Holy Cow - Nute Burned

[ShinKicker]

So I went to bed last night and woke up this morning to some burned leaf tips. I'm pretty sure this is nute burn..?! maybe?I have been watering with Fox Farm's Grow Big 2 teaspoons per gallon, but as of this morning I've just been using plain distilled water.

I've got 4 CFL 100W 6500K and 1 CFL 1000k 2700K going, and the girls are about 5 weeks old (well 5 weeks officially tomorrow.)

What to do....what to do...

Back off to 1 tea. per gallon from now on. They should be okay in a few weeks if that's the only problem. Make sure your getting good drainage if they are in pots. I make more holes for the clones that are in waiting to hit the ground dirt.

cut your nute strength to about 1/2 and if it persists cut it to 1/3 it should only need to be increased again around mid flower.

So many people seem to get nutrient burn from Fox Farm. I, luckily, haven't had any of these problems. I bought the full line and have been following the chart. The only time I used 1/2 strength was for the first week of seedling stage. When I say I bought the full line I mean all of the dirty dozen, wholly mackerel, and even Kelp me Kelp you. I'm in second week of veg and all is looking better than what I've seen others post. The mistake I see most make is they use soil with nutrients in them. I use Dr. Q's soil which is an organic soil. I highly recommend it.

Fox farm has good stuff, they just don't tell beginners how to use it. Following the chart will burn up your plants, especially if you use OF, like you said.

The first block on the chart says "seedlings and clones" as if the two of them will mature in the same time. They don't tell you how long to keep your seedling/clone feedings going either.

You just gotta get in there and start killing plants.

So it's been a day and when I checked out my girls, one is doing one but the other YIKES! I haven't used any nute for my last watering (yesterday) but the burns keep coming.

That's exactly what I was thinking too..

I agree to much nutes. I use ffof mixed with sunshine #4, and no nutes until week 5. Then I start with FF bloom nutes. The soil has enough nutes for 5 or 6 weeks of veg IMO.

FF soil doesn't need any nutes for veg, especially ocean forest.

With ocean forest I don't give any nutes until they flower.

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about.

I agree, he does know what he's talking about. Why then, do you say you follow the FF chart, which has you hitting them with 3tsp grow big / 2 Tsp tiger bloom at week 4?

Because I don't use FFOF.

Fair enough

I like fox farm stuff. It's a punch in the neck when noobs load up on it, and 3 grows later you realize it's not meant to be used together. (Like I did) lol

BTW I'm no where near an expert grower but I've done a ton of research. If my wife was cool with me spending money on this hobby I'd have an insane setup.

Guess you just need to start putting a dollar here a couple of dollars there, aside you know, and therefore "get to use" more than you usually "are allowed to".

My problem isn't the space, because it does exist - plenty of it - but using the space properly or more efficiently. Like for instance putting a 1x2metre tent in said space, or even a bigger one. That's about it..

Fox farm happy frog soil, dirty dozen. 150% of that schedule they give me.

I think you've got something other than nute burn.
