So I switched my nutes from botanicares CNS17 line to advanced nutrients line...and so far so good, I'm digging it, but I had a little mishaps.I used to run just bloom & ripe w/ liquid karma + cal mag and sweet raw almost the entire time, now I'm running the sensi A & B with voodoojuice, big bud, B52, overdrive(not all at the same time) + I'm still using botanicares cal mag, but i switched to there black strap molasses in place of the sweet raw since I'm in sunshine #4 soil anyway.

So anyways I mixed up the dosage of nutes and I accidentally doubled the dosage of the sensi A & B...instead of 30 ml of A&B total, I gave 30 ml of A and 30 ml of B...oops, the funny is thing is that most of my girls took the dosage very well, I have two lights and each light is a day apart in terms of feeding but when I went to feed the second light a day later I checked my ph of the water and guess what? it dropped.5-1 full ph point because of such a high dosage of nutes, I then compounded a simple mistake by adding to much ph up, and MORE cal mag...
but believe it or not that's still not that bad....If I would have stopped there Id be okay....here's the third strike.

I then decided it was time to stake some of my plants (Im not using tomato cages this time because I dont have enough room really, so I have to use the devils support, bamboo stakes) I only did a couple(thank christ) but the damage was done...the 4 plants I staked started to get terrible nute burn, but not just that they wilted like they hadnt been watered, a lot of leaves shriveled and got crispy but not all, Ive had nute burn before but not like this, most of them looked just about dead...i did and immediate flush and gave the damaged ones 20 hours of night or so....I doubt they will make it, but if I can salvage anything ill be happy.
