Need advice on correcting mistakes before it's too late...
Okay, situation...buddy has been flowering for 4 or 5 weeks...two different strains that are indica-types with around 9 week flowering times for both...growth is stunted and leaves are showing signs of multiple deficiencies....mostly cal-mag and potassium type symptoms...I told him it was probably ph and in a panic he dumped a about a cup of dolomite lime per gallon of water solution into the soil, before he tested (I made him buy the soil ph tester the next day and sure enough, ph's are still around 6.1 or so 2 days after the dolomite blast) AND he foliar fed them a concoction including spray and grow+bills perfect fertilizer+epsom salts+a crushed up tums (for calcium he said!)+a teaspoon of dyna gro pro-tekt...so now we have some plants drenched in this concoction, sitting in soil drenched in dolomite lime-laden water....I was about to tell him to add wood ash, but now I'm thinking all this crap has been done to them I dont want to complicate things further...should we just wait and see what happens...or should we flush w clearex (and foliar rinse with distilled) right away? OR.... should we go all out and transplant into decent potting mix mid flower? And then what...? The buds look small but nice (maybe even a bit too mature and crystalized for their size...) but many of the plants are totally pale green/yellow with burned blotchy and twisted leaves that don't look capable of photosynthesis, while others are still nice and green with bigger buds. My inclination is to go drastic, simply shake off the root balls and transplant into nice new conditioned potting mix and hit em with a high nitrogen organic veg fertilizer to maybe set back the clock a bit and try to replay the last 2-3 weeks of flowering...add some green back to the leaves and extending the time frame but increasing the yield of these stunted yellow plants? Or is it simply too late and just try to flush out the current crappy soil, stabilize it as best as possible, and carry on from here and hope for the best? A lot of ifs I know, but just looking to hear suggestions.
