Big problems with my Pot plant- Potassium Def due to Nute Lock? (Pics)

One more Question: Has anybody actually witness a plant come back from a nute burn this bad?

I have already accepted that fact that my yield won't be nearly as good as it could be and that this will prob add weeks to my flowering time; but does anybody think my plant will even make it?

I saw some plants looking just like this. Thought it was nutrient lock and went ahead doing flushes. But it just got progressively worst. Ends up the plants were actually rootbound in their pot. First off, the pot was too small. A rule of thumb is 1 gallon for every month of life. Another thing was watering everyday. This caused the roots to wrap around the bottom of the pot where the water was most abundant. It wrapped and wrapped until it chocked itself. You really need to let the soil dry out between watering. This allows the roots to expand vertically searching for wet soil.

Sounds good. they are in the process of drying now

do you think I will need a bigger pot?

My book says 1 to 2 gallon pots are sustainable but idk

I will mull over going to the hydro store and getting a bigger pot but IF i do that I am sure my plant with outgrow my grow chamber in height. guess there is no other alternative tho.

I'll give that a shot tomorrow after New Years...

Anybody else have input? this is good stuff

and nobody ever said flush multiple times in a row. To recover your plant: FLUSH, then when it dries out WATER with eh 20%runoff maybe a tad more. NOT a FLUSH just a normal WATER. Then continue normal WATER untill you see recovery (letting it dry out in between). Don't flush over and over and over. Also make sure to ph your water to 6.0

Yeah they are drying right now. Been one day no water and about to give them another. Out of town actually hahaha. They might get a watering tomorrow depending on the moisture of the soil. I flushed them one more time cause I paniced when I saw them wilted the first time and made a noob mistake and gave them more nutes. They will not be getting flushed anymore and they will be receiving JUST distilled water for ATLEAST a week and half, maybe two. By then they will be in week 7 or 8 of flowering so I shouldn't be giving them nutes anyways.

I might be able to get away with no more nutes, if they survive that is. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the help by the way. I'd like to give rep+ to anyone who provides significant help. My small way of saying thanks. Lemme know if i forgot you

pics tomorrow when i get home

My girl looks better today! Dont get me wrong, she is still highly discolored but I can see signs of improvement with the color of the leaves and the perkiness of the branches.

After the flush they had 2 nights of no water and it looks like that did alot of good. I plan to stick to the 2 days dry, one day wet schedule until i see a significant improvement in the girls. NO NUTES. I think i can get away with no more nutes for the rest of her life but idk.

Here are some pics, lemme know what you think

Now your starting to sound like you know what your doing :) Glad we could help. Ya i think it would b best if you could get away with no more nutes. Your end result will be very clean not harsh buds. Bud is very enjoyable that way! Also, your bud will reach an enjoyable point MUCH earlier (with less cure) if you dont use nutes anymore.
