Check out my first grow! Pics finally!

The problem is that your tips are burning and your leaves expecially the shoots are yellowing. The shoots are where the main concentration of growth cells and hormones such as auxins are found. Superthrive is a hormone additive and not a fertilizer. If you have been using more then one to two drops per gallon I would stop using it all together as auxins can lock up. Tips burn and leaves curl do to high tds (total dissolved solids) of ions in the medium deposited by the nutes at a level the roots can not keep up in processing. Once they reach a certain level they become toxic to the plant and the plant will not absorb them as starving itself is healthier then uptaking poison. Yellowing of the leaves is usually caused by a low ph due to a high tds and soil that is to wet on the bottom of the pot. If oxygen can not penetrate the soil every 3 to 5 days the micro organisms which play a vital role in the uptake and breakdown of the nutes begin to sufficate. This is why it is best to keep so humid to damp. Ammonium nitrogen for example must be broken down by micro organisms found in the soil zone as well as rhizosphere converting it to nitrate before it is even usable to the plants.

So what to do. I would flush the one gallon with three gallons of water and up the transpiration of the plant to clear the excess junk stored in her viens. Heat of 85 to 90 degrees with dry air will help. The soil would ideally need to dry out in three days. Bone dry about. I would use my finger and make a tunnel in the form of a cross on the bottom of the pots to ad in the drying and make use of a fan.

Added health can be obtained with CO2 use which can be made with a gallon jug 3/4th gallon of water or less, and a table spoon of active yeast found by the cheese in the grocery store mixed with hot water to dissolve it. Poke a hole in the top and shake twice a day.

I would cut the fertilizer level in half aswell.

Hope this helps

o shit i thought my first one won lost cuz i didnt sign in o well

PH is best in my opinion between 5.9 and 6.1. If you ad MgSO4 (epsom salt) it chemically combines with N at a ph under 5.8. I add about 50 ppm of ions every two to three days with my watering. If you got to raise it back up baby organic soy formula is amazing. It will raise the ph for 24 hours till bacteria and micro organisms counter and raise it up naturally. They sell it with lipids or without. Lipids which are found in breast milk help retain moisture and slow transpiration so I would recommend no lipids. Iron is good.

A 50 ppm of added ions should put you at about a 5.9 so you may only need a bit less as you have ions stored in the plant and soil. K is the easiest for plants to store and is used in the least quanity in regards to NPK. N is used the most but is also tasted the most when smoking. I got a coulpe good facts on my website under resources when you got a minute inregards to fertilizer. www.gorillagrow.org

Your welcome anytime I am glad to help. O and a small does of fulvic acid will help reduce stress and break down any lock ups. I like it better then humic acid which has a half life measured in centuries. Fulvic is only 50 years. I acually use some thing called glyceric acid found in blue green algae or spirulina which is wonderfull for human health and plants. I mix it in the soil. The algae dies with out light but leaves behind some goodies. Great for lock ups mixed in the fertilizer. If you drink like a quarter cup of the algae in water you will not believe how it cleans out your intestines. It is high in carotines and is the highest yeilding protien crop per acre. Soy is ten times that of cattle and spirulina is ten times that of soy. And your bodies can absorb tons of this protein. Drink alot and youll find out. It acually increases brain chemicals such as the 11 serotonins and tryptophins which in the plant world make the auxins. Its the same in the animal world but for some reason they are not called auxins. In the human body the highest consentration of this auxin like substance is found in the liver which regenerates through out your life and is second to the lungs which regenerate every seven years. The same chemical is found in reptiles such as frogs and is so elevated that they can regenerate a leg with out the trace of a scar. When we are born the levels are the highest and they decrease with age as all the indolye derivites do found in the brain. A human baby up to the age of six can accually regenerate a lost finger tip do to the elevated level in the body.

thanks karma. i love u!

i just finished flushing, and making sure water can get out the bottom.

i moved the plant under CFLs for now, until the top of the soil and leaves are dry. then i will place them back under the MH. I have a fan on her now trying to dry her out.

i'll post pics in 24 hours or so, hopefully she starts coming back.

thanks again.

I love you too, she will be fine

O the Grim Reaper just reminded me to tell you that watering with a garden sprayer will help keep the top wetter then the bottom and prevent nutes running down the side of the pots.
