it back a bit and watch the new growth.
Hmm, this might be the issue! I've read and listened to some varied thoughts on this one and settled on one video where BioBizz rep was saying that you can just use Fish Mix as an addition throughout whole grow. I've been adding it in a slightly lesser amount. But added full recommended amount of BioGrow.
I will look into it, thank you! Since those twisted leaves got yellow\brownish exactly in the same pattern that is shown in deficiency chart. Also starts with bottom leaves too. So might it just be that with actual light burn?
it’s really not bad, just not perfect.,Yeah, all this would explain the progression of plant's current condition! Watered it today, just plain water. So these lower leaves issue showed within 3 days, that's when I watered last and did an examination too, nothing looked bad except tips.
It's the beginning of their 7th week, so hopefully there's enough time to fix it. Plant itself looks quite big!

It's not light burn. It's nutrient burn. Do as @GNick55 suggested ... dial the nutes back some. I'd even go as far a few plain water waterings since there's salts built up in the soil ... and then cut the nutes in half when you start feeding again.
it’s really not bad, just not perfect.,
so don’t worry.
3 fingered leaves could also be from light stress, changes in environment.. screwed up light schedule..
