Too much nutes, and wayyyyyoverwatering. Miracle Grow All Purpose has dosages listed for a two week period. (at least they used to when I was still using it) What is the specific MG nutrient you mention, and it's N-P-K, and it's listed schedule?

Cannabis grows best on a wet/dry cycle. If not letting the soil dry-out, you risk a myriad of problems. I'd wait till soil is dried-out a tad and carefully slip the rootball out of the container to check root growth. Should be nothing but healthy white roots.

Mixing products from different companies is not recommended. Different companies put different levels of each nutrients, micronutrients and heavy metals into their formula's. Very easy to overdose without going past the N-P-K limits. N-P-K could still be in range, but combining the different company's nutes can double or tripple-up on the micros and metals...Pick a winner and stick with it. :thumbsup: I recommend the easy to master Fox Farms trio pack. No company affiliation, I've just been using the stuff for quite a few years.

With my 3 gallon plants, I feed 'em 2 times a week. Monday and Thursday.
I mix the nutes half-strength, and give my 3 gallon flowering ladies about a quart of that solution each feeding. During the winter, if I do need to water inbetween, I'll add a quart of clean, properly ph'd water to last to next feeding day. During the summer months I often have to water daily. (I live in the desert)
You sure about the over watering? I only water every three days, and I feed every other watering... I've never used over a 50% strength solution on THIS plant, I have on a couple other showing deficiencies...

I should also add that If I water less frequently than this the plant starts to droop heavily and all the fan leaf stems get 'rubbery' and just flop around.

The NPK of the MG is 15-20-15, the Schultz is 15-30-15. The general rule is a little more N for veg, and a little more P for flower, correct? So I guess I should stick with the schultz?

The roots have been checked recently and are white and healthy & not bound, In fact it looks like they have plenty of space. Like I said, I always cycle my waterings.

I've also already decided I'm not attempting another grow until I do some hefty equipment upgrades. My plan is for a 400W MH/HPS system using the Fox Farm Trio. A few steps up from MG and CFL's. Obviously I will make space renovations to accommodate for the new equipment. I will also be meticulously logging it.

So now that you're filled in, do you think its just the nute mixing thats doing it? Or you still think I'm over watering? Thanks as usual, Rusty :jointsmile:
