Nute Burn? HELP! Pics!

Patch Buddey · Apr 22, 2009

This is my 3rd plant. The first two were nice successes. Good bud. I had some nute burn on my 1st plant, but was using miracle grow. I went to Scots for my 2nd plant. No burn. Perfect.

This 3rd plant is in the same kind of Scots soil, but is a Sativa strain. Does that matter? The first 2 were Indica.

Look at these leaves? Nute burn? Is there any saving it? Will it work it way through this? Looks bad. Worse than my first one.

Any advice is appreciated.

are you measuring your ph and ec/ppm?

LOL, sorry, no. I don't even know what that means. I am def a noob. I just potted the first to and let them go, and they were fine. I am not that technical. I just have it potted in the same kind of Scots soil as the last one. I would not know how to measure that or have the tools to do it. Am I screwed?

Use bottled water, not tap, if yer using tap. That takes all of the guess work outta pH as well as dechlorinization.

Hey dude proper PH is CRUCIAL!!Trust me.
You can get a cheap chemical test solution that is also pretty acurate. Here is a pic of what I use. Use this and your problem should go away. But get it quick, dont wait a couple weeks!
Good luck man ask any other questions you may have.

Nothing yet. That plant is about 3 weeks old and in that Scots soil with nutrients added. Think I need more nutes? I burned the first plant that way.

I used to buy kroger brand drinking water which had a PH of 7.3
Then I switched to something else that was very low, like 5.9 or something.
Anyways now Im using HYTOP purified water which has a PH of 6.3
My point is it doesnt matter where you get the water, it still needs to be PH'ed properly.
Especially when using nutes, nutes will always effect the PH of your water.
Good luck, happy growing!

Aha! I see. I did change the brand of water without thinking. Hmmm, that could be it.

I did not know that diff bottled waters are pHed diff! HYTOP is Food maxx? I cant remember. N-e ways, the only bottled waters I have used are Alhambra and Crystal Geyser, both of which work PERFECT!
