View Full Version : *PICS* Plants Might Not Make It Through Flowering

First timer with three plants grown indoors from bagseed in soil. They were started in a plastic cup and later transplanted into a pot with soil full of nutes. I held off for a month before applying ferts, but even in extremely diluted doses every time the plants get burned.

I waited too long to transplant them, until about 3 weeks into flowering. I (very carefully) transplanted them into bigger pots with topsoil that contains no nutes. Now they're about five weeks into flowering. Most of the lower branches have no leaves at all. I can't tell if the upper leaves are showing a deficiency or a toxicity. I don't know what to do!

Please help me save 'em!

The ones in the pictures are too far gone. Just harvest them.
What size pots were you using?

Those are the only plants I got and I think its too early to harvest them. There aren't a whole lot of the leaves left at this point and the veg stage ended long ago... I was just really hoping there would be a way to save them and ride out the flowering period for another 4 weeks or so.

They were 3-3.5 tall in pots that were maybe 1-1.5 gallons. The roots were literally overflowing from the pots when they were transplanted in flower.

I'm going to make a wild guess and say maybe the plants needed nutes (deficiency) but got burned when I fertilized the small pots due to the nutes being applied basically directly to the root mass? Maybe this accounts for the fact that they were being starved and getting burned?
