I think I overfed this plant when I watered it, I know I did. My soil ph comes back good. Leaves slowly yellowing some looking straight burnt

Its about time to water again should I flush with ph corrected distilled? How much water for this 3 gal bag?

Shes overfed. I would use a low ppm fertilizer mixed with pure water and flush the plant well. Us only about 125 ppm or 0.3 EC water. The small amount of nutrients in the pure water will act as a solvent and loosen the heavy salts and help them release. Also, the low ppm will assure that the plant will still have basic nutrients for growth while in recovery. .

It’s about time to water her again. The soil is actually too alkaline and I need It to be more acidic by 2 points .

I’ll try dolomite lime and continue to use ph corrected water.

Should I use extra water than usual to try and flush the soil? How much water should I put through this 3 gal grow bag? Plant is two months old roughly 16” tall 8” wide

And should I always water with a small Amount of a wettingagent like dish soap?

Can this plant recover fully or should I replace it now?

Man, you're understanding pH the wrong way around. If you add dolomite you will INCREASE the alkalinity. Soap will increase alkalinity. (Where the fuck did you get the soap idea? No don't tell me.)

Like the previous poster said: FLUSH your plant! This means you water, water, water. PUT 20 litres or 5 gallons thru! Do that twice. Then feed again this time at the correct rate.

The plant doesn't need replacing. Just follow instructions and start thinking about what you're doing!!!!

That's me finished. Don't reply.

There should be plenty of dolomite lime in the soil and that's a good reason not to super flush. JUST Mix a tiny bit of fertilizer in pure water "RO or RAIN" and flush the plant just enough to lower the ppm. Using soap as a wetting agent works well in some cases but not in this one. Just add enough low ppm feed water to bring down the EC. It shouldn't take more than a couple of gallons to lower the EC.

Friend, I hope you have an EC meter and can get readings easily. If a grower has an EC or TDS meter they can prevent overfeeding and check the purity of the water. EC and pH meters are inexpensive and worth the investment. The only difference between a grower that knows what he's doing and one that doesn't is he or she uses EC and pH meters. If you don't have them get them and you'll be glad you did. Good Luck and Happy Gardening.

Check your runoff PH before you do anything. Most soil base PH is about 5.8. For soil, you should be feeding a PH of 6.5. Once we know what your runoff is we can make an educated guess. Most plant issues are ph related.

Hi. You can try with only water for few days for clean the substrate but then if necessary you could try with super flush.
My 2 cents

 

[Rtaym22224]

I put 4 gallons of ph corrected distilled with big bloom ec 225ppm ph 6.6 through approx 2.5gal of soil. I thought I would have drowned this plants root system but it is doing well today and I think it will continue to recover. I wish I put another 2 gals through buts it’s already done.

I’m keeping my temps low around 70 at the soil level to try and prevent root rot. Still have correct target vpd.

After the heavy watering I removed some of the muckiest soil from the top, replaced with dry soil, used a knife to till and aerate the dirt after the heavy watering; poked a bunch of holes in the grow bag where it was retaining moisture.

Co2 is dialed in turns on seven mins every hour to keep my tent at 1200 co2

Lights are on full power now

I expected to find it dropping this morning from all water. It seems to be doing well. Cut off two fan leaves that were 70% damaged. The leaves used to feel like sandpaper on this plant not anymore.

I think this plant will be stunted for a bit but will recover. I’m going for a very long veg 3-4 months

 

[Rtaym22224]

And on my other three plants that are all about six weeks old I’m seeing about 2.5” of growth a day

I see P definitely. I would spray map and go with .5g/gal watered in.

Pardon my ignorance what do you mean?

And I have something off look at the new growth on these plants it tells me something is off. What would it be?

I will reply anyways. You’re wrong about the dolomite, dumbass

I was referring to soap in the context of watering with a small amount to control fungus gnats if they invaded my newly flushed plant

I’m going for a very long veg 3-4 months

in this time you could pop seeds and finish the whole tent

 

[Rtaym22224]

Can I trust ilgm? Ordered 20 gelato seeds and 20 dos I dos feminized

 

[jackspratt61]

MonoAmmoniumPhosphate spray and .5 g/gal watered in.
Dolomite raises ph guy.

 

[Rtaym22224]

In larger amounts maybe. I find it to be a good ph buffer

Ty. Does this product work?https://www.amazon.com/Monoammonium-Phosphate-12-61-0-Greenway-Biotech/dp/B012E68WUW

 

[jackspratt61]

In any amount for sure. Good people are helping you guy.
