recovering

How do i know and how long does 8t take for a plant to recuperate from nutrient burns? I watered them with 5.5 pH water for about two weeks bow the burns slowly grew to others leaves but stayed low. Tonight I cut them off. Growth was about 2 inches every 4 days so not sure if it has slowed down or not my ears are open

If you're watering in the right pH ranges now. The only signs of burn will be other leaves doing the same. If they don't. Then you've probably solved the problem.

nutr burn .......never those tips and leaves are premittly like that untill end ......just rem to trim by hand tighter

is this in a hydro system ......your ph is off u do not have burn u have lock out ......hydro 5.8 to 5.9 for best results
is this in soil .................your PH is way off 5.5 is lock out u need it 6.5 to 6.8 ph


to recover it is simple
adjust the ph to what it should be for your grow type
(soil is simple u are in a gallon something planter u need to pass 3 times that many gallons of water tho the soil ) say u are in 5 gallons u need 15 gallons of 6.8 phed water 7 gallons u need 21 gallons of water ...........here is the trick the last gallon of water is mixed up with some B-52 or Thrive or Vitamino (the ammount on the package) ....u also need half the feed of organics u use in the system (the micros in the soil need to be feed and resupplied) boomarang micro brew big bloom GH grow ....organics

this will make your plant droop for a 12 18 hours untill it dry out some and it will perk rght back up

hydro
dump water replace with fresh add in the b-52 and some orgnaics from your kit little extra to what the feed plan called for

Ok well I trimmed those that were burnt so if new ones continue to burn I still have the problem... My soils pH is 7.0! No matter what I do it stays that way even if I water with a lower pH such as 5.5. The burn came after the very first feed now they've lost there great smell

Peat moss is one way to buff your soil towards slightly more acidic. Using sulphur is another.

My soil is alkaline too. I water at pH 6.3. The run off comes out about pH 7-8.

if u clipped the tips of all those leaves(if happends again wait untill u do the final trim before u jar it to remove them ) ....all those cuts are just that cuts into the vein system of the plant ....stress and open points for mold virus
add in 1 and half times the amount of b-52

the soil is hot ........that is no big thing

u have some rooting feed .......use that to increase the root mass lowing the hotness of the soil(basically give it the plant will partly redirect it to rooting lowing the what is going up to the plant) ....hormones trigger rooting response (Rapid start is the best one in 5 years of experiments )

a little nutr burn is a good thing .......alls it is it the plant is being offered to much food it is pigging out and damaging the cells some the higher amount of food (back it down (feed) .....flush the soil out....or build the root mass )

i grow auto plants i want to see burn ....it tells me i have tweaked the feed to the max the plant can handle i back it down 10 to 15% hold there and i know the buds are going to bend the branches from the weight


the fact your soil keeps going to 7.0ph is a very good thing it means the micros and fungi in the soil are happy and prefect ..........u can increase the chemical based feed to really weight build and use the organics for the taste profile

alls u did by running the water tho at that low of a PH is partly lock out the feed to the soil ......the micros had to balance it for it to in in the N
u did not decrease the hotness of the soil u just stressed the plant out some (keep a eye on nodes to much stress can hermi )

Rule of thumb is to remove leaves when they are more than 50% dead(correct if I'm wrong ) OR they pull off with a light tug(you'll know).

Low pH did that to me as well. At least that's what I think did it.

nutr burn ......leave it until the plant is done take it off during the trim off for the jar

u remove the leaves when they have yellowed up ..........no tugging just tap the leaf on the stem closest to the branch if they are no good a simple tap on them with make them break away from the branch so u can remove them .....if they still have some value the tap will not do anything the plant will suck the rest of the goodies out of the cells then u can tap it comes off

Thanks guys I really do appreciate all the advice. Does anyone know what I can use/do to repair or promote root growth?

Id prefer to stay away from chemicals maybe something organic or home remedy

You should have a read of www.growweedeasy.com they explain heaps.

As it may hurt to hear I have read numerous marijuana grow books and I can say Ive learned a lot but with each one giving slightly different statements I can't say I know how to solve every problem o come across. That being said a little input on how I can improve the roots in my first project would be the best knowledge I can posses at this time in my grow

Uh. Well I'm only on my first (thus far successful) grow. So. I really don't know what else to suggest.

Not sure if you could add... Rootex or some other rooting agent to your water. I mean it might help. It helps clones to grow their roots. But that's usually when they're dipped in it. Not having it added to their water.

I just try to help wherever I can.

I'll have to try out tapping instead of tugging. Thanks for the info

i use a product called seaweed solution fully organic and makes roots go crazy i accidently dropped a plant once while transplanting amd broke off half the roots and 2 weeks later the new pot was full
