Ive made a huge mistake... experts help please

[StickyFinger]

Well in short ive totally messed it up. Im using biobiz nutes, three different products, grow, bloom, plant food.

Basically to use them correctly you dose 1ml/l with the grow product and progresively increase the other 2 from 1ml/l to 5ml/l over 6 weeks.

Dont ask how but Ive mixed the grow with the bloom. in essense giving them 14ml/l extra grow product over the flower period and a deficiency of the same in the bloom product.

Being my first time grow i thought everything was going fine (didnt spot a small spidermite problem), but in all plants look healthy and flowered well.

A couple of rusted spots were probably my warning, but being a total n00b i didnt realise.

a coulpe of weeks off harvest i stoped the feed to induce leeching, its not happening...

will this mean my harvest will have a sickly sweet taste to it letf behind from the feed?

is there any way to do an "emergency flush" quickly?

Im now thinking i might have f**ked it up and it aint going to as good as it should. Better luck next time is all i can say.

Any help from you lot would be great specially if it solves my little problem.

Dont panik!

if you are growing in soil give them a flush with PH balanced water at a rate of three times the volume of the tub they are in ie. if you are growing in a 3 gallen bucket then flush with around 9 gallons of water, this will flush any excess nutes from the soil, then either carry on feeding with the correct dose or just continue to water them as required. As far as the taste is concerned providing you dry and cure them propely you shouldn't have a problem.

Well ive flushed, flushed and flushed some more, i must ave put 20ltrs through each plant . Keept going until the water ran clear. So fingers crossed,

they look ready to me so im hoping for lots of yellow leaves 2moz wen i check on them.

Litterally ad to wedge the big pots in the toilet seat and shed loadsa water over them.

It was quite funny, looked like i was growing weed out of the toilet.

NEways cheers for the help.

[Garden Knowm]

She looks beautiful!

Congrats..

Not sure she is ready..
Inknow you have lots of BRown hairs.. but the leaves are still so green..

have all the fan leaves turned yellow and fallen?

[StickyFinger]

sum have but very slowly. this is probly due to nute mix up will green leaves mean bad smoke??

[Garden Knowm]

No, i dont believe so.. but it is a bit odd how many green leaves you still have.... Although I have seen this before....

I want to suggest you wait..... but I am not feeling 100% confident... : (

LOL


How long havethey been flowering? (12/12)

[StickyFinger]

51days... the buds are sort of popcorning now, and have been for a week or so, i'll post a pic of what i mean soon

I know this post is a bit late but I do not think these plants were ready to harvest either. the pistols turn orange three times accually. They will turn on NL #1 so instances on around 51 days then a new growth will happen and 75% of the second turning will happen around day 64. then at day 73ish a new third small growth will emerge. No extra wieght really but she will be tastie. The high is not as energetic but she tastes so good. I would not have any yellow leaves at harvest but I use 100ppm of added ions which is all you need. Dont add over 200ppm. Directions sell product and do not grow plants in every situation. Burnt tips are the first indication of over fertilizing. Then the leaves curl then they die. Better late then never I guess

Never mind new to this site I was looking at your register date not the post date so in that case dont cut em yet youll kick your self later. I grow single cola plants for more yield per area. I super crop aswell so my final product is say 11 inches high with a 10 inch solid nug. the bottom of the stem can get to be the size of your thumb. Say good bye to having a good back if you tend hundreds of them. just sleep on your stomach when you crank up the numbers and youll still be able to walk right
