This is my 2nd grow, first was a few years ago and was pretty successful.

Things this round are going pretty well but am now having a few small issues and am hoping for advice.

As you can see by the pics the leaf tips are a bit burned and some leaves are pointing down and some are curling. However some of the little tips along the sides of each leaf are turned up. I tried to get a nice close shot of that one in hopes that someone can tell me what that means. Anyone know what those points are called?

After they got over fertilized and burned a bit I did a mini-flush, and it seemed to keep it from getting any worse. These pics are from a few days ago. Now, two days later, she is totally dry again and I watered using about 2/3 strength nutes. Leaves still look the same: some funky in one way, some funky in another, and some totally normal.

growing in black gold potting soil, started from seed. Yes, this is all one big plant.

Today after watering the runoff was:

pH 5.8
ppm 1500 (this is the first time I've used the meter, other than calibrating it)
I'm using Pure Blend Pro bloom which is 1.5-4-5

She spent too much time vegging and is now really really big. I had to top her and tie down all the branches about a week into flowering because she was way too tall. Only options were let her burn or give her a little stress. Other than slowing down a bit she didn't mind much at all. I think I'm about 38 days into flowering.

You gotta raise that light and stop feeding so heavy. You can't force feed a plant. Less is more...

I don't have much vertical space to work with but I did raise the lights one more notch, based on your advice. Most of what I see seems like nute burn more than heat from the light. Thanks for taking the time to take a look and tell me what you think.

I water twice between each feeding at 1/3 strength, if that helps any

if it dried up in 2 days after a flush you didn`t do enough. it is still burning and has heat issuses. i also use the pure blend but i use the whole line of stuff.
starting again at 2/3 nute mix after a flush is to much. after a flush you need to start over at 1/4.
i have brought my ppm up to 2500 with this stuff and no burn. if you use it correctly you shouldn`t have this problem

Thanks a lot bonz. I'm now better setup to do a real flush so will do that tonight.

Also, quiet420guy: You're right, less IS more. That's something I'm aware of in nearly everything else in my life, I just got too excited by this project. I'll settle down a bit now.
