As I mentioned before I would’ve thought the flushing would’ve prevented this issue? Other than that I’ve not fed any more that I was supposed to? Stress could be a factor but I doubt that would’ve caused such bad burning in only specific areas? Again I’m new to this so please correct me where I’m wrong

It's easy to over-feed using manufacturers' feed charts. It's important to understand that 1) they're often made assuming big plants under big lights, and 2) they tell you how much (what ratio) to feed, not when to feed. One way to feed a synthetic soil grow is to track runoff ppms, feeding, say, 600 ppms of a balanced nutrient solution any time you see the runoff drop below 1,000 (or 2.0 EC). Finally, feeding a late veg ratio to flowering plants will generally give them too much N and not enough P and K.

quickly looking i see nitrogen toxicity, overwatering, light stress, nutrient burn etc

Bro I see what your saying but I haven’t given it any nitrogen, my lights have been at 60% capacity, I believe when this photo was taken I did up it to about 80% so that’s what you could be seeing. Defoliation and flushing could've caused stress but the leaves are burning without N bro so

Emerald Harvest Micro is 5-0-1. That "5" is nitrogen.

I appreciate it my man, but unfortunately I’ve had no issue with the charts feeding regime before and I’ve been told by everyone I’ve conversed with to feed once a week, I’ve done this and no issue until recently. Hence the “mystery”. I apologise to people, I’m clueless on the issue, not clueless on growing, I’ve done extensive research and countless hours of workings out.

OMG! Thank you bro how was I so foolish! why does there regime say that for this stage though? I’ve had no previous issue with there ratios

No worries. Good luck.

I had put that message before seeing what you had put. How did I not See the goddamn 5! Why would they say to use it that’s odd?

Sunasun · Oct 7, 2023

Too much light intensity and a continuing over watering problem from the beginning. I bet most of your root system is at various stages of decay in there.
Tldr
You have root rot

Sweet that you sorted out we’re the n was coming from.

Hardly any k at all and zero p that’s not a great nute ratio even for veg btw

Just starting week 6 of flower, and I’m seeing dry, brown, crispy edges on multiple leafs but not at all bud sites. I originally thought this was nutrient burn so I flushed and proceeded to feed nutrients at a half rate. I now believe it’s either some sort of deficiency or a PH imbalance. However, I’ve been using water from the same tap throughout the whole process with no issues. I’ve been having this problem for over a week now.

I thought it might be a cal-mag deficiency but it’s not the whole plant which doesn’t make sense to me? It could be due to heat stress during the night but I really do not now. This is the first plant under my care so I’m essentially clueless.

If anyone knows how to help please let me know I’ll provide photos below.

Looks lik nitrogen and some overwatering u should be getting some yellow towards end of week six but im no expert lol wat strain is it

Make hash with it and start over is my goto solution for most problems in late flower not enough time to correct this i would think

First of all, Emerald Harvest makes very good (if not better than Advanced Nutrients) fertilizers, but personally I would ditch their 3 part line and go for their 2 part "Cali-Pro" line. It's much better, in my opinion.

Also a couple of products they make I like to keep in my toolbox - Sturdy Stalk and pH Down. Both very potent, a little goes a long way and lasts a long time. Same for the Cali Pro 2 part series. I usually only have to go half strength sometimes less, from what they recommend on their charts.

The golden rule of cannabis growing is never follow the manufacturer's recommended dosages especially if they're making fertilizer for cannabis. They ALWAYS tell you to use way more than what you really need, because they want you to buy another bottle!

Generally speaking most fertilizers you want to go at least half strength and work your way up or down as needed. Eventually you'll get to know whatever product line you choose to go with, and you'll be able to tell what your plant needs and when.

Once a week, water and feed at the same.
I’m growing in multi purpose soil

I think you need to be watering 2 to 3x per week.... feed with every other watering

Bogus_Monkey · Oct 9, 2023

Can you get a dead on sort of level across picture that shows the size relationship of your plant to your pot and what is the PH of your run off?

Bogus_Monkey · Oct 9, 2023

Probably too late to up-pot but you may be able to get your PH corrected and give it a thorough flushing. From a distance I would agree with the root rot thing. With your branches tied down to it, is there any way to knock out the central bottom of your pot and set it on top of another filled with fresh soil? I know that would generally be a huge pain in the .... . At least you would know if was over watered and has root rot. You are coming to the point of addressing with yourself, cutting (and drying your losses) and starting over VS keep going? Almost nobody here hit a home run on there very first time up to the growing plate, keep swinging and you will. Mice set up overall and I like your training tying branches down.

Right the feed charts on the bottle are based on 1000watts per 4x4 space

I'm late, l was busy getting stoned. So I only caught about a third of thread. Glad everyone got to the answer. Before I said something dumb. Like, at first glance. I jumped to the conclusion his media was staying to wet. Causing bad ph levels hence lockout. Thank you smart people teaching me to read a label. Now I just need to learn what all words mean. And what my plants need are. Take it at a learning experience. Build up your knowledge bank. Keep growing my growmie
