Hi guys been vegging a c99 in my tent for just over a month till my autos have finished before i put it into flower and they are nearly finished so i have potted the c99 up to about an 8L airpot but having the problem of leaves curling up and brown tips which i am guessing means my compost has too much nutes would i be best repotting with compost that is less strong for the plant or will it get used to it? its the first time of me putting some of the additives in but thought i had used sparingly..obviously not.

In my compost i used; seeding compost,perlite,coco,vermaculite,worm castings,chicken manure,plant magic granules & rock dust.

Temps are between 28 and 31 degrees c so that's probably between 80 and 88 degrees farenheit but tod has only happened since I potted up was healthy and all green before

85 and above can stress out plants. You do have what appears to be nute burn. So the compost you used possibly is too strong. my only educated guess would be either take some of that compost out and add more dirt, or flush and just give it water for awhile till she bounces back

Temps are currently a little high as ambient is around 75 degrees and just upgrading lights and added a carbon filter, went from 3 70w full spectrum lights to 2 full spectrum and 2 80w cree led panels but I have now dialed the voltage on the cree panels down a bit so shouldn't go over 85 and from the additives I listed which 1 could have given it nute burn?
Thanks

I would look at this for an easy starter water only soil formula.

You don't list how much of anything you used. So, hard to say what your culprit is.
I'll bet you simply mixed it and used it too?
Looks like it from some plants having high N problems and some starting high P.
pH problems from no Dolomite lime also.
No Ca either and that shows too.
Bad idea. It needs to "work" or "cook" for 28-30 days before use.

I would drop the Coco and Vermiculite.
I would add kelp meal and alfalfa meal.
It needs dolomite lime. Maybe a little oyster shell.

At any rate you should read the post at the link I gave you and use that as a basic template for amounts and what to use.

Read this as an introduction to organic's.

Now read up on the Rev's TLO and Sub's Supersoil.

Good luck with those.

PS, don't flush as your problems would increase......Flushing is for toilets, not soil grows.

Thanks for that and I had forgot to list 2 things they were calcified seaweed and ground up egg shells and I did only leave it a few days so I know I didn't exactly give it a cooking time a you say
