Nitrogen toxicity during flowering! help please

[Seb Davies]

To cut a long story short no one told me not to use Miracle grow soil and I think I know why -_- bent tips, lower leaves turning yellow and dying, dark green leaves at the top.

3 week of flowering and I've noticed that something was up and now I've flushed them with 2 gallons of water (1gallon tub)
Is this flushing going to help/ fix this or what ??? Help please this is my birthday purple bud for September

flushing is the only thing that I can think of flush with 3:1 ratio if your pot is 1gal flush the pot with 3gal of water

looks a bit like heat stress to me, not nitrogen toxicity..

 

[racerboy71]

you can't flush time release nutes that are in a soil like miracle grow..

 

[Seb Davies]

I'm anxious about that too as I've just seen a post that said every time you add water with slow realise it's just feeding it!! Ahhh why did I use MG

Checked heat stress symptoms and they don't match nitrogen toxicity matches 100% plus it's never above 25C with Co2 generated

flushing wont help with MG soil. I would repot asap. And if they have been on 12/12 in flower for 3 weeks then i would look for a light leek.

Your getting the right answers, you just have to believe them!

MG soil has way too much of everything as far as NPK goes......Scotts did that on purpose to screw up MM growers.....They even admitted it back when they bought G&H in a press release! So they've been doing it for years now!

If I repot now isn't there a real high chance of stressing her and killing any chance of a good crop? Is there another way? And what do you mean a light leak ? She's just stunnted because of the nitrogen problem

bud from N tox plants really sucks. its probably worth the risk of shock from repotting

 

[mollymcgrammar]

Just be careful. Put it in a bigger pot if you can too. Dont try and get all th MG off the roots, just get out what ever will come off easy.

Also, do it when the soil is dry, and water after repotting.

I don't think there is a good remedy at this point. Over feeding in flower means you can no longer reach the plants genetic potential. So it goes...most of us have been there before.

Well you guys have pretty much said it all re-potting is the way to go from here but its not ideal, just in case anybody else has the same problem and sees this though

 

[cannabisdoctor]

also do n the lights out cycle don't put roots into the light and never use mg.

 

[Seb Davies]

Thanks everyone for not mocking my bad choice and giving me good information I have some cheap ass soil that I know has no nutrients because it was £1 for a big bag lol will be repotting soon and will take a picture and let you guys know

These plants have been growing in this soil for quite some time (I'm assuming). Why would they show these symptoms now and not weeks ago? Is it that the time release nutes buildup?

 

[mollymcgrammar]

Update?

Just wondering why not use miracle grow? I agree the soil is too hot but what issues do you have with miracle grow in general?
