Defienceny or Burn

Here are some pictures of my Diesel Ryder plant. I have been combating this for about 4 weeks and its getting pretty frustrating. Here is a picture of the Diesel Ryder. This is pretty much happening to my other 2 plants as well and I cant figure out what it is. I have been feeding them Roots Organics line at full dosage and still no help. I am feeding them Grow, Bloom, Trinity, and HP2. Also gave her some Magi-Cal from Technaflora and I dont really know what to do. I know that the old growth wont heal, but now it is spreading to the top leaves. Temps are at the upper 70s and humidity is 40%. Soil is fox farm ocean forest. I flushed them before for this problem and that did not help.

I burnt my shit too! It don't look real bad
and I don't like flushing all nutes out I would
water back to back or water next time and
check the runoff ppms. My is in ffof using
advance nutes for the first time looks better than ever!Picture 580.jpg

Looks like nute lock to me. Nute burn always starts at the very tips and edges, as where your damage is along the veins and creeping from the bottom up. What is your runoff PH? I would find that first then flush with ph adjusted water and finally feed at 1/4 strength.

Hey man I'm using Roots also and have had problems with burn, using full strength as directed on the bottle. Then I found a different feeding chart for the same stuff that recommends using 5ml of each component every feeding. This is working better but I think is still too strong. I'd suggest you feed-water-water if you want to use full strength, meaning feed full strength once then plain water next 2 waterings.
I'm experimenting with the 5ml per watering but still have burn. Guess I need to add some plain waterings in there also.
Good luck grower.:peace:

Ok I don't think I have ever given my plants full strength nutes. EVER !

They like to be hungry.

Another note. Never flush with PH adjusters added to the water, especially in your current case.

Flush like crazy with water and start on maximum 1/4 strength nutes.

Nutes do not equal more ganja most of the time they mean less due to burn or slowed growth from lockout.

Sod schedule or what the manufacturer tells you, feed your plant when its hungry and thats it.

I would water feed water feed. Or if you drop the nutes concentration Feed - Feed - Feed but never at full strength.

I have used canna, bio bizz, advanced, sugar peak and loads of bits and bats from other companies. You never need full strength.

I hope this helps, I like to grow good pot but this is just my opinion :) take it or leave it

He's a dick trying to make you use more so he can sell more.

I hope this puts you on the right track for your feedings :)

flush and give it maximum 1/4 strength and you will be back on the right track :)

The strength of your nutes should be highly dependant on the plant size. The reason we increase the nute strength as the plant gets older is because it's getting bigger and requires more nutes to continue and maintain healthy growth, not because the plant is developing a tollerance to them. I use the advanced nutes line and with it the plants can be fed with each watering. As a rule of thumb I keep my soil airy enough to allow me to do a small flush before adding nutes. I use 5 gal pots and the first 4 gallons I run is straight water, the last having nutes added.

Just a suggestion, take it for what it's worth.

Edit: Being a smaller lowrider strain, there isn't enough plant matter to distribute and handle full strength nutes. Like the above post said, 1/4-1/2 strength fot the rest of the grow.

I agree completely. STOP FEEDING YOUR PLANTS they are drowning in food.

You have given a skinny little plant enough chinese buffet to drown itself man. Think before you feed....
