Oh my God please help! I've put so much money into my first indoor grow.

What ppm where you feeding when you over fed and what ppm last feed? Were you feeding every week up until you stopped for a break? Did you flush before switching to flower nutes?
I don't know where i got that in my head because during veg i only do it weekly and i knew flower fuel was strong as fuvk.. i guess my 7.5ft tall plants can handle a lot more

PK boosters are generally not needed if you have good base nutes.

that's why i asked you if you fed a high K food. those strong boosters will lock the shit out of others if not careful.

just feed with your base nutes and cal/mg at a decent ppm at the proper pH for the next few weeks til they finish.
Oh no shit? You know I've only had problems Auth this flower fuel so I'll stop. One guy said it uses it one single time at week 4 and that's it. What's a good ppm? And how to do test it? I have a ph meter that does ppm but stivk it in the soil? Or runoff. I just flushed it out earlier today so i can start just base nutes in a few days.

After you mix up your nuted water, test the ph and ppm, adjust as needed, and water your plants.

I wouldn't go much over 600 on the 5 scale. You might wanna go lighter than that until she's straightened out. You're in flower, so I'm guessing you got her there with no problems. What changed? Just do what you were doing before she locked out.
Honestly everything was peachy until i tried to reintroduce flower fuel. I mean the other plants loved it. This one hated it. I mean look at these other 3Screenshot_20210131-120822_Gallery.jpg20210125_131533.jpg20210125_131817.jpg

Flushing is a joke at the end of flower man, that's just fact... Look it up...
Its not a joke. It is inconclusive that it affects the overall quality of the final product. If you are growing in a medium, such as CoCo coir, then , flushing near the final week of flower can remove some of the salts that have acquired at the base root level , and, that is never a bad thing. A lot of this depends on the medium you are growing in. So , when you say look it up. Maybe provide your sources that would have you call it a joke.

Ime the thing about soil, if you over fed, it is very hard to reverse it especially if the soil is charged with other stuff. It is not as simple as some may think if you want the most out of it; and that is all that i have used for 10 years. You would have to flush a very long time to reverse it, problem with that is in flowering, every week is critical. Just my experience. I use fox farm coco loco with cannas line. Plants stay ultra green and lush until the end.

My god there is so much going on in this thread, straight up guesses the Op has to be so confused lol.

if you aren’t sure what ppm you gave to the plants in week 2, what makes you feel that you over fed them?

what were you putting into the soil during veg?

what soil is it?

how long have they been in this soil total? (Veg/flower)

where is your base water coming from? What’s the ppm of that water?


Depending on your answers it could be a few things

I suspect either

1. They are hungry
2. There is an imbalance

What’s your goal? Organic? Reg soil run? Living soil?

You’re talking bottled nutrients

Right?

even though i'm not a dirt guy, here's my diagnosis:

the too much P locked out your Ca, Mg and Zinc
the too much K locked out your N.

just use those base nutes and calmg if needed.
Don’t mean to nick pick but too much K doesn’t interfere with N it’s the other way.

That mulders chart can be kinda confusing at first.

Perhaps someone should write a breakdown thread and post it as a sticky.

it’s invaluable when diagnosing issues I find

"Perhaps someone should write a breakdown thread and post it as a sticky" Sounds good , till someone says , oh shit , here come the science people..and can you help me fix my plants ...
