So i came home one day to find my 2 plants droopy, some brown areas on the edges of the leaves, and some yellowing. I water every 3-5 days, they are about a month old, are under 400w mh, in organic potting soil. This is my first grow so I made the mistake of spraying some tomato food in the soil as I was filling the 3 gal containers. So because of this I assumed the issue to be a bad case of nute burn and flushed the plants with about 10 gal of h20 apiece. The pixs where taken BEFORE the flush. Since the flush (about 5 days) there was some encouraging new growth but today even that is getting some yellow and brown tips. So Im stuck, have no clue, any help is greatly appreciated!!
After a month old, they're probably due for some nutrients. Good call on the flush, but I think nows the time to feed. Nute burn doesn't tend to make the leaves droopy like that...over/underwatering does, actually. Nute burn shows up as burnt tips on most of the leaves. Have you checked your Ph levels for the water and runoff? Might want to look into that before adding nutes just to make sure you won't have further issues. Watering every 3-5 days might be too often. The soil should be completely dry when you water, and 3-5 days doesnt seem like enough for those big pots/small plants. Stick your finger in the soil and if it feels wet 2" deep, wait to water. If it's dry, go ahead. So, investigate your Ph status, then if/when that is okay (6.5-7 going in, roughly 6.5 runoff), feed her 1/4 dose nutrients when the soil is dry.
Thanks for the info, I didnt think nute burn made the leaves droop, but with the drooping leaves i was getting some serious burnt tips at the same time, so it might of been a combo of both nute burn from the all the food i put in the soil AND over watering... So ironically the burnt tips im getting now are from a LACK of nutes?... I will definitely do things differently next time. Thanks all!
here is a pic of what i have going on now. this is the new growth after the flush 5 days ago. this pix was taken today. many of the new leaves have similar issue. thanks again!
