wait do i pour the whole half gallon nute mix in to? i thought i only needed three times the pot size? its a one quart soil pot so 2 quarts of water and 1 quart of the half gallon nute mix?
Pour enough of the Nute mix to get run-off coming out your container drain holes. You want to make sure your Nute Mix gets through all your soil. So you dont need to pour the 1/2 gallon but at least enough to get plenty of run-off. Make sure you take pics. I just made it rain on one of my plants, is it ok to show you before and after pics on here?

Ok bro 1st thing 1st...get rid of the male plant. If its a male and you are 100% sure cull it now.
Take Pics of your plant before you do this and take pics of your plant after your done with this. Take some pics though especially of the curling leaves and stuff. It helps when we can see what the problem is.

Next you said your soil container is 1 quart. So Take 1 gallon of tap water and pH it between 5.5pH to 5.8pH. I know you are using a strip so get the color of that one gallon of water between 5.5 and 5.8. I recommend you do it 1 hour after your lights come on for the start of the day!!!!
After your 1 gallon of water is at the pH betweem 5.5-5.8 then slowly pour using a garden spout buckets and pour the entire one gallon of water into you 1 quart soil container(NOT OVER YOUR PLANTS JUST IN THE SOIL CONTAINER). Have a bowl sitting next to your container cause as soon as the water(RUN-OFF) starts draining catch it with the bowl or cup so you can test it when your done to see what the pH is at. I will go over how to read it later when you are done.

After you poured the 1 gallon of 5.5-5.8pH water into your container then get a half of gallon of water and this is what I want you to mix in it.
Grow Big (1/2 tsp) 50% / Big Bloom (1/2 tblsp) 50% mix the two into the 1/2 Gallon of Water. Shake it up real good.
I am using 50% dosage of Week#2 of the Fox Farm Feeding Schedule. We will start her off slow and then work or way up to hopefully 100% or more dosage. Its all what your plant can handle.

Once its mixed real good test the pH on the mix using your pH test strips. You will now need to pH the Nutrient Mix to 6.5pH.
After your Nutrient Mixed Water is pH to 6.5 pour it evenly around your plants container(NOT ON YOUR PLANT JUST IN THE SOIL), the whole 1/2 gallon of Nutrient Mix Water.

Once it stops leaking from your drain holes of your container put her back into your closet and make sure the temps are around 75F-78F.

Dont freak out your plant will be doing some super droopiness but thats ok she is going into HYPERDRIVE!. You will see a change in her the next day if you do it correctly. Just make sure you get the pH as close as possible. I would also recommend you get some kind of Cal/Mag or Micro Nute. I use EarthJuice MicroBlast. My plants seem to love it and it works good with the Fox Farm Lineup. Keep me posted I been really busy with xmas and getting gifts wrapped. I will be on tomorrow so keep me posted and lets hope we get your girl back on line. But get this done asap.
Have a nice xmas bro!!!
Peace

Here are the directions.....1 gallon but if you can measure out 3 quarts then do that but nothing less....I wanna make sure you get everything out of your soil....Thats why I said 1 gallon so it will wash away everything in there. But dont go any less then 3 quarts....as a matter of fact if you do 3 quarts of flushing with 5.8 then do a 1/2 gallon of nute mix which is 2 quarts. Just like I wanna make sure your soil is coated with a fresh coat of nutes so your girl will suck that shit up right away! The longer you wait the more stunned your plant becomes which means it will get worse before netter. So go flush my man! Here are the directions! Very simple, 3 quarts of 5.8pH water then wait like 15 minutes and give it 1/2 gallon of that nute mix I gave you! Then smoke a bowl and take some pics of your droopy plant and tomorrow you will start to see a difference if you do it correctly.

bekindbud have you ever ordered from nirvana ?
I had a SnowWhite Seed from Nirvana, never grew it cause I hooked up a friend who helped me fix my plant. But he is going to grow it next grow which should start in Feb. I heard they were legit and good. I have a bunch of seeds to work with especially after my last order. I will give you a lineup of my seeds. I have to post on my journal I think I had root rot with a plant but hopefully I fixed it, I transplanted it and hope it will get better.

View attachment 1348120View attachment 1348115View attachment 1348119ok i did exactly as written this is what she looks like so far
Ok so that the plant after you did the making it rain correct? She does look droopy so hopefully tomorrow she will be perking up. When you did it, did you catch the first run-off and test it? What was the pH of that run-off? Just keep her under the lights now and make sure your temps are between 74-78F. I got my fingers crossed for you and your plant. Now dont forget your plant is prolly stunned a bit cause of the problem you had with the pH or lockout and now the flushing, so it will take a couple of days for her to recover. Just keep an eye out of the new growth cause the old leaves that are burnt or dis-colored wont get better just focus on the new growth. Poor girl I hope she gets better now! I am sure she will, these plants are forgiving.

Real quick how far from your plant are your lights?

You are going to feed your plant they way you just did for now on....I wish you would of tested the immediate run-off but ok. Now you sit and wait till she gets light in weight, prolly about 4 to 5 days, I would move your light so its about 8" away from the cool tube, i think 3" is too close right now. Your plant is stressed and we need to get her healthy again. Now we are not going to flower her till she is fully recovered. You want to bring a healthy plant into flowering not a stressed or stunned plant. I would let her veg for about 2 weeks, prolly dont want to hear that but at least se will be ready for flowering then.

Here are pics of my plant Baby Lou who I did a transplant on yesterday and made it rain on her after that and today she is perking up and looking better.

Pic #1 Baby Lou yesterday after making it rain droppy
Pic #2 Baby Lou today perking

no but if you want you can just clip the leaf off not the stem of the leaf....dead or dried leaves will bring infections and diseases to the plant...well thats what i read. IMHO I would clip that one burnt yellow leaf I saw in the pic. I am really hoping this works out for you and you learn a new technique in watering and feeding your plant

1st grab it and give alittle tug right where the branch meets the leaf. If it doesnt come off easily then take sissors make sure they are clean, I usually wipe mine with alcohol before ever cutting anything. Clip only the LEAF not the branch that is connected to the Stem and the Leaf you are cutting...hope you understand what I am saying cause I just smoked a "J"

You know whats funny B16 I still never harvest any plants yet. LOL but dont worry I will be in a week or so and I will teach you.
1st: Those leaves that you are talking about being burnt and fried looking, were they burnt before the Making It Rain or After?
2nd: You can see the immediate difference since when you flushed to now...The top new growth is so perky now and looks full of life now. Your plant is on a full recovery quicker than you think. Watch in 2 weeks what that plant will look like...
Tell me its not a beautiful thing to see your plant perk up and suck up some fresh nutes...This is a beautiful moment cause I actually helped my 1st person on getting their plant back on track. Sorry I am not bragging at all I am happy I could help you like other people helped me on here. FUCK YEAH!!!!! What is your Plants name? Gotta name that baby!!!!

Keep up the good work B16
