Nute Burn?

I have two auto flowers, ome bulk smash, one ak-49, i recently noticed yellowing tips on the bottom leaves of my plant, i immediately flushed it with a half a gallon of water, which is definitely not enough but they're also autos and very fragile, will i be alright, from what i seen its not too severe.

Its nute burn only if you've been feeding them with it or your medium is too 'hot'. IMHO, judging by the size, I would have thought feeding them liquid nutes is a bit premature.
They look nice & green, so I tend not to feed until I notice they 'need' feeding, rather than just for the sake of it. Others on here more experienced may disagree,
Good luck !

Oh i know its nute burn lol i just want to know how to better tend to it, i use fox farms original planting mix with 30% perlite mixed in, they're on week three, but I've been gradually increasing the dosage according to a schedule i found online, its day 3 of week 3, and on week 3 day 1 i increased the dosage, day 2 i noticed the yellowing of the tips, i ran about a half gal of phd water in, i have a 5 gal smart pot, but the wbole "3x the size of the gallon" flushing method worried me, they're still basically babies, so i dont know of thats enough water to flush or not, i just want to get these guys looking better, though i heard if just the tips are yellow, you'll be fine if you dial it back a bit, heres a pic of that schedule, im going for a high yield, high thc without any training (low stress training scares me a bit because they're autos, and anything besides lst is just out of the question, just too fragile im afraid) and heard alot of positive responses from this feeding schedule, ive been seeing some nice reviews. Im really wet behind the ears so all input really helps

From what I understand FFsoil has plenty of nutes in it for at least 4 - 6 weeks of growth..
Don't go by a schedule go by your plants.. If they are green and growing they don't need any nutes..
Too much causes stress and is counterproductive...

So should i stop and just switch to plain ph until week for when i add bloom? Should i still add molasses?

I would stick with ph'd water for now.. Watch the new growth, if it slows you need nutes. I personally never use full strength nutes.. half strength nutes given more often gives you better control.. When you flip into flower wait for 2 weeks or for the stretch to slowdown before you go to bloom nutes... Idk about molasses.. never used it..
Luck to ya

Much appreciated, new growth is still lime green, and its only slight so ill take the advice, my nutes are about 3/4 the strength, except for the rapid start, my other plant loves the treatment with omly slight signs, i mean like pin tip of yellow on the leaf tip, but i diald down accordingly, I'll switch my other to plain ph as well now, if i just stop thd nutes will that hurt the plant?

When plants show any burn they need time to eat what is available before you feed again.. so no it won't hurt...
the new growth always starts lighter then gets green with age...

Do you think that little bit will hurt her that much? That slight nyte burn also gave slight nitrogen toxicity (i dont remember if i stated that) but its definitely not as severe as some I've seen, but nonetheless theres still a "claw" to the leaves. I know mistakes with autoflower are bad because it takes too long to recover, think I'll be alright?

She should be ok... I've made worse mistakes than that.. All growers make mistakes that's how we learn...
One mistake I see from newbies is actually loving their plants to death...literally.. they need time to grow..
Patience is key!

Very true lol, thank you so much for the help!

I just re read and saw auto.. duh!.. start bloom nutes when they start flowering..

Well i just checked on her in the grow room, and from what i can see it small pistils (im kinda geeking out) but theyre still very small andonly in certain places, should i start bloom nutes directly at week 4? Or is there something i should wait for?

If one of your plants is happy with nutes keep on. I would cut back more tho . No, stopping the nutes. won't hurt the plant, but at around 4 weeks be on the look out 4 nitrogen and Cal/Mag deficiencies to start creeping in.

I heard that if the nute burn is on the tips it will suck the nitrogen up with the flowering stretch, isit the same for slight nitro toxicity? My other question still stands

I use molasses every grow. Low ppm bout ever 3 weeks in one of my water only feeds. Gives the soil a boost which I can see in the plant the next day. Read it was the same as Bud Candy. Bet it is a LOT cheaper.

Slight Nitro toxicity is what is causing the burn. So yes... The pistils you're seeing are pre flowers..
wait a couple weeks for bloom nutes..
