Wtf?!?!

Hey everyone. Everything was going great till 2 weeks ago. Checked everything I could online, still kinda stumped. Little background: purple kush seed. Was started indoors, veged under 10-23w 6500k cfl until sex showed. Placed outdoor June 1. Started life outside kinda rough. Broke her head off tying her down but she bounced back. Mg soil with perlite and vermiculite at a 70-30 ratio perlite and vermiculite to soil. Was givin a solid 10-10-10 fert that fed it June, July and half of august. Was lookin awesome, green, bushy, could smell her across the yard. Over ferted with 10-10-10, didn't notice till a few days later. Couldn't check ph(until today) so I flushed with ph adjusted water(8.0 down to 6.5)I already had water ph'd. Got worse. Flushed again. 5 gal bucket so about 30gal of water went thru in a week and a half. 2nd flush had very light bloom solution. Still looked horrible. Checked roots as we have had a hell of a rainy season. Not rotten persay, roots mostly white, some creamy, but the dirt stank and roots weren't super thick, dense yet stringy. Rinsed roots gently and re-potted. Looked better for a day or 2 and wham. So now I bow to those with superior knowledge.

If your mg has time release nutes then flushing will not help at all, only release more nutes. I don't see signs of severe over feeding so maybe just go with water only for a little bit. You could do a $5 soil test to see if NPK or ph are out of balance.

Geez, look at that. Looks like some kind of burn to me. That 10-10-10 seems kind of high, I could be BF'n wrong. If you fed it that for almost 3 months I don't think it would be nute burn though. How are you checking your root's? Did somebody water it for you with say a garden hose or a different water source? I don't think your soil or nutes is the problem if it was thriving with it. I think I might be seeing some re vegging going on there as well. Hang in there, someone is on the way with whats happening.

Like you said, the soil stunk bc it got water logged for too long so you got a bit of root rot. Its in wicked shock right now. I think you did the right thing by pullin it up and repotting it. Sucks that its in flower too might stunt her in the long run. Some root stimulator and some light nutes would do her till she bounces back. GL
 
U guys are great! Ummm... Yes the soil is time released. I thought I could get away with it since only 25% is soil. I saw the roots when I decided, thanks to RIU members, to re-pot. Yes as a matter of fact, the 1st watering after the re-application was done with a garden hose. I'm glad u all think it's mostly shock/nute burn. I'll be doing a soil test shortly. It was mostly an experiment, since indoor is a no go, and we did better back in the day under what I know now to be less than optimal conditions. But yeah, thanks everyone.
