Do you notice anything wrong with these buds/leaves?

Brother I was having the same battle with worrying about.my ladies yesterday a day today as well. They look almost identical. I've grown for a few years previously... but that was almost a Decade ago. When I saw the bid formation it wasn't what I was used to seeing. So I panicked a little and started researching.View attachment 4889228View attachment 4889229
I literally just trimmed and jarred that grow today. It turned out pretty good but these are the things I think I did wrong...

1. LED too close to the plants during flower. My top buds/leaves were kind of crispy and they dried faster than the lower, smaller stuff becuase they were already fried from the light

2. I fed too much early on. I was trying to mix my nutes at like 900ppm and I developed some nitrogen toxicity(really dark green leaves) and nutrient lockout resulting in calcium deficiency and probably others.

3. Salt build up. I'm in coco and I was only feeding once a day and not to enough runoff. I let too much water in the medium evaporate between feedings resulting in salt build up.

This current grow I made sure I have plenty of headroom in my tent for the light. Ill probably not exceed 600-700 ppm at any point. And I'll be feeding many times through the day and night to ensure the coco is always wet and doesn't get a chance to evaporate. A big take away from this grow for me is that its easier to diagnose/fix a deficiency caused by weak feed strength than one cause by overfeeding/lockout. So start low and go up. Also, more runoff when in doubt.

Either way I didn't need to stress so much because I still got a good yield and learned along the way.

I wish I would have found this post the day before yesterday... I was definitely chasing my tail. Im currently growing in 12- 5 gal flood and drain pots with a 55 gal reservoir, for the very first time. I've grown for a few years previously, but that was almost a decade and one crazy ass ex wife ago, and that was in dirt... well pro mix. Everything has been pretty good up until yesterday. The ladies seemed to be loving life. For whatever reason when I saw those weird looking bud sites I panicked(kinda). Thanks for the response. This entire debacle has already taught me a lot. Like you said, don't worry so much and try to enjoy.
P.s. I wish we could post videos. I'd give ya a virtual tour lol. thanks again. Much love anduch luck in the future.20210422_234432.jpg
