    Now you know someone who used the mg and it didn't work. 18-18-21 is not for flowering and way to hot it kills the microorganisms in your soil that feed your plants. The numbers don't mean anything if you read the ingredients it will say "usable" or "available" those are the numbers that count. Get a flowering fert lose the mg......

    I have Peters Blossom Booster 10-50-10 however, I have been battle what I thought was a total nut shortage, defin. think nitrogen and that why I have yet to change to a flowering nutrient. I am trying to figure out if I have a deficiency or over fert... The problems have remained the same despite my increase of nutrients. So as of right now Im flushing them all and hoping maybe it was some sort of salt or mineral buildup. I have very limited resources in obtaining nutrients and postal is not an option atm, Sooo Im attempting to do the best I can with what I can find. I just need a little direction in whats Im lacking or possibly overdoing.

    I agree with Lipps thoughts. I would guess too strong of nutrients. Try a flush (run about three gallons of water through the pot). And then let it dry out.

    Yeah, its not a nute deficiency, its nute burn. I also used to use MG, it seems that MG, since they're just a general fertilizer and not an actual nutrient, tends to just let it slide if we 'accidentally' knock a powdered case of nutes into a container, why? because tomatoes and veggies eat them up... I have grown MJ using MG successfully, but it was in an outdoor garden, using the MG foiler spray that you attach to a hose, and it was more or less an accidental grow.

    1/4 strength using MG is WAYYY too strong, and as already been pointed out, even using MG at 1/4 strength you don't have the right compound to flower. I have however used the MG bloom booster which is 10-10-60 (I think) successfully at 1/4 strength during flowering. It is SPECIFICALLY for roses, and did quite well on my cannabis plants for a single grow (didn't use it after)

    Good luck bro, everything else looks good!

    Ok so its been about 12 days and other than the purpleing on the stems seeming to be reducing the leaves still show the same symptoms. Im probably going to flush again any other suggestions. I though about doing a controlled test and group them into two groups so I could try two different ways of treating. Hopefully then I would at least save half and get at least one mother to clone. For tonight I will just flush . I have been taking photos of each one individually every day so I could look back and track progression.
