Is this the infamous nitrogen claw?

wow. Idk. I dont use fox farm. The dirt i was using that had that prob was just some generic brand i guess, as i cant remember what it was. I got it at a nursery. My plants were near death before i learned it was a ph prob. I did the flush, which wasnt a whole lot of water. Maybe 2 gallons and it was a 5 gallon pot. I did it again the next day. After 2 days they were growin green and fast again. Sorry man i dont know what else to tell u since ive never used fox farm. Maybe its just bad luck.

I hope they turn out good for u. Sry i cant b much help

personally, I wouldn't worry about the "claw" formation of the leafs tips... as I've found that eventually.. sometime during the flowering period.. just about all cannabis plants eventually form this "claw" look.

It's nothing to worry about IMO.. because eventually, once harvest time comes along.. the plants leafs are no longer in the picture of things. All we growers worry about.. is the final product (the buds).

But yeah, again.. I wouldn't be too concerned about this. I currently have my last Nirvana Ice plant growing, she's in flowering.. day #34 flowering to be exact.. and she's starting to form some of the "claw" type leafs your experiencing with your plant.. and I've had this happen to me plenty of times.. and its never caused any major problems. In other words, this "claw" mutation of the leafs.. has never effected my harvests in the past. So, I've really never worried about it.

Anyhow, good luck to ya's.

peace.

6.0 is an improvement from 5.0 ...is your PH meter calibrated? Yes I have flushed like this, this is the prefered method by all soil growers..

No worries bud. Honestly Im already more pleased with my first attempt than I thought I would be, just a little picky and wanted them to be perfect. I will see what happens to this one but I am going to continue with my regular watering and feeding until harvest with the other two. I'm not spending 40 more bucks on water to do them. Next time i will just add some of my agg. lime to the mix.

hey mongo I dont use meters I use the drops. I think you misread the post there was no improvement i just took a sample of the ffof right out of the bag and poured super alkaline (8.5+) water through it and still came up acidic(6.0). With my actual flush with neutral water there was no change at all i have four little vials that i was using and they were all the same shade of fluorescent orange(indicates 5.0) the whole way through. The only part that looks even close to lockout would be the fan leaves that are tucked and covered by other growth on the lst i have pulled them up to show.

damn you guys are responding faster than i can see it.
Ganjluvr I am kinda leaning towards your school of thought on this whole thing.
thanks alot to all of yall. If I come across frustrated its not towards you guys.
