hey, still having problems with that plant, it looks worse. the leaves are more brown and dry and curling up.... its now into the 4th week of flouring i think. on a 12-12, 1/4 ferts with 3/4 water, and only adding ferts every 4 days... one of my other plants is starting to have dry yellow leaves. it is only in its first week of flowering... i have flushed them both fairly well i think... i will try and get pics up soon

u use fertz way too much,u should try fertz every 2 weeks and make sure u flush first,and make sure that the water is draining properly cuz your fertz will just build up n make it worse

HOPE THIS HELPS

Bahaha this was good for a high guy

It seems to me he's not ferting enough,and there's not enough info to give a good answer.What size pots are you flowering in?Did you start in a smaller pot and transplanted up twice?It sounds to me like you have a massive magnesium defeciency to me,are you using tapwater?Is it hard water?Too much calcium locks out magnesium which is sorely needed.As for feeding I feed every time I water.My flowering plants are fed every third day in 3 gallon pts,say twice a week.I use 2 teaspoons tiger bloom PH'd of course.The next time its 2 teaspoons tiger bloom and 2 teaspoons liquid Karma.Next watering its 2 teaspoons tiger bloom and a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses.Then it starts all over again with just 2 teaspoons of tiger bloom.In veg after the plants are a couple inches tall I feed 1 teaspoon Pure blend pro.When they are about 6 inches tall I use a tablespoon of PBP every single time I water,I feed.People are always talking about overferting,using quarter strength and such,I dont subscribe to that technique because feeding each and every time works great for me.I flower with 1K horties and I never have a plant that doesnt yield at least a quarter pound with an average yielding strain like blockhead.You sound magnesium defecient though and if you're using hard tapwater you certainly are.Shit it took my dogs water bowl to become calcified on the surface before it hit me and I started using R/O water.The difference is night and day

watering all the way from seed, every 6-7 days depending on pot size and how fast it drains water out. My experience is that if I water my plants every 3-4, it is already too much. Plants cannot take that much water. 6-7 days is a bingo. I only grow that way since ages ago after some mistakes made. . Anway, Nutrients, as you could read above, every second watering. The strength you have to give is to go slightly with half dose and less, increasing later to full strength dosage. But you can count on your fingers how many feedings you will have, not many anyway. Thats the way it goes Do not overfeed thinking they will grow better Do not overwater, they will suffer, might be total disaster and die.

These plants are over watered and over fertilized. The soil is too heavy and draining slowly and the frequency of watering is too much. Plants this small would be burned with a once a week fertilizing. You need to study up on the basics then start again with fresh seeds. Checking a photographic guide for plant toxicity and deficiencies would help to diagnose your problems. When something is wrong ......stop, don't start pouring chemicals on your plants when you don;t even know what the problem is.
