View Full Version : Is this overfert / nutrient burn?

About 3 weeks into flowering, and I've had a little PH lockout before, so I was wondering if the nutrients were accumulating in the soil and unleashed when the PH was brought back around... I've also been foliar feeding thinking that there was a micro deficiency.

Could anyone verify if this is indeed overfert / nutrient burn?

you did a good thing with the foliar feeding, after a few days, it can help you pinpoint your problem ... I would suggest a bit of magnesium deficiency there, but I'm no expert ... check this very good plant guide International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles!

thats a good link :thumbsup:

I would suggest a bit of magnesium deficiency there, but I'm not real good at diagnosis ... check this very good plant guide International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles!

At first I was using 100% nute solution for foliar feeding, but for the past week or so i've been using a 50% solution. I was thinking that all of those nutrients sitting on the leaves may have contributed.

I had nitrogen and phosphorous deficiencies earlier, as well as PH imbalance, and was trying to nurse it back- being a bad noobie I mixed my spray bottle with a regular strength solution.

Would it be a good idea to let the plant rest for a couple waterings and feed it water with no nutrients?

since you've been having some nutrient and pH issues, I believe I would let it sit with plain neutral pH waterings for a couple days ... also, when I foliar-feed, I re-spray the leaves the following day with plain water, to rinse off the nute buildup from feeding ... :smokin:
