about three weeks ago i gave my plant some fertiliser and it got real bad fert burn. the lower leaves started curling up and dying very fastly . I flushed the plant or tried to atleast but the damaged continued ,although slower then before, about a week ago my plants leaves started going purple and this has continued to get worse and is now a serious problem that is threating the plants life because alot of leaves look like they gonna die .
Is this a nutrient defiency or justa long term effect of over ferting . If i make the wrong decision i could kill the plant so plz help me out!

There a number of things that could turn your plants purple. Some strains turn purple on their own. Organic fert. and cold weather, but purple leaves are not necessarily a bad sign. You may want to flush your plants again. Put them on a regular organic feeding program, and don't over do it. Follow the directions specifically.

mix a 1/3 strength solution of bloom fert with a 1/4tsp of epsom salt(mg)to a gallon of water,feed every 3-4 days,in about 7-10 days you should see an improvement,if you're growing indoors,try to keep temps 65-78fh....bonbon

i got ed rosenthal`s high yield indoor guide today . actually my dad got it per accident and he wasnt as please to see the book as i was , i must say :) he almost took it away that woulda sucked
anyway , in there a saw a pick of fucked up leaves that looked just like mine and it said that this was caused by a nute lock up of potassium caused by the use of incompatible fertilisers. I did use two different ferts hydroponic powder and fish emulsion something cause i wasnt sure if the fish emsulsion had micro nutrients in .
So firstly i fucked up the plant by over ferting then i flushed it fucked and it had no nutrients left and/or the potassium was locked up .

I am gonna just feed it with the hydroponic powder in an exceptable dose.
is this the right thing to do or is there a way i should try to unlock nutes before u give it nutes again if there is any nutes left at all cause of intense flushing?how does one usually unlock nutes?
All i can say is that this is my first indoor grow and its always cool to learn new shite and thx to ed who on the first day hopefully is gonna save my plant!
