@Putthataway
One single 1/4 strength foliar application wont fix the issue
A single root drench at quarter strength wont either. You need to regiment it out, 1.5 to 2 teaspoons would be full strength, but you dont want to hit a plant in that condition with full strength, youd have to ph correct the water if you did anyway.
pro tip, if the plant starts doing ANYTHING faster then it was,
the problem is being resolved, even if it looks like its getting worse faster all of a sudden. half scorched leaves will probably finish falling off, burnt tips will consolidate and darken, It will look like its getting worse for a little bit. Thats normal when a plant is already showing damage just because you can only see a portion of it expressing. Once resolved, the damage you havent seen yet will also show, and VERY rapidly.
@closettrapper217 @Greenadian @TheGoldenRoad if you guys dont already know this from your own tinkerings, this is some info you guys will prob appreciate having. Will remove lots of future plant problem stress during their recovery periods.
There a good reason for that too..
When you fix an issue thats slowing a plant down, there is still damage that you cant see, when the plant speeds back up, this damage will express much faster, this is normal, it was already there, you just couldnt see it yet. plants in flower DO NOT heal very well, and they cannot form scar tissue, they can only segregate tissue. Which is what theuy do rapidly when an issue causing physical damage is resolving. There is *always* more damage then you can see on the surface, the plant is just working slowly because its stressed and trying to focus on its flowers..
in flower, when an issue is fixed,. they look worse real quick right before they start turning up, and thats only because the metabolic processes of the plant are *speeding up*. This is something many struggle with when they see it happen. Thats normal and acvtually HAS to happen for the plant to start recovering. Damage already done doesnt magically go away, it would be cool though if it did.
@Putthataway you need to regiment the feed, the ratio i gave you was between 1/4 and 1/3 strength compared to what i use, thats my recommendation because i dont know how much food is stilll left in your super soil, and theyre already stressed, so its best to regiment it out as a light feed over time, then to giv one big heavby feed, that would require you to PH and test the water, and could potentially burn the plant bad if its already unhappy or even trigger a cascading lockout.
Next time dont just add a gallon or two of soil mix for a sativa dom f1...
DOUBLE IT or more.
if you run an Nl5 or a Kush in 3-5 gallon pots, put the special queen and the mauis in 7-10 gallon, etc. They are a whole different kind of beast then a stocky indica or modern fast flowering hybrid.
Well fed, a special queen can go well over a Lb dry flower per cubic meter of tent space (thats only about 3x3x3ft). So can PB2. They can be picky though, they ar not one size fits all plants by any means. They have a rare vigor and structure to them. In a super soil they would need LOTS of extra root space to perform well. Seriously, double it at least if you run them again. Personally for a special queen id go 10 gal with a uper soil, prob 7 minimum on a pb2, and somewhere 5-10 with capts maui's. These are
minimums imho.
