i made the mistake of re-using soil that was from my last plant that i harvested and put my babies in it and i guess it was still high in ferts from all the nutes i was using for flowering(even though i left it outside with plenty of rain) and they got nute burn(i think)...my question is should i prune the burnt leaves? or will it not hurt to leave them on there?

I always leave any burnt leaves on the plant till they have shriveled into brown curly things,theses leaves whilst still alive help to establish new root systems for the plant,so if i were you i would leave them on especially on such a small plant:blsmoke:

You cannot try to do anything about those leaves just yet, it will traumatise the plant too much. Please flush the soil you're using.. (water it, over and over and over and over again, *only if it can drain somewhere, and only if the soil is drainable) The thing about flushing is that some people accomplish over fertilizing dirt... and you can't flush dirt really, just gets muddy and stays that way.. so like I said, keep watering it over and over and over, the idea is that the plants pot starts draining clear water.

Don't prune those leaves. They are all burnt. What you need to do is flush the hell out of that soil. It looks like you are not using potting soil.If so get some. Double your pot size. Also you need to seperate your plants before their root systems grow together.

i just transplanted them into those pots 1 week ago from styrofoam cups....i had that soli in a bucket outside for over a week and had a lot of rain and i did use about 1/2 poyying soil....is it possible that transplanting them caused that to happen to the leaves?...that soil worked great for my last grow and i had been flushing it b4 harvest then left it outside i figured there would be no nutes left...heres what they looked like b4 transplant

Blunted I can't really understand the way you communicate. If you have 2 plants in one pot. They need to be seperated. One plant one pot. (i'm looking at the first picture you posted.) Is that the way they are planted now. As of 10/13/07. Get them all in equal size containers. Seperate pots for each plant. Notice the biggest plant is in the biggest potting container. The more space your plants have for roots the bigger they will be. Getting lots of rain dosent mean that they are being flushed properly. The containers need holes punched through the bottom for drainage. When you flush them use approximately 4 more times the volume of water for the volume of soil in the container.

The Roots Grow Very Fast And If There Two Plants In A Pot, When U Transplant All The Roots Will Be Wraped Around Each Other, Not Good,
