Nute Burn

[Cannabis_Man]

Recently I read the directions wrong on my Peters Nutes 30-30-30. I over fed the plant which is White Widow and is about 6in tall. It had 8 sets of leaves. I dont have a digital camera, so i dont have any pictures. I flushed the soil using the forumla 3 gal water to 1 gal soil. Anyway, the plant is just not pulling through. The small leaves on the top are ok. the ones below that are half burned, and the rest were so bad and dry i cut them off. Its not growing anymore. I just wanted to know if there is anything else I can do. i have been growing for quite some years and have never experienced this.
Edit: I grow with a 325 Watt mix of hps and mh. Im not sure on my water ph, but ive never had problems before. My temps are at 81.2 F and currently thyat single plant is outside so its not the light. I just thought id add that because i know someone would ask.

IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS ATLEAST TO RECOVER DEPENDING ON HOW BAD YOU BURNT THEM IT MIGHT DIE.

GOODLUCK

Its hanging on just not growing.

It will probably do that for a while as its stunted. If new growth doesnt pick up after a few days it will probably keel over. I would think about going organic as those ferts are not as strong as a 30-30-30 blend. A nice kelp mix and you'll never burn em.

its really hard to find organics around here. The only places I have available are lowes or home depot. I really dont want to order off the internet. Thats the funny thing though. its been burned for 2 weeks and its standing up strong, the leaves are just fucked.

if after a week of no growth or growing its stunted for good

did you flush your plant out real good?

when you say you used formula what do you mean?
you need to use alot of water for flushing depending on the severity and how big the pot size is.....

overferting is a cycle that is hard to get rid of because you stress your plants out then you have to flush which causes more stress, then they have to dry out a bit from the excessive water...... so they go through some stress when all said and done

well man i wish you the best of luck

Flulsh Formula 1 gallon soil to 3 gallons of water. For every gallon of soil you flush it with 3 gal of water. Hopefully it will pull through.

Cannabis_Man, what kind of soil are you growing in? Did it come with nutes already mixed in? Like that miracle grow soil?

 

[Cannabis_Man]

No, I mix my own soil with peat moss and pearlite. Fuck MG and its fertilized soil.

they sell fish emulsion...that will do ya in the begining...thats a start with organics

p.s. I always find it easier to flush after the plant has been in darkness all night.....chems go back to the root ball at night....best of luck

Ive tried fish emulsions and they smell so bad I stoped using them.
