sounds like you may be using to much fertilizer if your soil already has some in it you may be overdoing it by adding much more while they dont look burnt up yet you deffinatly have some nutrients locked out I would drop the calcium for now and try using just the fish fertilizer and some epsom salt for awhile to see if it improves.

I agree with bejay....i think you're burning them with ferts.....flush flush flush........

agreed ... with that pre-nuted potting soil, you shouldn't need to feed anything before flowering ... most of those soils release nitrogen for two months, or so ... :smokin:

i bought worm castings today i think i am going to transplant.will this stress the plant out and are there any signs of over watering to you guys?also i want to do away with the ferted soil i want to control the nutes more.any suggestions?i will be flushing tonight.

ok i transplanted plant in bigger pot with 20% worm castings 20% perlite and a non fertilized potting soil.this is after a flushing yesterday.i noticed when i removed the plant from the other pot there was small amounts of roots still in the left over soil.how bad is this to my plant?hopefully i didnt do to much damge the root ball was bigger than i had expected.

Disturbing the root system is never good, but there's really only one way to find out...yeah? Expect (visible) growth to stop for a while, (maybe a week) while the plants adjusts to its new home and tries to rebuild its root system. (Guesstimating (from experience) that plants immediately direct 80-90% of their energy to fixing their rootsystem once disrupted/abused. The plant basically halts all growth above ground. How long? Depends on the damage done.)

Is this good considering your current problems? Probably not. Don't worry though! You have to screw up a couple plants in order to get the hang of it. We've all fucked up somewhere.

Advice for future transplants: Follow HARDON's (awesome) guide. Transplant the entire (original) pot into the new pot. (minus the container of course)

IMPO, since you have added worm castings, just feed it h20 for at least a week, see how it responds. If things get better, continue with h20 and start with some light fert. feedings in maybe 3 weeks, gradually increase. The key is to slowly increase so you can see how the plants responds to the feeding in between waterings. The plants will definitely tell you, patience is the key.

Good luck~!
