Don’t know what to do about my burnt tips! Please help :(

hey guys so I’ve been reading up about burnt tips and can’t really seem to figure out what to do, I have shinny fan leaves with burnt tips, I’ve been reading about heat stress or light stress maybe, potassium deficiency but I’m in patio plus soil so I don’t know if that could be the cause, please help I really don’t want this little guy to die here are some pics please point me in the right direction!

Here’s another one

Annnnnnnnnd another

Need a little more info. what kind of soil. What nutes you using? Looks like it could be the start of nute burn.

I’m using kellogg patio plus with nothing added, watering with distilled water until light runoff

Does that soil say 'feeds for x months'? If so it's the slow release fertilizer burning it. Slow release fertalizer can and will kill a cannabis plant.

Build your own soil from scratch. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube.

Or go soiless like promix. Goto a hydro store. They carry large bales of the proper mix for cannabis. And you just supply a two part liquid fertilizer. It's very easy.

Don't be lazy and throw it in hardware store shit soil. I even if your plant lives... You still might endup with bugs. These soil company's don't make soil for indoor humid grows. Their facilities often get infected with bugs and disease.

Company's like promix and fox farm treat their soil or use beneficial fungi/bacteria to make it sterile of seeds bugs and disease.

Start with good ingredients and equipment and the grow won't be such a guessing game

Is it too late to transfer it to something like that or to make my own soil? The plant still looks pretty healthy I think?

i was thinking about going to a 5 galling pot anyway

that is classic over ferting symptoms, the above advice is good, repot it into some better soil and feed it lightly till it seems to be taking off, then you can slowly up the nutes.

i personally don't care for growing in soil, i like promix and perlite, i have total control of what goes into it, and when it goes.

it is wind burn move your fan further away from the plantand turn the fan down

The fan seems a bit direct, I agree, but do you really think that the appearance of nutrient burnt tips on the fan leaves was caused by "wind burn?"

yes i have learned the hard way. when the tips start to turn it just means there is something wrong. just like how nausea could mean the flu to cancer.

imagine your arms straight up facing a strong wind and holding them there for days what happens is the leaves are bending so hard that eventually the veins in them get sore just like your arms would be so than it stresses the plant from the edge to the tips nutrient burns are dry hay yellow while there is a bit more brown in there to directly point to that also the leaves are not dark green which is the first sign your nitrogen is a bit to high

There is a lot more you going in there than wind burn. I've seen fans beat up leaves pretty bad, but there is some nutrient issues there without a doubt.

i agree about the nutrients too i believe though the plant cannot use what it is getting because of the fan blowing it to hard

I agree that it's a compound problem. My recommendation is transplant to better soil and try to use more indirect air movement.

that is a great plan of action especially the transplanting idea well played good sir!

I don't believe I've solved anything at all. Best guess based on very limited information.
