Hello again. I have a plant about 3 weeks into flower maybe 4 and i started upping the feeding and the amount. On sunday i noticed the leafs at the bottom were a little yellow so i upped the amout of nutes it was getting. then tonight when i checked up on it again the bottom leaves are wilting a lot and feel soft and weak. I thought it was overwatering at first but ruled that out when its been 5 days and the plant is only in a 5gal bucket and its about 3 feet tall. Anyway I flushed the fucker and was wondering how long it will take to see results and what kind of damage was dont to this plant. any help would be great, thanks.

Flush and make sure not to over water try some Cyco nutes doctor repair diluted into a spray bottle? works for me
what the hell does this mean :)) not to over water lol nute lock out ?????? is caused by what ???? to much salt in your medium causeing ph to drop only way to h0pefully repair this is FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH with ph'd water how long will it take probably about 1 week is there any damage hard to tell anytime you stress a plant your yields will suffer if any leafs are showing signs of burning or yellowing your probably going to lose them

lol flushed the shit outta it and only the first 2 leaves it made died so i hope the damage wasnt too bad. how often should i be watering it? i go about every 3 days and use 1.5l and get some runoff when done.

the first thing i thought is the bottom leafs will yellow, in flower u cut back on nitrogen (helps keep plants green n growing tall) uping phos, and potash. also if the bottom leafs dont get light they yellow an die. the last thing you should do is just uping your dose of nutes just because u have or think you have a problem, identifythe problem then work on a cure. as far as watering let the top layer (about 1 inch) dry, i let mine get to almost wilting before i water my moms.

yep it was too much nutes and they have bounce back nicely even grew about an inch or close to it. Im gonna keep the nutes to recommended doses and water every 2-3 days wich is what i have been doing and i was working. thanks again everyone

try going by the weight of the pot. the plant will get lighter when it needs water. thats what we do. the mrs sometimes over waters and imo it's better to have my kids thristy then drowned :peace:

thanks again to everyone, here are some pics of my grow as its going now. the seed was put in the dirt on oct 10 or 12 and i toped it a few weeks later as soon as the new tops grew i sent it into flower. It has a 320w MH bulb on top and 6x54w T5's any guess to what the weight will be? the top of the box is 5' so plant and pot are about 4 maybe less.

I know a shitload plays a factor to final weight but just a rough guess from anyone who has grown. I grew outside this year and this is my first attempt of growing indoors as you can tell by my setup
