Nute burn spreading wild, affecting whole plant.

I have a 9 week old female from bagseed, just started flower two days ago. She was transplanted about two weeks ago into 5 gallon. Soil is FF Ocean Forest, using direct sunlight. She is 33" tall.

There was originally some very minor nute burn right before transplant, also root bound. Since transplant, NUTE BURN HAS GOTTEN 10X WORSE, AND IT JUST KEEPS SPREADING, even to smaller leaves. I thought that she would have bounced back by now, apparently not. I have not given her any nutrients at all, just what was in FF Ocean Forest soil. I've been watering every 5 days.

Leaves started burning on very edges, but I also have spots, some white some brown. The bottom of the plant looks worst with couple leaves completely dead, light yellow but thats not my concern, the very top is started to get seriously affected with all leaves curling / folding inward.

Is there anything I can do to stop this nute burn? Or does my plant just have to use up all the nutrients in the soil first ?

I think you should rinse plant til soil runoff back to 6.5 or so.

Right now i think its not getting water cuz its locked.. so it WAS nute burn but now who knows.

I say wash it and no nutes for few days see what happens..

yo .
step one , if you could get some 'seaweed extract' find a bigger pot and place some soil / then seaweed extract/ water / then transplant it . Sea weed extract can be used to help the roots REGROW after the rips n tears from transplanting . Try getting clean water, with GOOD PH . Don't use anymore nuets . Strictly water for a few days n hope for change..

Happy growing man! good luck!

yo,
1. read the post
2. plant was just transplanted two weeks ago
3. roots didn't rip or tear
4. i am using bottled water
5. I haven't used any nutrients what so ever.
6. I've been using straight water since beginning, never added anything, see number 5.

Important to have accurate information, which is why I write the paragraph, this way future repliers are not confused.

FF is real strong for some cuttings coming from just SCotts soil. That could be the burn there. But just sayin i think right now its locked.. u should test pH of the soil runoff

yeah I also think the ocean line from foxfarm that in a 5 gallon bucket just from the time release I believe thats in there. just wrecked your plant . try and flush it and start over? Don't forget the seaweed extract when transplanting if you do that .!

if your soil is to hot then take a bag of worm castings and make a tea out of them by mixing the castings with warm pH balanced water you will end up with brown water with muck on the bottom of whatever you are mixing the two in. I recommend a large tupperware container or a bucket. If its just one plant then an ice cream pail will do. Pour the worm water over the soil and trim off dead foliage. It is a tough plant, it will come back. Oh yeah, for gosh sakes repot that thing into a 7 gallon or better using the left over castings mixed with some good sterile soil.

what do you mean by start over? Dude, you need to learn a little more before you start handing out advice. Neither of your posts make ANY sense.
 
Sorry to see your having a problem with your plant. It's always a pain to get ahead of a problem once it starts. Looking at your pictures I agree that you have a nut. burn problem. Now you just need to find out why. An earlier post said to test the run off water Ph and I agree that's the best place to start. Ph issues are in my experience the most common issues growers have. Also, just because your using bottled water doesn't mean its pure, most of it is city tap water labeled to fool people, so test it also. Another possibility is the new soil. You went from Scotts to Fox Farms that's a hell of a jump. I have used Ocean Forest for awhile now and it takes a little getting used to, its a stand alone media for at at least 2 weeks. So your plant may be in "shock" due to a new on set grow media with a much higher nutrient level. SO my point here would be; test the run off and starting water Ph, and take the appropriate action (probably a really good flush). Best of luck.

Have you had a string of hot days lately? Just wondering if maybe the burn could be heat stress.... nute burn is such an easy thing to throw out there as a problem (not saying it isn't) but i feel it is good to explore all possibilities.
 
IT WAS A PH PROBLEM. I TRANSPLANTED HER AGAIN INTO FF OCEAN FOREST SOIL WITH 35% PERLITE, 3-4 TBSPs DOLOMITE LIME, BUT THIS TIME I TEASED A LOT OF THE ROOTS, LIGHTLY REMOVING THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOT BALL SO THE ROOTS HANG DOWN AND AFTER ONE DAY SHE LOOKS GREAT.

I THINK SOIL WAS ACIDIC, AROUND 6.0.

Do you realize the runoff ph and ppms are very very unaccurate. I've had a lot of issues with the ffof but this grow I'm using advance nutes and I have my best looking grow ever using the ffof right out of the bag you don't have to add nothing my runoff is low like 5.4 -5.9 ph and the ppms one 1850 and the rest was over the limit of my meter at 1990 ppms but these are some of the best looking plants I've ever grown~
