My baby is dying, please help me this is very important! :'(

Marijuana vastly improved my quality of life, without it I am depressed and my thinking is much clearer when I smoke. I probably would be very miserable without it, this is where the importance comes in, my plant is dying!
The fan leaves (I chopped off the first two so the 3rd and 4th) are turning yellow and curling upwards, they also have brown/copper colored spots on them. The tips of some are also turning black. The problem is BAD on #3 and #4 it's also starting to spread to #5 and #6 (Talking about fan leaves here if I lost you).
I read the plant diagnosis thread and it looked like a potassium deficiency, I read how to fix it and proceeded to fertilize my plant. I also added some epsom salt to the soil and foliar fed her with it. (2tbsp/2 liters of water) Fertilizer is Miracle Grow (The blue concentrated stuff).
After doing this I also added potash to the soil to try and lower the PH, I have no idea what the PH of the soil is currently but I tested it with baking soda and found it to be acidic which means it was on the higher end of the spectrum.
Also a few days before the problem occurred I added sugar and honey to warm water and dissolved it and then poured it into the soil.

Please help me with my problem, I'm desperate! If you want to see how old approximately my plant is currently and what stage of growth she is in check out my grow thread in my signature.

Man, best advice i can offer is, DONT FUCK WITH THE PLANT SO MUCH !! Your trying to mimic the natural outdoors, be patient, stick to a feeding schedule and let the plant do the rest. good luck

Update: I also changed the pot a couple of days ago to a larger pot with the same kind of soil in it.

I also trimmed off the four fan leaves which looked the worst, it still has the uppermost two left which are the healthiest.

miracle grow is pretty hot shit. sometimes having toxic nutrient levels can show signs similar to many deficiencies. how often do you fertilize?
plus acidic ph is actually lower than basic. wouldn't think so from the name, but bases raise your ph. you can get a good reading on your soil's ph by testing some runoff water in your catch tray after watering... it won't be exact but you won't have to get one of the soil ph testers (those are pretty cheap too though)
don't ignore micronutrients and make sure your feeding program includes those, but basic n p k problems might not be the issue.
most of the times my shit turned yellow it was from overferting, if this problem continues flush with water of a ph about 6.0.
i may be wrong, def do some personal research, but often underfertalizing is way better than overfertalizing IMO

Sounds like nute burn, cut back on feeding and do a full flush. Why did you chop off the other fan leaves?

Good information +rep to you sir. It's not nutrient burn, I chopped off the fan leaves because they would have fell off by themselves eventually, they were sickly.

i agree, sounds like over-fertilization (burn). pick up a $10-15 3-in-1 meter for soil (PH/Light/Moisture) ... this will help with knowing the soil PH and when to water (I usually water when it reads 3/4 on the meter i have .... not too dry, but not wet). miracle is 'hot', meaning it burns plants easily. as the prior poster notes, be easy on fert until you know how the plant likes it. some like it light, some like it hot. young plants always start light though, and work your way up as it grows bigger. try doing a water-water-fert schedule to start, always letting the medium dry out a bit between waterings. you'll get the hang of it.

I refer to my previous post. **Leave your plant be, you will kill it by stressing it and overfeeding it**

Dont do that in the future my friend, the leaves make and store energy for the plant, when a leaf is damaged or getting older and the plant decides they are no longer worth keeping around they will cannabilize that leaf sucking out what it can and then drop the leaf on its own. If a leaf doesnt come off with a gentle tug leave it be, the plants not done with it.

Today the problem is gone, the problem was under fertilization as THCBD stated, ALL HAIL THE NEW KING OF RIU.


Feel free to do whatever you want with this thread after you glean whatever helpful information.

Epsome salt in the soil? Honey? I suggest you find some good soil and lime and keep it simple

If they are black, it is indeed too much of something, I can't think of anything else that would blacken them, other than burn. Haze had the best advice, stop trying to fix 6 problems at once, that will only create 6 more. Remember the mantra, LESS IS MORE!! Space out dosages of stuff you think they need, in between give them fresh clean water, plants love water as much as anything.

Yes Epsom salt needs to be diluted, the most used recipe is 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. I would transplant these and start over, you have a mess. I was agreeing with Japan here and talking to the original poster. See where Japan here said keep it simple? Simple is beautiful!!
