Is this lady salvageable?

I don't know if this lady is salvageable at all and will keep flowering. 😭🥀

Soil: 3 gallons-fox farm happy fog mixed with perite. On the next watering, I was gonna give some H202 water.
What's the cheapest way I can give it extra nitrogen?

I need to somehow fix this and get something some kind of yield. I'm not in a rush. I just want to do something to correct my mistake.

I buy the smallest package they have of standard Full Spectrum(it has all the macro and micro nutrients) in one mix Hydroponics mix at the hydroponics store, then I use the lightest recommended feeding schedule to get rid of any plant imbalence with out shocking the plant. I think it is called ferti-gation. Another option is to buy an organic top dressing and work it into the soil and then water as usual. It looks like a very nice plant, happy growing!

Don't think they need much extra nitrogen. See the leaf clawing? First thing I would do is remove all burnt leaves and give a good flush. Check runoff pH and EC. Then give some good bloom fert. You should be fine

Ingredients include composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, earthworm castings, bat guano, humic acid, oyster shells, and dolomitic lime for pH adjustment.

If you flush this medium you will get more problems as it holds a lot of water.. flushing is for coco...
His medium is probably too acid..

So then what do I do NOW? Cause it looks now like it's getting worse. Why the f*** does this always happen to me?

What about the H2o2 water?
forget about h2o2 in organics unless you are spraying the leaves to kill something...

The soil mix you use does not need fertilizer as far as i know..
you need a very light soil mix to use liquid fertilizers together or you will end up overfeeding

like i wrote on the other topic, a good thing to do is repot the plant in fresh soil and only give water.. she may get into shock but after a week or so she may get back on the track and finish.. i cant see another solution for you here..

What if i don't have or can't get new soil. Also what about top dressing with worm castings and only plain water?

Yes up-pot her into a larger pot, a 2 inch increase would work. Use the same soil.

1st I don't have a larger plot. 2ed I don't have extra soil to spare. So i have to do with what I have on hand.

2 days ago I topped with earthworm casings. And I watered it in. We'll just see what happens next. So far it doesn't look like it's getting any better at all. I wan thinking about trimming the dead leaves, but I don't knowif that will hurt or kill the plant.

Ya still thnk its salvageable?

Looks like Mg to me.
Don't stick any in, as it's probably a lockout. Instead, use a foliar application. Sometimes you will see results in hours.

It is not N deficiency. It's not P, or K. It's not Ca. It looks like it could be Mg. The other minor metal problems can cause stripes, but this level of severity seems unlikely.
Yes.. I have convinced myself. It's Mg. However, a foliar feed with epsom is what will really confirm my thoughts. While doing no lasting damage, if I were wrong.

Even though it still isn't looking good. I added a little bit more soil and gave it about a gallon of plain water. I'm thinking I might not have been watering enough each time I was watering.

And what about the removal of more of the dying leaves?

And just in case this thing goes ahead and dies. Anyway, I went ahead and started and auto flower seed.

Latest pics are not good... not Mg like I imagined either.

It's a shame you didn't follow your gut with the h2o2, in an attempt to inject some life into them. I have used it in organics. The stuff can come out peoples taps in greater quantities than they imagine. It's not instant death to the oxygen using micro herd, as some think it will be.

That food has more N than P or K. It's 6-5-5 elementally. It doesn't look suitable for flowering.

If you don't get an EC meter it's anybody's guess. If you have one you can test the water before using it and test the runoff after using it. The difference between someone who knows what they are doing and not is if they use basic meters.

One thing you can count on in the horticulture business is whenever there is any kind of problem with the plants one always pulls out the EC and pH meter to find out what the problem is and then knows and chooses a solution.
