If you're positive it's nitrogen burn, flush with 1-2 times the volume of the pot with properly ph'd water. Recovery takes a week or so. Watch the new growth, as the burned leaves won't heal. (old leaves are old news) Adjust your nutrient schedule or dosage.

If you're guessing that it's from nitrogen OD, filling out the form and providing a picture would be a benefit.

Rusty Im computer dumb so thats why so slow on response. my plant is in the 3rd of flowering on 11/13. I flushed 6.5ph water past few days.The plant has a bluish color to the leaves with a dark green color of the shade leafs. Also purple stems of leafs but not all of them. wilting bent smaller leafs at flower sites. Ive seen the differince in flushing the past day. I took picstures but the light is too bright to see properly.

I took picstures but the light is too bright to see properly.
Raise the lights, or pull the plant to the outside edge of the room. Try different angles and positions. You'll get it eventually. Try and keep the camera itself out of the direct light, too.


Your medium: dirt mirical grow top soil
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)some small amount of bone meal and egg shell.
Bad idea adding uncomposted crap (egg shells, coffee grounds, fish guts...) into your pots. You don't want stuff rotting in your soil. ('composted' is different than 'rotten') The molasses you mention has enough calcium in it, no need for the eggshells.


Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting?
tap my ph is 7.6 befor ajustment.
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...)meter.
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PHup & down
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Fox farm grow big , Liquid karama 2tsp. a gal. of grow big and 2.1/2Karma
What are you adjusting your water with?
Using nutrients from a couple different companies is a good way to have redundancies (doubling-up of the nutrients, metals, auxins...) and chemical interactions. Usually best to pick a product line, and stick with it.


14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering?2 days between watering, fed plant along with watering.
fed15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)I was going to start molasses on begining of 4th wk. of flowering.
Try having a look at Fox Farms online Weekly Feeding Schedule. (Google it)
Feeding is usually done once a week at full mix-strength. Plain, properly ph'd water inbetween if necessary.
