Nute Burn? (1st grow)

Im about 6 weeks into flower and I noticed some orange tips around my leaves. Is this nute burn? If so, can I get rid of it? Ive been using GH simple schedule. I just got out of Bloom, and into ripen. This alone lower the PPM significantly. Is that enough to stop the burn?

Also, will this effect the outcome of the harvest? I've heard that if you dont flush (which I plan on doing), that you can taste the nutes in the smoke. If the plant's burned, is it more likely that you would taste the nutes, even after flushing?

Here's a pic of the burn, and one of my closest for the hell of it.

thanks guys

If you flush for about a week you shouldn't taste any nutes. I didn't flush on one of my harvests ( time restricted ) and when we burned it you could taste the nutes and it would spark like a sparkler.

Deff. flush for a week.

What and how much are you feeding? That kinda looks like a potassium deficincy more then a burn.

oh yea? Potassium? Im on the regular GH feed schedule. I did however just get Koolbloom (I guess I was supposed to be using it the whole flowering period). I used it for a week before that pic. However, Im now in the ripen - advanced schedule (the regular schedule doesnt use the ripening formula, only the koolbloom liquid), and am using koolbloom ripening formula. it has a 2-45-28 solution. So if its a potassium deficiancy problem, It should clear up in a week or two? I plan on flushing in two weeks, possibly one. I've been looking at trichomes, and they are still clear, but i plan on flushing as soon as they turn milky. Will I be alright?

I start low with nutes and build them up as I go so at the end of veg there at 100% or more on the nutes. I da a flush at the end of veg. then start over with flower nutes. I use alaskin fish fert so it's hard to burn them. Myself I try to chop just afer I see amber starting that way most all the trich's are cloudy with no clear.

the parts that are yellow now will stay that way. No big deal. you'll start droping fan leafs so I would just keep going with your regular schedule and mybe wait 3-4 weeks to flush. I do the last flush when the trich's start to go couldy. and chop about two weeks later.
