OhShit!

o shis is correct looks like nute shock, what kind of nutes are you using

overwatering releasing too many nutrients and your medium is staying wet way too long. I'd repot it, remove that drip tray, and water it much less frequently.

maybe check the ph first! flush it with no nutes, give it a few days then see. if something aint right in this pot likely u'll get it wrong in the next one and ur plant will have the shock of transplanting to deal with on top of it. she aint gonna die in the next few days so i suggest making SURE you know whats wrong before you do anything, or doing things that wont stress her more

One of the leaves was yellowing so I thought it was the beginnings of nitro definiciency.


So I rushed down the shops and bought a little bag of 46-0-0 white nitro balls and splrinkled a few around the plant and watered in. The pics at the top are 4 days later after a flush today. Before that I was using a little of some generic liquid 'Organic gro' bought from Walmart (local equiv) every other watering. It has no NPK on the bottle.

stop...feeding it...seriously if you want to save it at this point just tip the pot on the side...slide it out...put new soil+perlite into the pot...gently break off the extra soil on the outside of the root mass and replant it...water it ONLY ONCE...then let it sit until its DRY...then water again...and only water it when needed...you shouldn't have to give it any nutrients in soil that black as it probably has plenty of nutrients in it...water it less...give it more air to the roots(perlite!)...

Agreed. These ladies are scorched. Transplant into new soil, and cut it with around 1/3 perlite to air out. They like having a little dry period and you should be watering every 4-5 days. The pot should feel really light when you pick it up. I like to wait just till they start to droop before watering.

Yep have repotted into a coco chip/perlite/local potting soil mix. I'm heavy on the coco chips to make the new medium as inert as possible. It drains so quickly it might as well be 100% coco! Will repost with results in a week or so.

*facepalm*

indeed br0 shit Y U gief too much nutes flush it and hope for da best

"46-0-0" - Holy shit, a little of that will make a very effective weed killer.....
RIP dude.

Just a quick pictorial update... Hopefully a happy ending! Many thanks for the helpful replies. You helped save this plant



Just recovered enough to be topped a few days ago. Still working on recovering from that. All I did was flush, change pot and medium then flush again then normal watering without food. Now I'm giving it a share of my new nute mix next watering. Still a bit worried about that! Oh well,

Don't make mistakes, don't learn. Might even try some LSTing on this baby!

The new growth looks pretty good. You weren't joking about the coco. Keep an eye on calmag deficientcy later in flowering, coco doesn't have any as where a potting soil will have dolomite lime or oyster hulls.

So the story is almost over. I'm on day 57 of flowering and she is still alive! The topping didn;t go so well either. She stopped growing soon after and went hard into flower. The nute shock was probably the cause of the severe stunting of the plant. It is only 30cm when it should be triple that.

The good news is that she looks pretty decent with frosting cloudy mostly at the moment. Just a few more days before chop. She's already been flushed and now I'm just waiting until day 60 then will look again.

Thanks again for helping save this plant.

thats an understatement, do you know that you have to add water to nutes? thats one of the worst cases of nute burn in history.

Im shocked that plant survived wow, will be even more rewarding when you light her up. congrats on saving her.

thats some really bad nute burn buddy.
