HEY GUYS,
I have a sick plant.I think i got carried away with the nutes and i overwatered.I have nute burn on the bottom leaves and yellowing on the bottom half of the plant.I flushed the plant with water and stopped the nutes.I have only been watering with 6.5 ph water with 1 teaspoon of epsom salt per gallon.How long do you think it will take to recover?should i do anything else?also i have 5 seedlings that are showing the same symptoms.thanks for the help!

Ok, Plant has some other important issues you are not addressing.
what is the NP ratio of your vegging nute?

Whats Wrong:
1. Dont worry about PH in soil. 5.7-7.5 ph is good.
2. There is barely any nute burn and it really is not over watered much.
3. You actually ahve some serious nute deficiencies. Cal-Mag and Nitrogen

What you need to do

1. Flush properly ( 3 times the pot size)
2. Find a natural fert like bat guano or fish emulsion OR a better vegging nute with a high N ratio.
3. 1 teaspoon of espsom salt.
4. Don't do this all at the same time. After you flush, let sit for a day, then you add the Veg formula, normal watering, then on the third watering you can add the Epsom salt.

good luck

What dirt/nutes are you using?
From the color of light I'd say your in floweing:lol:
What makes you say that. He is vegging for sure. that thing is tiny. He is just using an HPS, probably a 250, for his vegging stage.
or it is just a reflection from the wall, making it look like that and he is using cfls

I am using kellogs premium potting soil.My problems started about 2 weeks after i started formula flora grow at 1/2 strength.I feed them every time i watered which i think was a mistake.I feed my seedlings the same strength and the first true leaves started to yellow.I am new to growing and learning as i go.
