Brown Tips

specialkayme · Apr 28, 2008

Hey guys, just noticed some brown tips on one of my plants today. Wondering if you guys could help me out. It's in a 44 oz. Hempy cup, I use GH nutes, and I've been feeding them the Veg. Grow stage mix (3 tbsp Grow, 2 tbsp Micro, and 1 tbsp Flower). Havn't noticed the problem till today, and the other plant I'm growing doesn't show signs of it (the first two pictures). Research tells me it's a Nitrogen deficiency, but is that possible with the amount of Grow nutes I'm giving?

The last four ones are the plant I'm having problems with.

Looks more like nute burn, not N deficiency.

would you recomend watering with nutes every other watering, switching it with regular water, or cut the nutes down half strength?

It's just a little nute burn. Just cut your dose in half and start there. Personally, I don't mind if my plants show a little burn. It let's me know they aren't lacking anything :mrgreen:

Hey SpecialKayMe - I answered you in the Hempy thread, before I saw this thread. Anyway you have nutrient burn. And I would suggest the following steps to take:

- 2 weeks is too young for fertilizer
- flush with r/o water
- start nutrients back up in about a week and then just give 1/4 strength
- I use GH 3 part Flora Series also and the containers says on the back as recommended feeding for:

Cuttings and Seedlings (your plants are seedlings)
1/4 teaspoon of each part - FloraGrow/FloraMicro/FloraFlower

So start flushing, then just water every other day and after a week to a week and half, you can start feeding again - using the above amounts.

:peace:

EDIT: And with Hempy, you definately only want to give nutrients with every other watering.

So far your plants look great, good luck with your grow!!!

Yup.....nute burn....I've had that a few times. :cry:

Yes I would say nute burn here too. Really doesn't look that bad and doesn't (by the pictures) seem to be on all leaves. Yea 2 weeks is too young but on the other hand you have pretty lush foliage. Cut back for a week and after 2 weeks start a increase. Good luck
