PLEASE HELP soon as possible. im depending on this plant. its my only one and i need it to grow healthy so i can clone it.

just use ph`d water, run 2 to 3 times the amount of soil through the plant and let drain for a while then 1/4 nute mix after, say a 2 gallon pot give it 1.5 cups ph`d nute mix. if flushing dosn`t unlock it you may have to adjust the ph in soil. do you have ph up or down solution for water? to change ph of soil you will need lime or acid

dont get miricle grow or shultz if you can help it but if you must get regular mg not for tomatoes, rose, or azalea`s. and bloom booster or schultz pro bloom food.
then i have a feed schedule to use these products safely and properly. this shit causes alot of problems but it will work if used properly.

sounds good. the only enhancer ive used is green earth organic fish emulsion muskie fertlizer. its really strong it works for everything. 5mL to a L and your only supposed to use it twice a month.

ya, fish stuff is strong. iv`e seen alot of people mess up with it. what iv`e read is it`s better instead of increasing the mix just leave it 1/4 and feed more often seems to work better. but i dont use it so i cant say for sure.
