Similar but different, natertots .. the fan leaves used to arch up towards the light, all of them .. now they all droop .. they look sad .. they just got a nice boost of N with P & K .. not sure about adding anymore at the moment
 
The droopy leaves and burned tips are probably from over feeding, but usually when they are overfed, especially too much N, the leaves are a very deep green. I hate to flush plants unless absolutely necessary, stresses them too much, so I'd hold off on that for a bit and only give pHed water. 6.5 going in is fine. Have you been checking the run off? If so, what is it reading? I'm not familiar with the GoBox nutes, can you elaborate?
 
Hey old grower. This is my first post but I do have a little experience. Minor fluctuations in ph and EC could have caused the plant to access more nutrients than before. How long has the process been going on for? We're the leaves darkening before burnt tips or have they always been light in colour?

A flush is a safe option if your plant has been quite healthy so far then it should eradicate the problem. Always less safe in flower though as any disturbance to growth will slow things

If ypur enviroment is warm then flushing and leaving for a couple days, monitoring the tips and leaf colour, will allow to clarify your musings. If over a period of time your leaves lighten and tips don't burn any more then you know you sorted feed/ph problem. If you aren't as meticulous as me then flush and feed with a slightly lighter solution and you will be fine. I would only do it to prove to myself my thoughts were correct lol :) hope this helps!
