This is one of my first problems with this plant here... I think it might be nute burn but not sure enough... I used the miracle grow bloom boost but no instructions came with it on how to mix it... It is for the water hose but that is all walmart had for blooming other than some stuff for cactus... Anyway, Here is a pic..

Its plenty cool where they are... There are 5 inches between the plant and the bulb shield... about 10 inches from the actual bulb... Only running 250 watt hid lamps..

(DS smiles cuz this grower is paying attention)

good looking friend, you've spotted an early sign of K deficiency; singed tips. i bet a lot of leaves have it. you just need to feed with some extra K, mj loves the K and most grows show signs of a slight K deficiency, if you leave it alone your plant will be fine, but if you add some extra K then your plant will grow a lot faster!

miracle grow bloom boost npk = 15-30-15 on the majority of commercial nutes the full strength dose is 1tbsp per gallon, but thats not what you want. you want to use something thats as close to 10-10-10 as possible because its balanced. even better is to use a npk ratio that leans toward K. K regulates water(essential for nutrient uptake) and controls fruit size, density and taste!

to use your bloom food to its max potential, use 2/3 strength(2/3 of a tbsp is 2tsp) that will give you an npk of 10-20-10, use it every other watering.

i have a suggestion on nutes, go buy some $5 Shultz Rose food 18-24-24 and feed 1.5tsp per gallon every other watering(9-12-12 very good). its the best npk ratio that you can find at a general store. you will notice faster growth with this npk ratio, you will see at least 1 new set of fan leaves per day.
