It's a random auto. Fresh soil (miracle grow) tried PH balancing. Coffee. And then Miracle grow flower food.....HELP PLEAse. It keep saying photo is too large. However is a pale lime green🥺
 
Improper watering practices is always a big hit with new folks.
And I will admit even older growers 😩
But we will need some pictures.
And the statement " balance pH " needs some clarification on what that means and what ya did.
 
Miracle Grow anything is not good for cannabis Get it outta that soil!

Miracle Grow is one of the BEST things for keeping vegging plants nice and green. The problem is cannabis spends only part of its life vegging, and when it moves into flower that slow release nitrogen can be in there interfering with everything else the plant is trying to stack and release rate is unpredictable. The general consensus is to avoid it for cannabis, but I'm thinking a long veg or keeping a mother plant might be exceptions to the no miracle grow rule.

I started typing last night and wound up falling asleep before I posted it. To get your Pic uploaded, bring it yp on your phone, take a screen shot of it and upload the screen shot.

In the meantime, please don't give your plant any more coffee. It's a clever micro amendment, not an effective pH buffer.

guess ill find out. but i know on afew leafs i have leaf burn and im thinking nutrient burn rather then light burn.

i remember long ago reading something about planting in mirical grow.... just dont remember what was said....

MG has time released nutes in it. Your plant will be getting to much nitrogen right about flowering time. and if you mixed two diff kinds then thats alot of food the plant doesnt need.
 
Too much nitrogen. You can also do that with EWC but it takes a while and a pile. The tips stated to fade hard and I over shot bigley.

They can recover but it took 2 weeks to here.

If using miracle grow the plant would not have a recovery unless the veg was longer than the nitrogen would last.
Due to the extended release you can not flush it out of the soil as it is encapsulated.
Now having said that I can highly recommend the miracle grow perlite with " added shit "
The add is .01 .01 .01 and does a great job stabilizing the biome and pH in the event of an overwater.
30% by volume mix with organic soils.
 
I started out with MG 6 years ago and had great results with my Autos outdoors, but the quality of the media has gone way down the last 2 and I won't bother with it. Too many sticks, twigs, bark and rocks (yes rocks).

Rocks are okay, contributes to aeration but not all rocks are created equal for this role. If they're porous rocks, awesome. Bark and twigs contribute a nice supply of nitrogen with their decomposition. What you're dismissing as worse might actually be improvements.

Miracle Grow rocked the ag world by coming up with a soil blend that seemingly never comes up short on nitrogen for the plant. Unfortunately, that makes it not ideal for cannabis where there is very low demand during flower and it's just in there interfering and contributing EC that is useless to the plant, competing with other nutes, and fostering a soil environment that is less ideal for producing resins and rich terpenes.

I don't know, MG seems to have cheapened their fertz. 2 years ago my auto's fan leaves yellowed before they should have. I was giving flower nutes, no N (thinking the MG beads were still good), so it's possible the little beads were gone. Or, I messed up somewhere else.

Check ur camera settings for smaller file size.

Youre probably not wrong. The last couple years we watched the price of a fast food combo double, and half gallons of ice cream are now 1.5 quarts. To maintain profitability it's feasible they started sourcing cheaper materials.
 
Google: my cannabis plant at ? weeks (what ever week she's at) looks pale lime green.

This will help get you going, soon as we get a picture , we can get u on the right path.

prob the nitrogen from soil and coffee together, the clawing down is usualy that if the tips start turning yellow thats it

dont add any more nutes and keep watering regulry becarful not to over water it should start gobbling up the nutes as it gets into flower
