This should be an easy yes or no for all you experts out there. After searching the forums for a while, Im pretty sure this is a simple nutrient overdose but I just want to make sure.

Ill make it easy on you all and make this a poll. Write something if you want, but a simple vote would be cool too. Surely the majority will be correct.

Info if you need it:

Day 23 (from initial seed germination)
Indoors (5 Cubic foot cabinet)
150 Watt 64K metal halide lighting
83-88F/50-70%
Watering when soil dries (usually every other day)
Soil is a custom mix; these measurments are per pot: ¼ C guanno; ¼ C 5-5-5 E.B. Stone organic all purpose plant food; 1 C worm castings; 2 ½ C organic potting mix (each scoop slightly heaping); ½ C vermiculite; ½ C perlite; ½ C pumice

Thanks and have a great Labor Day weekend! Blaze some up for this smoker who has to hold-off so he can get a job. :(

Peace.

I think u added nutes to early if thats what u did. They look way to young to start adding nutes already. But thats just me

Yeah, could be.

Wanting to give them an early boost, I added low-level ferts to the soil mix when I did the first re-pot (at day 12). I added 1/4 a cup of bat guano and 1/4 a cup of 5-5-5 organic all-puropse powdered fertilizer.

Then I made a batch of compost tea and watered them with that at day 14. Didnt see any harm in that as its mainly for living bacteria, not much for nutrients. My mix here was:

¼ C EB Stone organics compost
¼ C Worm castings
2 TBS Guano
2 TBS Un-sulfered molasses
2 TBS Liquid kelp

Mixed this all for 24 hrs in 2 gals of RO water with 2 bubble air stones and a dual-outlet air-pump. Watered all 3 plants with it (about 1.5qts per 5 cup pot).

Then when I initially thought this was from a lack of nitrogen, I sprinkled 1-2 Teaspoons of guano around each plant on day 19. Should have asked here before I did that...

So it is most likely an overdose of nitrogen.

Ill probably do a flush tomorrow. Ill wait for a few more replies just to be safe.

Thanks Ruhland, and everyone else for your help.

Peace.

EC (ppm) level of your water (with nutts)? Do you test your run-off?Watering every other day in soil is...well a lot. Whats your ph level? Does your plant have spave to drain properly?
