yea hey hi. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me.. maybe what I am doing wrong?

Plant is 7 weeks old.. and recently I had to use some kinda rose food with a npk of 8-12-4.
Now remember I started this one at 1212 right off.

It was mature enough to flower, and was just starting to show that its a female. And now i have a problem. Since using that 'rose food' crap... 20% of my foliage have spots on them.
Starting to wilt. The leafs will then wilt and die eventually. You guys think it was the 8-12-4 'rose food' that maybe.. it was just to strong or something? The 'rose food' crap was in granual form. I think I may have given it too many granules ya dig? Yea... so to be safe rather than sorry. I took the time and used a silver spoon.. and just scraped off the top 1/4 layer. Just enough to get the granuals outa my soil ya dig.

Think my plant.. think she'll make it??
I got scared and cut off all the bad foliage.
In attempt to stop it from spreading ya dig?

Down below is a pic of some of the bad foliage. and.. how my plant used to look..

and how she looks.. as of now.

Thanks for any information.. support.. links..
any info is appreciated.
peace.

Camera works now. You have to almost use a rechargeable type of batteries to use digital camera's. Here are the pics I promised.
I'm sad now.. I hope she pulls through... thanks for watching my grow everyone.

yeah you may have burned the shit outta the fucker, but that usually doesnt creat spots... you may have changed the ph of your soil to a point that it is locking out certain nutes, try getting a ph meter and checking the ph of the water you are awtering with so you know what that is and thenchecking the ph of your runoff when you water and comparing he two to see if the ph of the soil is way off... ph should be 6.0-6.8 for optimum nutrient intake. you can also check out this thread to see if it may be some sort of deficiency... http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

Don't ever pull off bad leaves that are bad because of ferts (until they are completely shriveled). If you pull off a leaf that is half burned, then instead of the extra ferts burning the other half of that leaf, the ferts go to the next leaf and burn that one. You actually spread the burn by pulling off partially burned leaves.

(I know about nute burn because i recently burned two 5 1/2 ft budding females to death... good thing i've got a shit load of rooted clones... )

Your joking right?

Damn.. wish I would have known that this morning when I got her out of bed. Well, I will just stop pulling leafs then. Thanks for the help.. crap man.

What NPK levels have you guys used in the past. Just for the flowering cycle only. I had this plant on 12/12 from seed. First try at 12/12 from seed. This plant had just started to show that.. its def. a she. But i dunno now. Hope the leaf cutting doesn't disturb her too much.

ya. i read the measurements wrong on my new ferts... directions weren't in English.

BTW
If it really is nute burn, you need to flush right away. I burned 4 plants, flushed 2 and the other 2 died.
Conclusion: FLUSHING WORKS LIKE CRAZY

fox farm makes good flowering nutes such as tiger bloom its 2-8-4... you want more phosphorous while blooming and less nitrogen really when you are about to finish flowering it doesnt hurt to let your plants become nitrogen deficient and start to show yellowing leaves and such. but that isnt until flowering is just about done. up until you are going to do your preharvest flush (about 2 weeks prior to harvest) you should be using nutes with higher levels of phosphorous.
