  4. I dont know anything about your nutes, but I believe thats some strong nute burn! Id defenitly flush that and cut back on the nutes.
     
  5. I use FFOF and it is a very heavy duty nute system. You definitely need to flush these and then reintroduce the nutes at 50% strength to start with as there is a real accumulation in the shade leaves there.
     
  6. It was only 500ppm of nutes though??? And 5ml of pure blend pro bloom was 50% strength. So Should I go for less than that like 250 ppm??
     
  7. Nute burn my friend! Go organic!
     
  8. So what can I do now? I have 3 1/2 weeks left of blooming if they live that long :(. I have been using a super weak nute solution I don't see how this happened.
     

  9. I understand your soil is already heavily fertilized. I would simply stop feeding now.
     
  10. Another forum is saying its classic deficiency with the leaf curling?? So I took the wrost two and gave them a fertilizing.
     
  11. nice try at killing your plants :D
    flush them!
     
  12. If runoff is 5.9 what ph water do I want to flush with 6.9?
     
  13. sounds good
     
  14. Should I not resume any feeding of nutes for the next 3 weeks after the flush?
     
  15. Not everything is nute burn. You have what I am 95% positive of is Potassium deficiency. Good luck my friend.

    3rd grow-bc big bud
     
  16. Thanks bro,I feel it is potassium and phosphorous deficiency for sure there is no way at 300 ppm runoff my plants are burnt.
     
  17. wow these people dont know what they are talkin about.

    this is NOT a nute burn. your suffering from potassium and phosphorus.
    DO NOT FLUSH!!!

    give them a nice strong shot of flower nutes. something high in P and K and you will be good to go.
     
  18. Thank you soooo much this is how I was looking at it too,everyone on here says all problems are nute burn lol. I'm going to get the other 3 with a 500 ppm of just flower nutes in the morning.:hello:
     

  19. I'm not so sure, that would not account for the leaves curling up so badly?
     
  20. One more thing my friend! In every pic I see lots and lots of torn and ripped leaves. Marijuana is a resilient plant, but damn dude. You tore them up.
