hey i planted a seed around 5 weeks ago an the plant has been growing nicely over those 5 weeks untill 2 days ago i tried to fertilise it an ever since then its just gone downhill the plants started turning yellowish an starting to look realy sick the leaves are all withering an shit wtf did i do? thanks

i scraped the fertiliser i could get off the top of the soil an have flushed water through it 3 or 4 times in hope that it will fix it

well u already flushed so now just wait and c
what kind of nutes and at what strength? just curious.
when i use chemical nutes i start with 25% of recommended and feed every 3rd or 4th watering

umm i didnt realy measure it i just put some stuff on it had nitrogen phosporus or however you spell it an some magnesium the bag said citrus fertiliser probably not the best stuff to use but i used some on it as a seed an it grew mint untill now

you need a water soluble "fertilizer" - get some nutes you can mix with water
for veg get something like 7-3-3
for flower get something like 3-7-3
and error on the conservative side until you get a feel for it
watch the tips of the lower leaves for signs of burn

it would help if you had a picture
sounds like you might loose the plant
options are flush some more
or take the healthiest cutting and start all over
or just wait it out
a couple pix would help

what kind are you using? and if its miracle grow you need to use hardly any..because it will burn your plant alive..and like he said only everry few waterings...also do NOT get it on your actual plant.

yup ill see if i can get some pics now i lost my camera somwhere so ill have a quick look for it now

 

[Jaiixd]

you should use a natural fertilizer...bat guano is amazing..and you can tell the effects within a day I promise

its nothing special its just "citrus fertiliser" it says on the bag i only used a tiny little bit aswell anyways iv flushed it an the water coming out the bottem was a green sorta coulour should i flush it clear or will it be that colour cause it runs through the soil?

 

[jeffchr]

IMO flush until it's clear
