depending on the soil u used to grow with i would say it looks like nute burn to me. good soil has most of what your plants need already without adding anything. even if your boy knows his shit don't mean that your particular strain/setup is going to handle the adds. its hard to say for sure. i would say keep it to distilled water alone for awhile and especially after you have just done a flush hopefully you will see improvements. after that i would think about transplanting into a good new soil if possible without adds again.

Well, if this started happening right after the last feeding....I think that answers your question right there. Miracle Gro is pretty potent shit and should only be used at about half strength. A fert burn is the only possible thing that I can think of that would have caused such a quick and drastic change, any other ailments (heat stress, pH problems, over watering, etc) would have slowly appeared over time. Flush them out with at least the volume of the pots worth of water and they might be salvaged.

When the yellowing starts on the top like that, it's often a immobile element deficiency. That's the thing with MG and similar chemicals, they don't have any. I can't tell which one your plants need, but I'd switch to a more complete diet. Things like Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, they only need small amounts but they still need em. I can't say this is the solution to all your problems, but at least some. Those white spots could be light bleaching, but it doesn't usually stay between the veins like that. What light do you have them under? I tried distilled water once, and it turned out my tap water was giving my plants the calcium they need. On distilled, I got the worst Ca def. I've seen on what seemed to be a pretty Ca hungry strain. May not be your case, but I wanted to throw that in there anyway.

thats is what i have been saying, but a few others say different.. they also use the same fert the they said that they have found good results with that one... that was only the third feeding that the plants got.. the first two where givein to the plant just about 2.5 months into the grow... then i transplanted them.. waited about a week and a half and then just gave them there third feeding... i think that i nutes didnt go well with the nutes that are in the soil... with that said, someone informed me that it is okay to feed them after you xplant because the NPK of potting soil is very minamal, do you think that could have affected my ladies?... i gave them half a gallon of water to each last night ( the outsdie ones) they are in 3.5 gallon pots go keep on flushing them and see what happens... today i just went to go check on them... looks like almost the whole plant is twisting and curling.. ![]() the first two feedings where are 1/4 strenght and the last was @ 1/2 strenght.. i was lowly building it up.. | |

" youre ? answered here" the guys over there thought me alot and are very helpful.. they guided me along my way and when i showed them what happened to my girls.. they didnt know what to say.. me personally i dont think my laides are taking well to the MG i was thinking about cutting them off the ferts for good if they get better... someone also said they may die if you dont feed them.. if i do change my ferts is there anyone that you would recommend?? i have a total of 3 outside one inside.. im only talking about 2 outside because the other one is a few days away from dieing... so to answer youre question Flamming Gas a few light years away and 4 40 watt cfl's ( actully watts ) | |

Sorry, Fe=Iron, Zn=Zinc, Ca=Calcium, Mn=Manganese. These are some of the nutrients your plants need that isn't included in the N-P-K and usually isn't included at all in things like MG. Your soil should have had some, but maybe you flushed them out. I did some more reading, and the discolorations on your plants look a lot like the patterns of micronutrient deficiencies. My advice would be to definitely get away from MG, flush the soil real well if possible (you don't want to flush every day so you don't drown the roots, so give it a chance to dry if you can) and go find better nutes. I used Fox Farms with pretty good results, but it's hard to find where I am. Had to go to a hydroponics shop to find good organic stuff, but they certainly do have everything you'd need. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm not going to be much help with what to use because I haven't had my eyes open in the big stores like Home Depot and Wal Mart like I used to, but someone should be able to recommend something easy to get. Browse your stores, read the packages, look for things like iron, calcium, sulphur, zinc, manganese, you should be able to find something to get you back on track. Keep your eye on pH too, because that can render nutrients useless and send you into a downward spiral.
