Nute droop

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All is not well in the garden.

I've been giving flowering nutes for about 10 days at half strength (it's Bloom-C by ATA) and almost immediately I had noticed that it seemed to be having an adverse effect. It's a very dark red colour and i'd noticed that some of the upper leaves had started to droop and were displaying a reddish purple colour along the stalk of the leaf, I decided not to worry too much and see what happens.

Well what has happened is that almost all of the fan leaves are drooping and are turning yellow with red stalks. Also there has been a huge increase in munching insects. I don't know if the two problems are related, it could be that as we turn into autumn my children are the tastiest foliage in the garden.

Any advice anyone can offer would be great, I guess I'm going to start by sticking to just water for a week of two to see what happens. On a thread here I found a recipe for a bug killer (boil lemon peel in water for 10 mins) and I'm going to start giving that a go as the spray I've been using is not working.
