Fert burn recovery in flower

[Deft]

Well, I have grown a lot of plants.. inside and out but never burnt anything. This time the plant LOVED the nutes and kept wanting more and more, eventualy it built up in the soil and it burned the hell out of the plant even though I flushed well. Heres my topped durban at around 32 days into flower, the buds are fine but the leaves are burnt to hell.






Is there anything else I can do at this point? The burning has stopped and the buds are getting trics but I want to help it if there is a way.

your best bet is getting a trial size of liquid karma and buying 5 gallons of purified water, check the ph of the water first if need be, adjust it, probably to around 5.5 because during flower you want some P uptake broheim... flush the shit out of her with the purified and just continue feeding on 1/4 as much ferts as you were using before in purified ph adjusted water

edit: and some molasses too, cheap and effective.

Yea I got molasis, need an air pump and stone though.

Can anyone else weigh in on this? I dont want to water much as the soil holdes a shit tone of water.. way too much.

if the soil is waterlogged you will just have to evaluate the situation... do you think it would be more worthwhile to flush it with purified ph'd water and risk more waterlog or do you think your situation would benefit from letting the soil dry first...? do you have fungus gnats?

I would still say your best bet would be to flush the shit outta them. The nutes which are burning your plant are held in that water against ur roots. You need to flush out that water and put in new salt free water. Deal with the oxygen deprived root zone later on.

hope all goes well bro...peace

Got a PH meter today, a deecent one.. PH was 4.75, thats some strong acid soil!

Flushed with limed water, should be better in a few but I will monitor PH now much more closely.

sup deft those buds are looking nice and fat. Im not sure if burned leaves recover but ur new growth should be looking green again since u corrected the problem.

i would say you def got some nute lock out with that low ph...5.25 is primo for all nutrient absorption
