Nutrient burn... help

hi,

I made a amateur mistake and put too much grow in a feed. The results are some fan leaves are drooping at the tips.
I'm still in veg but I'm worried about how this will affect my plant in flowering.
I will flush next time I water them, waiting for them to be more dry.

Please view images and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

There's no o photo. I think that's because you're a new member, so you could probably link a photo though. If it's not too extreme then flushing will be fine.

Don't flush the soil. Water with plain water for a couple of cycles. 20-30% run off. Give the plant time to use what fertilizer you've already gave it. Once it recovers, then start feeding again.

However if you just gotta flush the soil. Again, Don't feed the plant until it's used the left over fertilizer, both stored within itself and what's left in the soil.

Thanks for the feedback... ye my upload won't work not sure why.
I can tell you that the leaves are very mildly clawing at the ends... they not really even burning. So not sure it's that serious. It is spreading to more leaves though, how long does nitrogen take to "leave" the system. I don't want to flush yet since the soil is really moist still so hesitant on that.

Thanks again for all the advice and input

If you're not seeing any burning at the tips or along the edges of the leaves then you're not burning your plant so no problem. Quite a few of the plants in my room have that mark because they got a little burn around week 3 of flowering. I just fed water for 2 waterings and it didn't progress so it was all good.

When running a new strain for the first time it's common practice to feed until you start seeing burn then back off. On the 2nd run of the same strain you know where the upper limit is and stay just below that to maximize growth without burning. Change the plant's environment or nutes and the whole game changes too tho.

:peace:
