no its the soil i think because i put in a 17-17-17 fert from seed.. i dont think i should have done that because its coming to bite me in the ass even though i only used 1/4 of the recommended amount for my pot size.
it was growing great and everything its only 3-3.5 weeks old tops. its began preflowering too early to tell but i say its female since the leaves are getting crystals on them. i see green long things coming out of the nodes so well know soon enough.
after i flushed it with water that one time the next day it looked a bit healthier. i cut off the dead and dried parts of it off only about 2-3 leaves (not whole leaves but parts of them). i didnt want the plant wasting its energy on fixing the dead shit.
It being the soil is a concern.
Definitely flush with 3 to 4 times the amount of water per pot size like 'Pennywise' said.
Unfortunately sometimes you can flush, and flush but not be able to 'de-nuter' the soil enough if you made it too potent.
Usually over-nuted soil will have an immediate effect. It's surprising it's lasted this long if the soil is that bad.
Has it been in the same pot from seed?
I would be looking to transplant into some non nuted Ph'd soil.
I'm talking changing the soil without affecting the plant to much, (stress).
Is this possible?
If the plant is small enough and doesn't have a massive root structure yet, take away as much of your over nuted soil as possible from around the roots of the plant without disturbing it's root structure too much, when you transplant.
If it's already filled out the pot it's in with it's roots, transplant into a larger pot if possible with all new soil being non-nuted.
We need to let the roots find some nice nute free soil.
You can add plenty of liquid nutes once it recovers.
) im going to flush the put again tmrw just so i dont over do it. yeah its fucked that the seedling grew soo much before it started vegging and then got the nute burn :S
