Over Feed

[TYO84]

well shit, my plant is dieing,

 

when i layed down all those rocks i gave her a good feeding, well

it wasnt very good let me tell you cuz all of the Fan leaves are turing a

rust color, with yellow blobs, is there any way to save her, i cut the fan leaves that were affected,

[pipeman]

flush her out with plain water (PH adjusted if you can) for two or three waterings then start easy on the nutes again.

Yup, give it a good flush out with some ph adjusted water and drop your nute levels for the next time you fert.

 

Don't bother chopping off leaf material unless more than half the leaf is damaged... all you'll do is force the plant to damage newer leaves instead of the older, already burnt ones.

 

And aside from that, every cut you make through the leaf tissue could be spreading pathogens from one plant to another. Wounds are where fungal infections usually start.

 

The key to ferting is to take it very easy. Manufacturers usually place levels as "recommended" which are far too high for young and in some cases even fully flowering plants. This is why Truncheons are so popular amongst hydro growers, it gives you total control over your nutrient strength, (although not composition...)

 

So yeah, take it very, very easy with the ferting... I can't remember exactly what kinda setup you have, so if you remind me about this and what fert you used at what concentration, then I'll be able to make more specific advice...

 

Good luck mate, remember that MJ is a fairly tough little plant, but giving it "extra" isn't the way to bountiful buds.

RGR MAN, THX FOR THE INFO,

 

THE PLANT IS IN A BUKKET, 3 GALLON- I SHOULD HAVE WENT BIGGER BUT O WELL,

ANY WAY I GAVE HER MIRCLE gROW 15, 35,15 , AND I FEED HER ABOUT A TEASPOON "MABEY A LITTLE MORE" WITH ABOUT 2 LITTLES OF WATER,

 

tHE PLANT IS 8 INCHES, 6 WEEKS OLD-

gOOD DRAINAGE,

SUNLIGHT- GOOD

OUTDOOR-

TEMP- 17 TO 28 57 TO 84 "f"

Just thought I'd point out that using caps is usually taken as meaning "shouting"...

 

But anyway...

You can always pot up when it's ready...

As I understand it that's far too high a concentration. Read the packets dilution instructions then divide it by 4 (i.e. if it says 1 teaspoon in 10L then use 1 teaspoon in 40L or 1/4 teaspoon in 10L and you'll have a good nutrient with not too much of a punch...

 

Remember, underfeeding is easy to fix, overfeeding takes time and the plants have to grow out of it. So try and steer on the lower rather than higher sides of concentrations.

 

BTW, this is an australian site, we don't use the imperial measures here, we went metric about 30 years ago... So most mem's wouldn't have a clue how many liters to the gallon or how hot 84f is... Just a point.

 

Good luck with your plant mate, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it over time. Check out some of the older threads here about fertilising your plants and you should find a fair bit of info on the subject.

thx for all the info man, its about to rain here, today and tomorrow so that will be good for the miss.
