Am I right that this is nutrient burn?

So I put my plants into flower phase a little over a week ago. Last Tuesday, I water with 50/50 water and water with 5-30-30 to avoid nute burn. So I came home from the holiday to find the lower pedals of my girls yellow and dead. I removed them hoping it was just the lower pedals dying off due to the flowering process.

I came home today, and noticed that the tips of the leaves have a little bit of brown to them, as shown below. Also, one of the lower leaves is turning yellow and I noticed a small hole in a leaf. Is this a pest problem (I'm growing indoors and didn't see anything) or this is something else (nutrient burn). And if so, what do you recommend?

I tried the FAQ at the top of the page, but all the links to the images are dead. Thanks in advance for the help.

not burned . if you just started flower don't feed it what your deeding it yet until about week 4 . feed it half and half . veg and flower nutrients . then week 4 hit all flower nutrients then week 6 find a nutrient like 0 50 15 or any number very high in the middle and no nitro in late flower , up until your flush . this is what I do with great results. if you hit that flower nutrient harder it may lock the plant out of cal and mag . not hard to do that . very common . I know my shit , nice pic snafu is that your self ? posted above me
 
So she needs more nutrients is what you're telling me?

Should I go with 50/50 water and my 5-30-30 flower mixture or 50/50 water and my nitrogen 30-5-5 mix?

use half 30/5/5/ and half 5 / 30/30 so that would make a number like 15 /20 /20 so if it says teaspoon per gallon then 2.5 teaspoons each into 5 gallons . for the first 4 weeks then no more veg . keep in mid no need to hit the flower nutrient until you start to get flowering started . you could pound
5/99/50 vs 5/5/5/ and the flower rate would be the same my experience . but the 5/99/50 plant would look all sick . at the point where the plant could actually benefit from it .

Very nice pic indeed.

But I must say Ms.Kinddisel, with no intended disrespect, that your pix are always very exciting. I also love the fact that you change them often. Keep up the good work ma'am.
