Newbie concerns; foxtailing, leaf tips, harvest?

First indoor grow, learning as I go, and had a few questions: does it look like some of my buds are foxtailing?
I've also noticed that my leaf tips look almost burnt, but doubting that it's from too many nutes. 600 watt LED, 5.5 teaspoons of Tiger Bloom into 1 gal of water with 5ml of Cal/Mag, could this cause Nute burn?
Last question is about harvesting, any guesses when she might be finished?
Switched to 12/12 lighting May 19th, first pistils appeared June 2nd-pretty sure she's sativa dominant and I know that can take longer to harvest, but not sure it should take this long.
Any feedback is appreciated

It looks like a bit of tip burn. Is your medium something that comes fertilized? If it hasn't been progressing you should be fine!

And yes, 12 full weeks of flowering isn't too odd, she has a few weeks to go.

What's your temperature looking like in there?

Wow 5.5 tsp of Tiger Bloom for 1 gallon of water. That is kind of nutty to me. Anyhow for many years before going to all organic I used FF trio... GB, BB, TB and looking at my old feeding routine I never used more than 1 tsp of TB per gallon, as it would always fry my plants if I did. Here is my old schedule that always grew me wonderful plants when using happy frog soil cut with 25% perlite. And as a side note when it comes to FF nutrients... BB is your friend, it will pump up them buds, even more so than TB, so during flowering it should always be your main nutrient!

@Per gallon of water...

WEEK 1 - 3 flower (pH 6.5) feed, water, feed...

1/2 tsp GB / 2.5ml
4 tsp BB / 20ml
1/2 tsp epsom salt / 2.5ml
1 1/2 tsp GO calmag+ / 7ml

WEEK 4 - 7 (pH 6.2) feed, feed, water...
1/2 tsp GB / 2.5ml
5 tsp BB / 24ml
1/2 tsp epsom salt / 2.5ml
1 1/2 tsp GO calmag+ / 7ml

and beginning at WEEK 5 add....

1/2 tsp TB / 2.5ml
1 tsp molasses / 5ml

WEEK 8 - TO FLUSH (pH 6.6) feed, feed, feed...

1 tsp TB / 5ml
2 tsp molasses / 10ml

FLUSH...

(pH 7.0) for at least 5 days, but 10 is better, (water 2x the pot size), plain pH(ed) water

Growing in coco coir/perlite, I don't believe it's fertilized. Temp & humidity has been a struggle throughout, finally have a good ventilation setup going-humidity is generall 40% but fluctuatuates +- 5%. Temp is around 80-85

I misquoted myself with the 5.5 teaspoons, it's actually 13.75ml or a little less than 3 teaspoons per gallon. I've had some crunchy fan leaves throughout so I'll try and dial that back and see if it helps.
Thank you for that schedule, Ive been using the FF trio so next planting I'll try this schedule.
I'm growing in coco coir/perlite, any tips on the flushing process?

You do not wanna feed molasses that late in flower. If you need to use it it should be discontinued at week 4 of flower.

Way to much nitrogen. Back it off to almost zero for late flowering. Thats why you are foxtailing and your leaves are so dark green.

I recently purchased the trio after many years away from it, it’s not as strong as it used to be.

Unrelated. but neither is the GH FloraNova series. It mixes better now, it used to be incredibly salty and sludgy.

I went back to it and was surprised at how quickly a bottle went mixing to the same EC.

would I be better off just cutting the amount of nitrogen I'm feeding?
I've dropped it down to 1 teaspoon of Tiger Bloom per gallon
