Burn Recovery?

Ok, heres the deal. I burned my babies a tad with some new nutes im using. AN Iguana juice bloom, and AN Big Bud. this was the first week of big bud(week 2). I Also had a slight spider mite infestation a week ago, but have since corrected this. The mites did take some toll on some of the plants but ive seen way worse and lived threw it. Im still seeing some tip curl, not everywhere, but still some. Since my last feed I have given them a straight water flush and I am basically wondering if I should comence with the next scheduled feeding which will be day after tomorrow. They are looking better but, still showing some signs of stress, is it safe to continue with nutes now, or do I wait for another flush. Ive attached pics. These are 16 days into flower.

Not to jump threads with this question, but would this be a good time to use a little super thrive? If so whats recomended?

I'm in week 4 of flower and just did a flush as well after seeing first signs of nute burn (pics in journal)

My girl is also coming out of it, my plan is to just use plain water next time, then water w/mollases, then re-start nutes, this will put off nutes for 2 more weeks as I water every 5 to 7 days

when you flash, either during or right after your supposed to add nutes. however, if you were burning them, im guessing it has something to do with too much heat possibly. the higher the heat, the lower the dose of nutes. either way you should only be using 1/4-1/3 of the recommended does for the first 2 weeks. i actually continue this until week 4-5 then i start pumping full nutes. (depending on temps)

I dont think my temps are a problem. I keep it 81f for day cycle, and it goes down to about 72 for night cycle. I was starting to up the nute amount and it was probobly too soon. but should I now start my nutes tomorrow? They are looking better, but I dont want to add to the problem. Thanks guys

So....any suggestions? Feed tomorrow or just water? I've never burned my girls before so its kinda new territoty for me. I think I just realized that I got my days mixed up too and fed a day early which would mean my soil was still wet and nutrient rich probobly the reason I burned em. Any suggestions a plus.

I think 81 F is a little to high hence the spider mites i keep mine at 72-75 and I have no troubles with heat or mites

Well the mites are gone, but 81 is inviting for mites, it is not dangerous to the plant, and unfortunately I am not as advanced as some setups(a work in progress) due to financial restrictions(Im a poor ma fucka who slaves my life away to feed my family with little or no money at this moment for upgrades). But ultimately thats not my question...Im well aware of my grow room shortcomings, im trying to figure out my technical knowledge shortcomings.


To Feed or not to Feed, that is the question.

hats off. Aside from burning with nutes, I finally figured out that I was hurting them with heat stress! It turns out my 3 1000w HPS bulbs were too close. After doing some more searching on riu forums I found a very informative post, I believe was by uncle ben, on plant stress that I moved my lights up, and within two days have made a giant turnaround. Heres some updated pics.

Day 26 into flower.

so how'd this turn out cuzo?
