Under or over feed?

This is my roadrunner freebie @ week 5. Ive been feeding her 1/2 strength FF nutes every 3 days.

this problem started on monday, ive been feeding 1 qt of distilled water every day thinking it was nute burn, but the lower leaves are looking worse. As you can see im getting spots on upper fan leaves now too.

What am I doing wrong? Id hate to loose 2 plants in one week :(

Im a new grower so i dont know much but i think if you add some calmag or majical that you will make it better calcium defficent is what id say not knowing you nutes id say by size you should be running around 900 ppm how ever i dont really know best book freind gave me is (how to save your marijuana garden) vey good info

that is either from over feeding, or too much nutrient.
i would only feed them twice a week, check and make sure its dry, put your finger into the soil to check aswell.
i have seen plants like this, and mine have also become similar from over feeding them, although your bottom fan leaves look as if they have too many nutrients.

im only feeding water right now hoping to flush the extra nutes. Think shell recover?

Rule one of growing have the right soil. Such as worm castings,slow nitrogen release, gull poo, guano etc......

That's what I'd recommend focusing first.

Second rule, looks to me as if this plant is growing off of that damn light, lol. Move it a few inches below the light. Looks like some heat stress is starting to show around the leaves. Move it away before it gets any worse.

Rule Three, there is no rule three.

It looks like your going into your end of the first month flowering. I'd transplant out of that little one and add some new soil. This might help the process of getting "natural nutrients" if organic from the soil.

Fifth rule: halt on that water son. water ever 3-4 days. This allows the roots to (expand further down) ultimately strengthening the overall plant and yield. Good luck

Friday night on rollitup. I got to be a little upset with everyone. I posted and havent gotten one god damn response all day. People must not have the attention span like we do. LOL

Rule 3 should be don't make assumptions when you've had a bad day...

Its in FF ocean forest soil, Ive maintained 4-5" off the air cooled light at all times, there is a fan gently blowing upwards through the leaves.

I was only watering every 3 days but right now im trying to flush out any over abundance of nutes before I burn any more leaves.

As for the end of the 1st month of flowering.... Try week 5 from seed. This is an autoflowering strain.

thats not how you should flush if u think its nuteburn(which it probally is along with overwatered) to flush run 3 times as much water as you have soil in your container. thats all ya gotta do. :peace:

My 2 cents. Doesnt look like any nute burn Ive ever seen. Looks like a watering issue. Over or under and u need to say what kinda soil u r using. The light you are using looks like the wrong color spectrum for vegging in the pic. 6500k up to 9000k can be used to veg. Your plant is so tall the lower leaves are not getting enuff light/. You need to invest in more lights with a vegging color spectrum and surround that plant with em or switch to a mh or hps light.

How many times must I say this is an auto flower. There is no vegging. its a 400w hps on a 20/4 photo period per Dinafems instructions.

I mentioned in my above post that its FF ocean forrest soil.

Hortilux HPS on a Lumatek ballast... How do I need to invest more then that?

not a problem, but your wrong. autoflowers do veg for a while then mature and show sex. when they show sex they are considered flowering. so until it gets to that point it is vegging.
Its in flower, I started it under a 250 actual watt 6500k CFL for the 1st 3 weeks.

I dont know why everyones telling me that a 48,000 lumen hps bulb isnt enough light. Maybe my cell phone just makes it look dim.

Heres a pic of the current flowering

lol, didn't know you had a 400w hps. my bad.. try to see if you can use your 250w cfl in addition to your HPS..

what are the temps at.. do you have any a/c blowing on it. you need more light, btw..

Temps range in the 60-70 F range. I did have an unusualy warm day last week that shot the temps over 80 F.

There is no AC but I do have fans moving air over the leaves and the Hydro Farm reflector is ducted outside.

I can literally touch the glass on the reflector and its only warm.

No worries, Im defensive but im not an ass :blsmoke:

Yeah now that my big plant is finished I have a 60w LED pannel as well as the big CFL at my disposal. Ill prob put the LED on one side and the CFL on the other.

what kinda LED you got... ledgirl told me some very important thing about led growth, unfortuantely, only certain(expensive) leds work... i wish this wasnt' true. and bye work i mean work good. here is what she told me... I haven't seen a single UFO on the market that contains all of the nm at the proper wavelengths for marijuana. Nor have I seen any that incorporate a 60 degree LED, which is needed for penetration. LED's grow lights are fairly complex in what is truly needed to produce good results with plants. That is why most companies haven't figured out the design changes necessary, and all of the proper ratios of colors, to create a light capable of full flowering.

My friend got special pricing on her units, which I won't divulge. She was one of the first people to believe in me and my light, and allow me to document her progress. The retail on 5, 126W lights is $2000.
