i over fertalized a while ago and am still paying for my leaves tips are burnt and there are some rust spots. i have flushed the shit out of them. the ec levels are below normal but my ph keeps going back down to like 5.5. i water with 6.5 to 6.8 i have soil they are 2 sativas in like 1.5 or 2 gallon pots and they are in late flowering. i over fertalized early in flowering any help plz is much appreciated
any input would be great i think i have a calcium defeciancy so i water them with a couple teaspoons of lime
I think you already know whats going on. You just need to act on it. Flush, flush, flush, then add your lime. Hopefully that'll help. Good luck buddy
i put a 2 teaspoons each in 2 gallons one per plant of lime and 2 days later they are still getting worse
so i got the ph balanced out but it still is defiecient so i gave it some cactus liquid plant food because i think it is potasium not everything else lol and there is good micronuts in this stuff
well i have flushed really good several times i have added epsom salt with no luck then i added lime with no luck then i added catcus liquid plant food that has chelated iron and other good shit im not sure what else to do i am new to this defieciency shit and im getting worried i will try to add some pics
my tap water has a ph of 9.6 and an ec of 0.6, ppm 300 or 420 depending on which measure you use. i spose this could be most of my problem is it just me or is that tap water pretty narly any help
bump i need help i flushed with r.o. water from culligan but the ph of the water water was still 9.3 instead of 7 but no tds. my plants dont look worse but dont look better and ph was 5.5 went up to like 5.7 should i continue flushing with more water or what?
well i fucked up my last phone trying to put pics on the net i was uploading phone driver and it failed in the middle of it and fucked phone
It's hard for anyone to give a for sure analysis without a picture. If I were you I'd search the forum, google, books and anything I can get my hands on about sick plants...especially with photos...be patient, wait a few days, let your soil dry out, study, and then use what you've learned to make the best analysis you can. I know around where I live, the chlorine content of the water is really high. I'm not sure what the symptons would be but depending on what's in your tap water you may want to consider using a filter. Good luck to your grow!
if i flush my plants and get them to have a ph of at least 6.3 are they good for salt amount in soil or will the nutrients still be locked out? how do i know if ive flushed enough
"r.o. water from culligan" Culligan makes whole house water filters & softeners. If you have the softener, I would say there lies your problem. Are you on city water or a well? Try using ro water from the market. What are you using to ph the water with? You need to slowly flush, 3 times each bucket with 2 gal. of water. The plant will take about a week to recover from the nute thrashing you have given it.
i use by water which is county water it has ph of 9.3 and ppm is like 300 ish. i use that normally but i used r.o. water one time but it still had ph of like 9.3. i use ph adjusting fluids for hydro
im close to being done i might as well just keep flushing them till end and then chop right probably no point in really trying to fix def if there really is one. my runoff ph is 6.3 and the one looks like its still getting worse

It forces the plant to use all the excess nutes being stored.
