Just wondering what is going on with these 2 plants. The problem is similar on both. Did I overnute them or is it a pest problem. One is a 4 week old sensi star clone and the other is unknown bagseed. I am using ocean forest potting soil, dosed them with grow big and big bloom. Never noticed any problems until i used the big bloom, thought that was totally organic and wouldn't damage anything. Currently using a 200 watt CFL. I appreciate any help on this matter.
Seems like Nute Burn to me

Looks like possible overnute and/or overwatering. Use measuring spoons, don't approximate. They have a dosing schedule. just click on < soil - english >
I use this schedule for my crops, except I cut the dosage in half, and feed twice weekly. (and I only give a half dose per week of Big Bloom)
Works great.
Looks like nute burn here to me too. Had one looking like this the other day, flushed the soil, new growth looks better.
Thanks guys, do you think i should flush them?
If getting rootbound (are they in 1 gallon pots? Hard to tell.) you could transplant to a larger pot, and water with plain, ph'd water for the first week.
Otherwise, a minor flush, and nutrient adjustments for future waterings should be fine. :thumbsup:
Rusty, as a matter of fact they are in one gallon pots. Was gonna wait another week and transplant them into bigger maybe 5 gallon. I want to flip them next week when i get my dr120. Would have to redo my veg light if i transplant them right now, what do you think? If I need to, i'll get it done. Thanks for all your help. I have some 3 gallon and 5 gallon.
Just because something is organic (or 'organic-based' like FF) does not mean it can't burn.
You're running the full FF suite? Gotta follow the instructions posted on their site, but always start off WEAKER than recommended.
Classic burn. Flsuh well, feed at 1/2 strength of whatever the bottle says to use for your life stage, and allow to dry better between waterings.
Any slowing of damage to the leaves, yet? Are the new shoots a bright green?
I think I'd wait to transplant them. At least for a few days. Likely they are a bit stressed, and transplanting won't help much right now. I'd give 'em a bit of time, so you can observe how they look after the flush, and go from there.
I usually take baby-steps. From one cup, to a one gallon, to a 3 gallon.This takes me thru veg. Then, I transplant to a 5 or 7 gallon pot, a couple of weeks into flower.
Doesnt look like its getting any worse. Will wait to transplant a few days? How long do you usually veg? Day 31 here, by the way, this is my first attempt to grow. New growth is bright green and healthy looking.
I'd let it rest for at least a couple of days. This will give the roots time to heal, and resume it's normal nutrient hunt.
I usually veg from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how much smoke I have left, and how much space I've got in my flower room.
Every grow seems to have a straggler that throws-off my nice-tidy schedule. Half the time, I end up with a 50-50 mix of indica's and sativas flowering at the same time.
Thank goodness for milk crates and bricks. (to raise the shorter plants, and make a nice, even canopy)
Thanks for all the insight Rusty. Will transplant this weekend.
Good luck. Let us know how they do. :thumbsup:
Will do, would you consider being my Sensi? HaHa
Aww shucks, Weedhopper...I'm just another member on their path to enlightenment, just like you. :jointsmile:
Update:
Transplanted all 5 into 3 gallon out of 1 gallons with ocean forest. My mystery bag seed was totally drooped over before I transplanted it(not sure of sex yet). After I watered it and came down an hour later, it was perked up. Think I'm over the nute burn, learned my lesson on that. Picked a few dead lower leaves off of each plant. I hope they are back on track now. Had to change location of my veg room because of height issues, new place gives me more room :). Thanks everyone for your help, and especially Sensi :D The one in lower left of pic is the mystery seed.
Looking pretty good, but the 'stunted' one looks a bit overwatered.
Welcome to the road to enlightenment, Weedhopper. :thumbsup:
yeah, believe you're talking about the bagseed one. it was totally drooped over before i transplanted it. looking better just gonna keep an eye on it. thanks for looking in on it.
next time you should put more perlite in that soil. it will help prevent overwatering and ffof soil doesnt have enough in my opinion. i mixed mine with a 1:1 ratio and i still only had to water it every 3 days, then towards harvest i had to water it like every 2 days because all the water was getting sucked up faster.
