Help save a burned plant.

[SquallRealm]

The idiot that I am listened to someone who said that I didn't have to follow the every other watering schedule if I cut my nutes by half.


and so it got burt, bad. I flushed her 5 days ago yet she shows no signs of recovery. I'm the most depressed person because of this. What can I do to make her feel better? Its like I can't even look inside the cab anymore because it makes me feel worse.

as long as the new growth isnt burnt tooo bad. and u keep giving it regular amounts of water. ph corrected. she should spring back...
but ya. for future.

feed every other water, and start with half a dose of what you think you should feeed.
then up the dose by half every other water...
thats how i do it and ive never burnt a plant yet.

good luck

should i cut off the leaves that are affected? some are brittle and dry.

You got other issues.
Complete a soil runoff pH test and post results. Looks kinda like Ca deficiency/lockout symptoms are presenting, rather than a straight up fert burn- I want to know why.

Please fill out the troubleshooting form carefully.

Fox Farms Grow Big + Big Bloom. I'm using 2.5ml of Grow Big(1/4 required dose) 7.5ml big bloom(1/2 req dose)
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used? water was a little over 300ppm before nutes, that's all I know
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? I didn't test the run off because its full of dirt, except when I flushed it, and it was 6.4
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen? Drops

Is your water HARD or SOFT? a little on the hard side.
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water? Tap
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned or pinched? I've taken cuttings from it this week.
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when? No
Are plant's infected with pest's? No

Looking at that, I am going to assume the plant has resided in that pot most/all of its life?
Your soil pH has dropped. The residence time in pot combined with runoff numbers tell me you are out of lime in there. The soil being constantly moist will add to that, and the rather small, stunty leaves agree. IF that pot has a built in drain tray that would add to the dampness.
Find a larger pot with NICE BIG drain holes and re-pot into fresh soil as soon as the root ball is dry enough not to break apart during the transfer. I would give it a foliar feed with your base nute as well, since I suspect the soil conditions are going to make any liquid feeding useless until the soil dries out and the re-pot is complete. Then go back to a regular feeding schedule with your base grow fertilizer.

this is its third + final home, the soil is 3 weeks old.
There are 6 drail holes on the bottom. Cab is too small for bigger pot.

What about the leaves that are affected. Should they go or do they recover?

 

[stinkyattic]

They won't recover, although the pale green parts may become a better shade of green as you fix the issue.
Either way, you're going to want to adjust your soil pH back in range before proceeding.
