Need Emergency Help, plant is burning i think

joedan890 · Nov 13, 2013

whats happening to my plants? i noticed this on 2 out of 7 of my plants. is it a deficiency or am i burning them? how do i go about flushing them if i am burning them?

my plants are 8 days old i started from seed. Im using fox farm happy frog soil and a perlite mixture. im using fox farm nutrients (big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom) following the directions exactly and giving them regular water every other time.

Stop feeding your plants bro wait a week or two and go a quarter strength to begin with! U flush by adding nothing but water for those baby pots maby like 2 to 3 water bottles each. U gotta goggle shit bro read a little more!

i guess i deserve that lol. i only used full strength because i did last time i tried growing and it didnt burn at all. i should have took into consideration every strain is different.

my pots dont have holes at the bottom too i think i need to drill some.

Your setup looks great man. It looks like ( so far) a very mild touch of nute overload. You should be able to get past this pretty easy. They really dont need much for nutrients when they're that young. It sure isn't hard to give them too much.
Stick with plain water for a few feedings and you'll be fine. They otherwise look nice at that stage. Good job.

thanks man i appreciate that!

the two i had in smaller pots i transplanted because they already had multiple roots coming out of the hole in bottom of the pot. should i have done this or waited a bit longer? i put them in 3 gallon buckets and i plan on doing that with the rest soon

Sure you can do that just keep in mind when they're that young still when you water or feed a 3 gal container, its probably going to be awhile until the pot is light enough again to feed again. Until that root system spreads throughout the pot it will hold water for quite awhile.
