Looks like a little too much nitrogen (dark, waxy leaves and burned tips.) Are you monitoring runoff PPM?

In range for soil. Run off or slurry test numbers would help :love_you_gesture:

depending what kind of light you are using. Did you check out the Grow guide? It helps me out a lot.

First, yes, she will be ok! She needs less nitrogen - cut the amount you are giving of nutrients, especially if you are giving them full strength. Autos often need less than their photo sisters.

She could also benefit from a drink with Epson Salts - 1 tsp/gallon of water is a good ratio.

And WAIT in between trying things. The leaves that show damage will not “heal”, just watch the new growth for proper color etc.

She’s a decent size, and you can expect pistils soon if you’re not already seeing them.

It is not a light issue.

Toxicity is corrected by flushing 3 times the pot size with PH water. Run off numbers are usually known prior to flushing so that a good PPM and PH range is targeted. Agree with @Aussie_autos on the deficiency and toxicity

You would flush ur meduim with ph water about five to ten ltrs but while ur flushing i would put two tablespoons of epsom salts into ur water so u can flush and treat the magnesium def at the same time
