Hi all

I just have a question being new to this and failing to read intrictiobs till after doing something my plants are in have just entered their 5th week of veg and I used baby bio values r N-10.6 P-4.4 K-1.7 I used a capful to 2 litres of water. After reading up on cannabis feeding with baby bio I saw guys say it is to strong and only a 1/4 dose should b used so I immediately flushed my babies with clean water will they be ok?

They'll be fine.. Watch your leaf tips they tell the story of what is up.. Too much nutes and the leaves will grow crooked instead of straight. Typically you should start with 1/2 strength nutes and work up from there. IDK anything about the nutes your using though someone else will have to comment on that.. But with the quick flush you should be fine if the possibility of damage was there..

I will keep an eye on them being my first grow I was really scared that the damage may have been done. By flushing though is there any chance of them suffering effects of over watering?

Unless you have holes in the bottom of those bags that line your containers then you are setting yourself up for a world of trouble.

I dont know if its related but the drooping leaves is a sign that something isnt happy. If the bags are not preforated at the bottom, then you could be retaining too much water. Laso, you want to water till it drains out of the botton of your containers every once in a while. It helps flush salts, control ph, gax exchange and on and on.

Yes I did makebsure there are more holes in the bags than in the bottom of the bucket. The leaves are now fine infact leaves are reaching up and now it's week 5 and one of them started showing preflowers this week so I have flipped the lights today so I have entered the next stage on my first grow. Thank u for your advise and the info as this is my first grow and already I made a mistake (noob) lol

your hitting the nutrients slightly to hard . back off a little . so just use plain water for the next few watering then feed again but less . they look almost perfect . can tell by the leafs . the very ends see them starting to fold up . a few pics above .
