Nute burn how much do I flush?(pics)

I dont want to over water it but how much water do I use to flush it out?
It is outside and in a pot with holes at the bottom.

I think you over feed it.. Have you figure out how to fix it yet?

i just flushed it 2 gallons of water and now i am just gonna let nature take its course. The female hairs are sprouting more and more so maybe it will just grow out of it and only those tips will be damaged. I am not gonna give it anymore nutes unitl its time to use bloom stuff.

Leaves look fine, nothing wrong with them. i dont think you needed to fush.

This is my 13 Day old plant and it has a little bit of yellow at tip of a couple leaves. I am running a 400watt MH and using miracle grow. could it be nute burn??

yes it could be nute burn how old is the plant and have u been giving nutes besides what is in the soil

You can't really flush out soil grows what u need to do is stop using nutes right now, and just use R/O water or Distilled water, for the next week or two.. No nutes.. Need to be careful with flushing soil grows even if the pot has holes at the bottom the soil soaks up alot of water so you might have just drowned your plant

Is the mg time release nutes ? that can burn them

plant is 13 days old and I have been using Miracle grow furtilizer and schultz soil I feed them MC on leaves too havin this problem with more than one

MG is crap man never use it buy some liquid nutes like GH Flora..

kk is soil ok? and can my fan blow on the plants a lil its gettin hot in there or just use for venting

When using soil try and get soil with not fert in it as long as a fan you can use alittle oscillating fan but depends on what lights your using and how big the space is u might need to get real venting..

plants are in window right now lol nice and sunny

I'll assume you know what you're talking about and that the plants have nute burn.

Flush for a week with a 5% nute solution. By 'a week' I mean, water as you normally would after the soil dries out, but use the 5% solution to do so. Using no nutes at all is not a good idea because you may end up with nutrient lock. Nutrient lock can occur after a plant has been receiving nutes for a while then suddenly they stop coming; the plant 'thinks' there are no more nutrients to be had and will 'lock up' to preserve the nutes already in its system. Again, use a 5% solution of nutes and water to flush, not plain water. Water when the soil has dried out and not before. Use lots of water - until it comes out the drain holes - when you do water. (This would be 5% of your personal normal dose, not necessarily 5% of what it says on the label - see last big paragraph.)

Shultz soil is a little heavy ... if you live in Canada get ProMix HP, ProMix BX, ProMix Potting and Seeding Mix or Sunshine Mix #4. If you don't live in Canada find a triple-mix by Fox Farm. (Also an option in Canada) (This is for next time and are my personal recommendations - not your only options of course.)

If the plants haven't recovered after a week, do it again for another week. Miracle Grow ferts are highly concentrated and I usually tell beginners to stay away from them. I use MG Bud Booster as an additional additive to my flowering cycle but only about 1/5 of a teaspoon to 2 gallons of water - very little. (This is along with my other nutes during the 'normal' part of my bloom schedule.)

Make sure you understand what a normal dose is for you. The recommendations on the labels of nutrients should be considered for use with 1000 watt lights or greater, or, for outside growing. If you have less light than that, your normal dose will be smaller. For example, if using a 400 watt light your normal dose will be about 1/2 of what it says to use on the label. (A VERY common mistake.) Another example: Let's say the label says to use 20 ml per 5 gallons of water. That's what you would use if you are growing outside or have 1000 watts of light or more. If you have a 400 watt, your dose would be 1/2 of that, or 10 ml per 5 gallons of water. If someone says use a 50% solution of nutes, for the person with the 1000 watt it would be 10 ml. For the person with the 400 watt it would be 5 ml. I think you get the idea now. (I made those numbers up for demonstration purposes.)

Hope this helps. I think there was more I wanted to add but I've forgotten now.

do you think its an okay setup?? 400watt MH 3feet above mirror

if thats a mirror remove it they, yes they are reflective but they focus heat and can cause hot spots that could of burned your plants as well

Also if thats foil take it down you want mylar or white paint.. Foil causes hot spots as well

i just painted it uploadin pics
