this is my second grow. hopefully it is my first successful one. lets just say im really good at growing males!!! im using miracle grow organic and i know that isnt a good idea so i am transplanting into fox farm ocean. im getting some sagging leaves and some yellowish burns on the leaf. i think my problem is overwatering. i guess my question is will overwatering cause a similar appearance to nute burns??? as i didnt have this problem with my first successfull male grow lol. secondondly i think my overwaterin is releasing all of the shitty miracle grow timed fert all at once. so maybe both overwatering and nute burn. any input will be much appreciated. i dont have a decent camera yet so any input on such little information is much appreciated.

you are really better of with a good quality top soil mixed with 40% perlite(nothing with nutes).
dont give plants/sprouts any nutes for the first 3 weeks and start with 1/4 strenght mix and slowly build it up.
this is how i do it.when vegging i use miracle gro witch works real good.
and for your watering you really should get a moisture meter.the one i have cost 20$ and is very good its just a meter with 2 deep probes so you can test the moisture at different depths one probe is for testing moisture and the other is for testing the ph you just flick a switch on the gauge.but never give sprouts nutes for the first 3 weeks this could be the problem but its hard without pics.

if you get a good moisture meter(gardening type)it should give you a list of all kinds of plants/fruit and veg and there watering requirements on it go for the same moisture as growing tomato plants.
