Hey guys, i've transplanted this ak-47 couple weeks ago into a 4 gallon pot and shes showing signs of nutrient burn and/or ph fluctuations but i've never fed it nutrients yet.. its about 7-8 weeks old, any information would be much apreciated thanks.

I think your diagnoses of nute burn might be off. If it's been two weeks, I'd just start a regular feeding scheduled with PH balanced water. At least in my experience, it doesn't really matter what the problem is / was nutrient wise, since the fix is always the same thing. Fix the PH and start feeding, or flush, fix the ph and start feeding. Thank god for good, all-in-one liquid fertilizers :)

I have not fed the plant any nutrients, and i've flushed it three times so far, i have no equipment to ph the water, so right now its kinda fucked, my bubba kush however is doing just fine...

I have plenty of organics to feed her im just wondering why shes burning up, wouldnt that make burn her even further? I'll feed her sea weed extracts fish muskie and some carbo load and maybe a tiny dose of b-51

ps could anyone tell me what the problem is? why are the leaves so retardedly burnt? thanks for your help guys.

That's what we are saying, it doesn't look like nute burn, it looks like a deficiency that will go away if you feed her. http://media.photobucket.com/image/marijuana plant problems/d4pl4y3r1/user123617_pic566906_1293571722.jpg Could be magnesium or potassium def? To be honest, I'm not the best at diagnosing defs - that's what I was saying, it doesn't really matter what the def is, if you fix the PH and feed, it will go away. I would worry about the PH though - but my tap water has a PH of like 7.5-8. If you know your tap water is good for other plants, it might not be worth checking (though you can get a kit for under $10)

Nobody is asking you what kind of soil it's in?, before all these remedies started coming. Let's start there that's the only way to give an accurate solution to your problem.
I've seen pest cause similiar damage like........root aphids.

No one asked because it doesn't really matter. The plant looks deficient, and he said he hasn't fed it in two weeks - it *could* be root aphids, but it probably just needs fed. If I don't eat for two days, turn white and feel weak, I *could* have tape worm, but I probably just need a Hot Pocket :)

See, here is what makes it confusing. What you have kind of looks like salt buildup: http://forum.grasscity.com/photopost/data/500/19753ToxicSaltsBuildup.jpg But it also looks like it could be sulfur def, or a couple other things. This site is good: http://www.mmjshopping.com/cannabis-college.php - although some times I think photo's are a little more helpful than pictures. Nitrogen deficiency, for example, looks like it would be hard to diagnose from the artists drawing, but since it happens from the bottom up and causes the leaves to fall off completely, it's actually super easy to diagnose.

Wat up Doc?

The first thing I ask is what kind of dirt?
Yes it matters if it's MG or FFOF or whatever!
It don't look burnt it does look like a deficiency
or ph issues or both:clap: The drooping is caused from
over watering and flushing the probable cause!
Once you flushed there no turning back! If you haven't
fed it definitely feed'em!

It is just lacking Nitrogen, its not any pests. I have seen this a billion times, as soon as he feeds it some veg food then the yellowing will stop. If he doesn't then the whole plant is gonna end up looking like that

Well that's two to one, thanks MrGhettoGrower!! tibberous have you ever gone to the doctor and didn't tell him what you were there for? How can he help if you don't give him some basic information first? Hell, you only have a heel spur and without even checking the doc says we should amputate his leg he's in pain. All I'm saying is everything has to be taken account of when diagnosing problems. That's a tip from me to any grower, old and young heads alike!
