first grow, 1 1/2 weeks into flower, recovering from serious nute lock out...

Hey there, just updating with some pics. Had a major nutrient lockout due to my reverse osmosis filter not actually working properly and my water being really hard, which then lead to major deficiencies and I confused the damage with nute burn cause I'm a noob. So... I flushed and them used foxfarm comeback/cal mag then full strength nutes. They are doing considerably better, or at least I think so?20151212_163900.jpg20151212_163839.jpg 20151212_163832.jpg20151212_163800.jpg

Should I stake them? Also I've done a little deleafing but should I do more since they are so crowded?? I'm pretty stoked with my first attempt thus far

Any feed back is appreciated Thanks!

Looks like quite the crowd you've got :D They all look very healthy so you did well w the recovery. I would advise doing somemore defoliation especially in the center of your canopy (which looks terrific) so you can get more light penetration towards the middle of your girls. I have no doubts your main colas will do fine, but trust me when I say they're not going to miss some fan leaves here and there if it gets you more weight. As luscious as those girls look and as big as those fan leaves are it'd do more good than harm imo. Whats the setup btw?

Technically, you did nute burn them. Im not sure what they used to look like, as long as they are recovering you'll be fine. Right now they appear to look pretty good besides a few pales here and there which i assume happened during the lockout. Btw, for a 1st time grower you did a hell of a job making an even canopy! Using all the same clones really helps with this. I'd stop the trimming as this can also make nute burn easier.

They look great, but maybe to many?

Definitely will only do 12 in this room next run, but going to make another room for veg when these finish so I can start some clones inside and put them outside in late march for that au natural light dep.

Thanks, did LST and its working well, going to re-tie the romulan tomorrow AM so I can get some light into the middle.

They looked like complete shit, I thought it was going to effect their growth a lot but the flush was the right choice whether it was burn or lock out I think, also foliar fed last week and it helped the burnt leaves recover ten fold.

I would say as long as they are stretching at this point you should be good. It could have been worse and stunted during stretch.

looks awesome! did you foliar feed with the same mix of nutes? I'm inspired..:bigjoint:

No I foliar fed the fox farm flower kiss, and nukeum which is an organic mold preventative (its super humid in my room because its freezing outside I have to use a heater in there....)
