She's been slow since the beginning so i though the yellow tips on the top leaves were just because of new growth, but I'm starting to think its because of a N abundance. What should i do? I'm thinking of watering with runoff or/and defoliating because she's a bit too bushy

Yes, nitrogen toxicity. You should be getting run off every time you irrigate, it helps prevent nutrient salts building up in the substrate ans causing burning. Having a diary helps immensely when it comes to questions and answers. Are ou growing in soil?? If so, a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed works well and certainly do not feed every time you water. I would advise strongly against any sort of defoliation, there is absolutely no need to do so, especially on a plant this size. Bushy is good......... More leaves = more energy being made = more growth! Buds need the leaves to make the energy that they need to grow.

Early N tox sure, nothing crazy bad though. yellowing tips could be from burning or lockout of other nutrient because of to much N. I agree give regular water Ph'd, if it progress much further do heavy watering with less N and let that push out the extra in the medium.

Hey there, Yes you over fed here just a tiny bit, I would recommend only water at the correct ph for a few times before adding new nutrients to your soil,there is no need to flush or anything Just get a good dry/wet cycle going on and she will be pretty fine Happy growing 🌱✌️
