Alright guys my plants have just started their 4th week of 12/12 and have been look good until the last few days ive noticed signs of nute burn coming fast.
Tips of leaves burnt and leaves going a yellowish pale kind of color. I know its not heat stress because my temps are fine. So ive kinda concluded it is nute burn right !? (sorry dont have any pics i know its a noob mistake)

But now that im pretty sure on what the problem is i was wondering if any of you pros can tell me why im having this?

Im growing in coco medium and temps are around 78F in the day. I water every day 2 litres between 5 plants i keep my PH between 5.8-6.2 every time.

Here is my feed chart that i mix with 2 litres of water, am I using to many additives or something? im going off the measurements on the bottles, should i use half the reccomended amounts?

main question, what should i now do to recover the plants and get them back on track ?

i know its alot of questions but i will appreciate any answers people can give me. thanks
 
Hmm...nute burn is tough to beat.
Have you started bloom nutes? Because sometimes the switch to bloom nutes is too great...too much phosphorous all at once can lock out nitrogen and just throw off all the internal balances of the plant...so try giving just water for a few cycles and see if that helps...if it does then good...if it doesn't, then you might want to think about repotting into a new pot of soil...that is the only way I have had a flowering plant recover from anything...and you have to be pretty darn careful when transplanting..

if you are using the Canna A+B then you just need to use less per feeding, but if you were using some sort of schedule that has a switch from grow to bloom nutes, this is a point where things sometimes go downhill.
 
Sorry i should of made it clear that feed chart is just for the 12/12 period of the grow, im going to give pure PH'd water for the next few cycles like suggested if it doesnt clear up would a flushing solution help me out at all ? also should I half each amount of each individual nutrient ?
 
No...most of the time adding more things to try and deal with an issue only causes more issues...and most flushing agents I have seen are meant for the end of the plant's life cycle and they aren't made to be very gentle to the plant itself...Since you are in coco you could just flush it the next time it needs watering, and then resume with as little bloom nutes as you can to get by...Bloom nutes give me issue often if I am not careful...which is why I like using Canna A+B with my coco...the plants look perfect the whole grow and I don't have to add anything else at all... I also don't use any additives and get great looking plants with good yields.
 
good deal...keep me updated so we can figure this out...and while we are at it...I have found that MJ likes to be soaked and then dry as opposed to staying kind of wet all the time...so perhaps instead of watering every day you could water more at a time, with more space without water in between...she likes to get her toes dry that MJ...
 
ahhhh well i didnt know that one, yee ill give that a try thanks bro im still a noob at this growin business just trying to figure out all the kinks and get myself some nice smokeeeeeeeeeee :bigjoint:
