Nutrient Deficiency In Dire Need

Jake_Slayer317 · Mar 4, 2020

Plant is 5 1/2 weeks old getting 18hours light 6 hours no light, I water it about 400ml rn half then half 30min later. Pretty dried out and needs nutrients am about to water and feed it but I have no clue how much nutrients to add in. I’ve looked at charts and websites to figure it out but I still don’t understand. I posted pictures of the fertilizers I have. Plz hlp

I’d personally say that’s a nutrient toxicity rather than a deficiency

You shouldn’t need much nutrients at all at the moment looks like your in soil. Soil provides nutrients for a few weeks during the plants life

Give the plant a few litres of plain water let it drain out the bottom quite a bit and give water only for next couple of waterings and it will bounce back. When you see leaves starting to go lighter green introduce nutrients at 1/4 the recommended amount

Fox Farms

Disclaimer: I have never used Fox Farms, I just like to burn the bandwagon. I will try it someday so I can say I have

fox farms aint bad its just its super strong and can nuke your soil easily that's what I noticed from their line

So you only need the Big Bloom and Grow Big in the growing stage...at your stage of 5 weeks directions call for 3 teaspoons, or 15 ml, of each. You want to keep your PH between 6.3-6.8 in soil.

The Tiger Bloom is for when you get into flowering.

If you are using a soil that has nutes in it already than you could reduce this amount...They already have a little tip burn which is a sign of over fertilizing. I'd start with a 50% weaker solution and go from there....or just plain water for now if your soil already has nutes.

Newbie here. From what I've read and seen here I'd say flush them pots with plain water till you get a nice clean run off. I'm guessing the stuff that comes out first is gonna be rich enough to make any house plant stoked to be alive.

Then next time do what the fella above said and ease into the food. Love me some plants!

I use FFOF. It is terrible alone. Great when blended as an addition. But this looks over watered and Nutes are too high. Not knowing your plant I'd suggest 300-350 PPM at 6.2 - 6.5 PH. The lower PH. buffers FFOF's nasty nute issues.

I haven’t fed it once yet

If that’s the case what you got it planted in? some nuclear waste?

Only time I’ve ever seen nute burn like that from no nutes is when I added too much earth worm casting to my soil mix

MICHI-CAN · Mar 4, 2020

Must be all in one garden mix knock off.

Fuckin miracle grow

Gond00s · Mar 4, 2020

well if its something that releases when u water flushing will do nothing but just release more nutrients how I think about it

MICHI-CAN · Mar 4, 2020

Easy. Most of us did it to. All you could buy in my day. What are you using for soil?

I agree. Trans plant it after carefully rinsing the roots. Different soil of course. Nothing self feeding. And definitely not a synthetic fert.

its either this or the plant has to harden off the two options he has if he flushes he will most likely kill the plant
