Welcome to the forum. It is a little excess nitrogen. It’s not bad enough to worry about too much. Skip feeding nitrogen products for a couple of feedings, then feed as necessary to maintain a runoff PPM of ~1,000. ---

I ph to 6.5 runoff is usually 7 ppm was 1000 i think when i checked but im growing organic with gaia green and the greenrush so high ppm is normal i just too dressed for flower 9 days ago i ordered some seaweed extract thats high in potassium cause i thought it was that but not sure if its nute burn or what my second grow 🌲 ---

Greetings and welcome to the forum… Lots of good information here. Crispy tips and shiny dark leaves…A little too much nitrogen. Listen to @MidwestGuy he knows what he is talking about. Good Luck and Happy growing 👍 ---

To add to what has been said, going in to flower you plants are gonna want less nitrogen and more phosphorous and potassium. I have been running Gaia green for years now. It’s kind of tricky to get right. When I run I start with good soil. Most soil like, fox farm lines, coast of maine or build a soil has enough on board nutes to get through 5 weeks in say 5 gallons of soil. Looking forward to this I top feed a 70/30 mix of Gg veg/bloom @ week 3. It’s gonna take around 2 weeks for your critters in the soil to make it available for your plants to feed. So your plants should feed off the Gaia just after autos start flowering ( week 5 ) then at 3 weeks flower I feed 50/50 veg/bloom. Then at wee 5 or 6 I hit them with 70/30 bloom/veg. And they feed off that till harvest. In between feedings I water with calmag, and also recharge to feed my soil. This works great for me if my madness makes sense? Also to remember 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil don’t skimp! I have great results! ![1000005065](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/4/8/84870ac7c6db27f38c6e8848f37dccc318296d82.jpeg) ![1000004935](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/c/e/4ce1ce5bc285f9eab07d20ae9e6a14210ae406dd.jpeg) ![1000004937](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/0/6/3066b4c9b2f3c89f3dd217c7162fc1fcb1de843f.jpeg) ![1000004839](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/5/b/85bb715c71c2c549efff3d6868f504f8b22516e6.jpeg) ![1000004777](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/a/c/7acdec8756f647ff1217b6fe9224e3a254a22e01.jpeg) ![1000004750](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/f/3/bf3393730e745809899b5f25b588f08ef62081a6.jpeg) All grown with Gaia green ---

Thats what i basically did started with oceanforest vegged in that for a couple months toopdressed with gaia in a 5gal pot followed the instructions on the back of the bloom and added on scoop of the 444 11 days ago when i topdressed i fed greenrush bloom which is organic but is available instantly ive watered 3 times since then with just plain water
