Puzzling symptoms of a deficiency on sugar leaves only?

Hey folks,

Iv got a fruit spirit here thats in soil (biobizz) and using biobizz nutes, 3ml grow, 5ml bloom, 5ml topmax per litre. Week 5 of flower, everything looking great apart from some sugar leaves that are exhibiting some sort of issue. They are a light orangey browny colour, mostly the top sugar leaves at tip of the buds. Fan leaves seem unaffected , is this unusual for just sugar leaves to be affected? Sorry for pics under led but i cant get decent light in my room and it shows best under led to be honest. I dont know if its calcium, magnesium, or what it is i am puzzled. Cant see anything online that resembles it sadly. My ph is fine also i have checked that. Apart from the upper sugar leaves the plant is real healthy.

pretty colors man, looks like frosty buds under led is all
Thanks bro they are getting frosty. Can you see the symptom on the bottom picture about 3 o clock position? The leaves are not dry or crispy, they are more waxy with resin i would say just an orangey burnt colour on a goos few sugar leaves. Im worried its going to affect the crop as flowering continues. Off topic but i wish i could let you smell them, when yoi rub a sugar leave your fingers are coated in a sticky glaze that can only be described as a potent bubblegum/ pink lemonade scent its very very nice.

you've only got a few more weeks to go, ferts should be tapered, some leaves will suffer, no worries. adding anything extra now I bet would ruin your experience. let ride, enjoy it, thats what I'd do

Do you reckon i should start lowering nites just now? I reckon another 3-4 weeks to go, i usually start dropping in a week or so and last week just gets water i dont like to flush a few weeks before, im totally organic so have chosen the side of flushing too much is not the best.

Do you think this is slight nute burn?

Nitro looks a bit high ( dark green ) ... If it was me i would just let plant carry on ( sugar leaves ) you are well into flowering.
Ok i agree it does look dark green i will drop the grow to 1ml and go with that, hopefully will lighten up. Ok i will also just roll with it until the end. Do you know what the disadvantage of high nitrogen is in flower by any chance?

bad taste, longer "cure" for smokeable, burn.
I'd follow the directions on the system you feed with, especially if they show a reduction in ferts at 5 weeks in your program
