Bounty,
Please ignore posts 27-34. It was rude and inappropriate of florigen to bring in a discussion from another thread. It may have added to the confusion, and I apologize for helping it continue. On to YOUR plants-
Rarely does a plant exhibit one type of over-fert, or deficiency issue. Most often, these problems commingle and result in the plant displaying various symptoms. Plants that have been over-fed will show nute burn.
Let's say the nutes are still being just slightly over-applied after the initial burn, caused by a one-off overfeeding. The initial nute burn will have it's effects, but the soil will also continue to accumulate fertilizer salts. As this happens, the pH may become imbalanced, and/or the continued 'hot' environment, will lead to nute lock-out. At this point, other signs symptomatic of deficiencies can begin to appear, as those nutrients become unavailable to the plant. I beleieve this is essentially what happened to your plants.
So, to show a variety of symptoms is common, but it's like reading the DSM IV. Plenty of kids taking a first year psych class walk out of the room thinking they have half of the symptoms in the book. It is important to step back, and look at the whole picture. Based on the info you have given us, I think that what I said above should be pretty close.
RE: The unrelated postings- The only reason that I am going to post this, is because I believe that there was some erroneous information given by florigen.
Now, I am NOT going to degenerate into name-calling, or anything of that sort. I just want it to be known that this is, obviously, a very BOLD claim, and I see no information, sources, or references to back it up. Ed Rosenthal, however, says that with a magnesium deficiency, "the leaves curl up... along the edges."
This is in addition to the sources Levitikuz and I both posted. Why would I want to find this info as it relates to plants other than marijuana? I am pretty sure the symptoms that marijuana displays when it has a certain deficiency are going to be dissimilar from those in a rosebush, or tomato plant, no? I just re-read the info from Rosenthal, Cervantes, and Frank, and I will post up that info in the appropriate thread- after I make chilli- so don't confuse this thread any further by attacking this, here. I promise I will post it there as soon as I get a chance, and I promise you that the info corroborates- beyond the leaf 'praying'. Which by the way, is an upper leaf, which is not where the most obvious symptoms occur. The plant displays other symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, and that is what I will discuss. Thank you in advance for respecting this, and keeping this thread uncluttered from here on out.
