I think burn because didnt you say it happened after their first feed?....

A full dose of week 5 was alot...Google some nute burn images and you will see very similiar pics with the necrosis and the yellowing and yelliw spots on veins....

I dam sure think I could be wrong since everones against me lol but thats my thought...burn

Flush those excessive nutrs out....feed at quarter strength and add a calvium magnesium suppliment

 

[Cannoisseuras]

you could be right I feel like it started with the deficiency then over correcting has burned her? I haven't followed the whole story but from what I've read this is the jist ?

Thats exactly what I think happened

I'm not against you Canno Lmao

 

[Pennywise]

Your solution is spot on

 

[MasterRookie]

Can you take a closer pic

 

[MasterRookie]

I'm pretty sure it is calcium as well Pennywise

Penny was the first to say cal def and i agreed based on pics but then i heard nute burn and got scared. I thought burn would be evident in the tips tho ? Which not one is burnt so I'm lost


Edit: Upon closer inspection there is one tip that looks funny. Only in the pic tho cuz i just peeked on the garden and it looks normal in reg light

 

[Pennywise]

Flush with 1/4 strength nutes and try milk or egg shells and ph to 6.2 the. You'll be good.

Rookie question... when flushing how much runoff am i looking for ?

 

[KingJoe83]

Rookie question... when flushing how much runoff am i looking for ?

10 15 percent usually i believe .

 

[MasterRookie]

10 15 percent usually i believe .

So does that mean every time i water is considered a flush ? I water until 20% at least

 

[Pennywise]

Just run reduced nutes through it with 20%-25% runoff, you want to drop you're ph so the more the better. Then you can increase nutes slowly. Watching for burned tips. If you see any burn the back off a bit.

For everyone going against you.... i think i see a burnt tip sounds like what u guys said was right, i corrected a def with an accidental full dose and burnt them.

 

[MasterRookie]

My problem is when im muxing nutes and it calls for 1mm of something I always had to fight myself not to give them more just because I felt like that little bit cant be doing much....boy did I learned the hard way...lol

I'm pretty sure i just did too !

 

[MasterRookie]

Thanks guys for the quick feedback and not making me feel retarded lol... i knew i chose the right family !!!!!

Ive killed a few plants not to long ago, 420 is a good place to learn how to grow cannabis.

Flushing means you use 3x the amount of water that your pot is. So if 1gal pot, use 3gal ph'd water, 3gal pot use 9gal of water. That's a proper flush if your flushing nutes. 10-20% runoff is what you should have if your watering. Which if your just watering you should lift the dry pot, feel how lite it is. Then you water with 10-20% run off, then lift and take a mental note what it weighs saturated.
If you just "flush" with 10% runoff, your not changing anything and your roots are still burning. So just fyi, there's alot of ppl here saying this and that, but be sure you do homework before you make any adjustments. BEFORE and AFTER, make sure you either ph test your soil, or ph test your run off. I prefer to ph the soil with a soil tester, as that's more accurate than just the runoff. This has all been my expierence.

I voiced that same concern earlier cuz it didn't make sense... so my 5 gallons would need 15 gals for proper flush, then water with 1/4 strength and eggshells or milk or cal mag suppl ph'ed to 6.2, hopefully this puts me back on track ?! To me this makes sense but then again I wouldn't be asking for help if i knew what I was doing.... unless anyone objects this will be my solution

 

[sizz0e]

Anything bigger than 7 or 10gal, I usually just eye it. Obviously I'm not going to use 21-30 gals of water. If I'm using a 10gal, I usually use 10 to 13gal of water. If I used fox farms sledge hammer I'll use less water, but always check the ph. I let it dry out using the lift method, then start back with 1/4 nutes, and go up from there every other feeding. Hopefully your in smart pots, those are really the best when you're having to flush, my opnion.

 

[sizz0e]

Don't give her nutes until your pot drys up a bit from the flush. I would giver her 2-4 days to dry up, depending on your growing conditions.
