Whats wrong with my plant.

nothing you can do except just water them with plain water till they recover. the burnt leaves arent going to recover so stop looking at them right now. they will eventually get worse, dry up and fall off. thats ok. just make sure you pluck em off when they stop being green and are all yellow/black whatever color they turn. what you need to be looking for now is whether its spreading or getting better. dont water anymore till the pot is dry, then water all the way through till theres a little runoff. like 10% of what you put in. continue watching and watering plain water when they dry out. you dont use chemical ferts so no point in flushing. all you can do is wait it out.

IMHO I would definetly start with a flush.....Whenever problems like this come about I feel it is best to flush first. Do a simple flush with RO water if available, your tap water PPM is pretty high at 300 ppm. Thats what I would do

hey guys just to clarify to those of you who dont use fox farm nutes big bloom is a micronutrient nute its NPK are 0.3-0.1-0.7 tiger bloom is fox farms bloom fert with 2-8-4NPK but none the less as i use these nutes i would say lockout caused by far too much cal and mag his tap has cal and mag his big bloom has cal and mag and his soil has cal and mag. as for why the transplant helped IMHO its because after so many waterings his soil was loaded with the cal and mag from his tap but the new soil has far less.300 ppms for tap is borderline too much you need to be very careful about how often you water or maybe try dilluting it with RO or distilled. FFOF does not have lime so its prone to ph probs just my experience i switched to happy frog potting soil great stuff right out of the bag no perlite needed

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll keep you all updated.

there's 2 reasons why I cant re-pot so please don't be aggravated when I say I cant.

1. There is no room, the entire cab is filled with these 16oz bottles and its all a tight squeeze.
2. It's not the only plant affected with this.

I'm using Dr.Budgreengenes SOG method, the whole point is to grow them in the 16oz bottles.


I'll wait it out like you said, and will post back in a week.

Don't stress, they'll recover. I just went through this with a batch of homemade cocosoil with dry nutes added. I added too much and my whole garden started to fry. I switched to straight coco, re potted everything in it and now I feed just liquid nutes and everything is great. I still am tweaking my feeding for this method and after trial and error and experience you will be fine.

Keep flushing with the plain ph'd water, they will catch up to the nutes available and be fine. In a week or two you can start giving 1/2 strength Gro. Your lower leaves are starting to fade and yellow from lack of N (Gro). You may also have a phosphorus deficiency judging from the dark grey/brown blotches on the leaves. You need to feed with Grow to get the proper NPK ratios for vegging. Stop using Big Bloom until you are flowering or I would only add the big bloom if you start seeing cal or mag defs from not enough added, but there is lots in your tap water.

The spotting on the lower leaves is cal def either from lockout from too much minerals in your watering solution or ph drop from the overfert. Twisted, wavy leaves are a sign of incorrect ph.

Thanks FirstTime for the FF info. I use BioBizz organics and although the numbers are low, it burns my plants under CFLs and T5 if I am not careful. My moms get 1/2 ml/L gro, twice a month and the veggers under T5 get around 1ml/L gro around twice a month. My flowering plants follow a modified BioBizz schedule, alternating every second day between nutes and plain water. If you look at BioBizz in Europe the numbers are much higher because there is a different NPK rating in Europe. It is more accurate IMO and shows that organics can burn if overdone.

If your plants were under MH then I would bet that they would be fine with the feeding you have given but with CFL you really got to dial it back....

hey heady thanks for the info about lower nutes on CFL grows i started out with cfls then before i flowered gave in and bought a 400 hps. so any fluorescent use is for vegging and primarily handled by a good soil mix and bigger pot sizes in fact i almost never need more than 1dose of nutes until my plants are 30 - 45 days old and at 10-11 nodes when under fluoros. i have the bigger is better mentality unfortunately now i have 1600 watt flower room and 300 watts of fluoros in the veg.i agree with the watering no nutes for a while though good idea. if people only lived by the motto better safe than sorry always err on the side of caution with nutes too much is way worse than too little
