Big Problem

Hey guys,

I made a big mistake. This is my first time using Fox Farm nutes and I overdid the grow big. I used 2 tbs instead of 2 tsp of grow big per gallon.

Should I flush it right away or let it stay? How bad is it?
 
Only thing i could think of is to flush, but then again is there any signs of deficiency or signs of stress at all? if not i would say wait it out see if any yellowing occurs and deal with it and fix it then.
 
Another word of advice i would never use full blown nutes just 2 weeks in veg, it just runs a high risk of the nutes being to strong and killing your plants. I usally dont base it on age tho i base it on growth and height. IMO i would suggest you make a new batch of feed and use 1/4 or alittle more so it gets used to it and then up her feed maybe every 4 days to a week.
 
Ouch take water out Da Res and add regular phed water use ur ppm meter if u don't have one get one and ya if its two weeks nd ur usin ro water aim for 200 ppm
 
yeah, I really should have made it a smaller dose originally. Noob Mistake. So now that I have 3 times the grow big in there do you think I should flush? I dont want to ruin them before they even start. Is there any chance they could be fine from it?
 
leave it to assess the damage...then flush. never know it could produce a huge growth spurt! More than likely tho u are gonna have a few burnt/yellow leaves comin your way...

always start small and increase amount of nutes.

Best of luck!
 
I would flush with double the amount of water, 2 week plants old are still suspetable for high stress levels. Damping off can happen at anytime until the roots are fully developed. Your should to ease into a nutrient regime. You treat a seedling like a seedling for 4 weeks before its considered fully "vegetative".
 
thanks guys, I just flushed them. Only reason I added nutes so early was because my one strain was starting to yellow. I have them in Fox Farm light warrior right now and I am going to transplant them into ocean forest in about a week when I go to my 3 gallon container. I know not to use nutes right away when they are in the ocean forest, but just tried some now since the one was yellowing. Hopefully I didnt do to much damage. They were probably only sitting in the nutes for 15 minutes before I flushed, so i am hoping they are okay.
