Crazy Colors and I Don't Know What it is.

Hey I have an Afghani Kush (hog) plant that is About a month and a week into the flowering stage. I noticed that there was a nitrogen deficiency because of the droopiness and the increasing yellowness of the leaves. I fed it a fertilizer with a good supply of nitrogen in it and three days later the more mature leaves are turning red and gold and are curling up. Some leaves have turned more green but the older ones havent. Is it just what happens when you let it get nitrogen defficent or is it something else.
Anything helps
Thanks.

um....huh.... damn i got nothing man..... um nuet burn? i guess..... um ya how much fert did you use?

It does look like nute burn. I am new to growing myself but from what I have read, you want little to no nitrogen during the flowering phase. Maybe someone with more growing experience can chime in to help you out.

Yeah I used the Tiger Bloom fertilizer, just what the bottle recommended. It is 2-8-4.
I heard putting used coffee grounds in the soil is good for nitrogen is that true?

after the third week into flowering the roots stop putting on extra groth its nitrogen toxicity

Thanks Robert. What do you suggest I do?
Besides not giving it anymore nitrogen

its hard to say , the nutes need to be flushed out but then you take a chance of stressing from over watering lets see if someone else will chime in with some advice .. im a believer in less is better

it looks like the PH is out of whack. Get a kit and test the run-off and balance it out using baking soda or vinegar. I do not think it is a burn, most if not all burns start on the new growth and PH and deficiency problems start with the older growth. Good luck, they are definitely worth saving.

Hahaha I would not normally worry when seeing these colours

Because I grow organically and always over fert but they always come out amazingly because of the super soil.

Since you are however using chem nutes.

Flush like crazy

I dont think you will be able to get out the chem taste now though

Phosphorus (P) deficiency:
Figure 11 is severe phosphorus (P) deficiency during flowering. Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.
Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.
Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.


nut lock out by overloading on the wrong nutes

Thanks everyone usually no one replies lol...

I didnt use that much fertilizer. I was kinda lacking so thats why me and my friends thought it was nitrogen deficiency. I'm going to check the soils pH tomorrow. What is a good pH level for a plant in this stage of flowering (5 weeks)?
Thanks for replying
