Can someone help please? Blue Dream Auto is burned!

Germinated on 10/1.
Ocean forest soil flushed before planting with ph 6.42-6.72 R/O water

Fed first time 1/4 strength GH Floral series on day 29 from germ. Then got on a water/feed cycle. Second feeding was 1/2 strength
The third feeding I dropped back down a little.
I’ve been trying real hard not to over do it.
Also all plants have been on same fed/water schedule, but the other three are dry and almost ready for a feeding but this plant is still wet and the leaves are brittle like she hasn’t had water in forever.
So why is she not drinking?

Out of the four plants I have (different strains all autos) this is the worst. I would really appreciate people’s options as I would really like to fix this or at least not doing it again in the future.

Should I leave the burnt leaves on, or pick them off? And advice would be great
The last feeding she had on 11/16
1.25ml micro,1.25ml gro, 2mlbloom, 5 drops floralicious plus, 1ml honey, 2ml floral blend, and 3ml calimagic and a pinch of Epsom.
They always get Cali magic and a pinch on Epsom wether it’s water or feeding
Also all four are under one 600watt hps light and a uvb fluorescent bulb

As always all comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks :passitleft:

Hi,
Every plant has its own needs, different dosage in nutrients and different needs in water. Even two plants from the same strain can have different needs.

Could you just answer one question?
Why wait so long to ask for help?
This isn't a "happened over a day" thing
 
That is severe...I don't know jack about nutrient feeding, just wondering if there are contributing factors (as well as nutrients) such as lighting and/or wind burn.


Light could be a contributing factor. I raised the lights already. Definitely not wind burn, I have fans in the tent but that definitely wouldn’t be a factor that particular plant wasn’t directly by a fan.

I was trying to take care on my own by just watering. Obviously it wasn’t working lol
 
I've never grown an auto. I read they were light feeders. 1/2 strength looks to be too much for a small plant.


I am new to autos also this is my 8th plant
Still trying to figure out the feeding. The first two feedings were 1/4 feed that’s why I upped the nuts to half. And this is the first Blue Dream I guess I’ve just found out she needs a lot less then the other strains I have.
 
Thank you everyone for your help.

Why would she stop drinking though and should I wait until she dries or flush her right away?
 
It is ok, but you need to see if you can save it.
Just plain water, a big flush....
Cut some of the lower bad leaves..
Give us a new pick... Stem is ok?

I’ll check and get back to you
 
The reason she isn't drinking is that she has too many salts in her root zone. This is effecting the osmotic pressure in the plant. She won't drink until this is corrected. Do a flush like Angry birds suggested.

Are you following a feeding schedule of some kind? What was her initial reaction to the 1/4 dose?

Ok cool I’m in the middle of flushing right now.
I have 3 gal ready to go with 5ml GH FloralKleen and PH’d to 6.63-6.67.

Should I do more then three gallons?

She seemed fine for the first two feeds at a 1/4 dose of the General Hydroponics Floralseries feed chart

Autos only need about half the food a photo plant needs . Think your over feeding her what are your temps like and rh ?
 
How big are your pots? I've heard to flush 3x the volume of your pot. I've also heard 5x. There are those that use a ppm/tds or ec meter to test run-off until it is in the desirable range. I have not come across burn like this personally. Once they are burned this bad, they have a real hard time transpiring. There is just so much damage to the stomata present.

Since it is an auto, this will greatly effect any harvest. This will set her back no doubt. I just wonder, since she's an auto, if she will really have time to recover. But like I said, I have no experience growing autos.
 
Just curious. how long did it take to get to this point?
