Once you burn a plant with nutes can it be saved

I see one of my PCK is looking kinda like she got too much. I only use 1/4 a teaspoon per gallon of big bloom but her larger fan leaves look curled and brittle. I’m 4 weeks in. Can she be saved?

Hours are through the hour glass. If sensitive and this nonchalant ? Flush with distilled till you get on it. Best wishes.
I’m not sure if burnt. The other two look good but I remember giving a lot of water to this ones soil. I have since watered. It’s luckily just the larger fan leaves that look crispy. I’m already in bed and my room is not connected to the house. I know it sounds bad but it wasn’t as bad as it sounds

Hence pics please. But reacting to a bigger problem than presented. All good. Get some sleep. Then get those pics. Hope we can help. LOL.

Peace.

If it is burn, You can save it, but not reverse damage done. I recently fried and locked out a gg#4 auto. It went from a lush green plant to yellow in a week. Tips turned to dust.. haven't been able to get the green back, but new growth is dark now. The plant was four weeks into flower. It stunted for a week and then started stacking calyx like mad again.

This was it on April 22

It was savage, and got worse. It stalled for a few days and pistils rapidly browned . I didn't do much though. Flushed with buffered (7 as medium was acidic at 5.2) half strength nutes until runoff was down. Took about 1.5-2 gal into a 3 gal pot for runoff to go from 2000ppm to 600ppm.

Within a few days, new calyx growth was rapid. This is it now.

Luckily at a young age, your plant should have plenty of time to recover and grow new fan leaves. Just have to figure out if it's burn, lockout or something else first. I probably got a bit ahead of myself.

Those dark spots make me think bugs but you say you others are good. 4 weeks into bloom, not growing any more fan leaves at this point.
If they're not autos, start new seeds now while you susing out whats wrong now, just in case. You would probably have to start new in the future anyway and if you start them now, they'd be closer to maturity down the road when they go into bloom one day. Good luck.

A lot of the other plants that I have which are different strains have healthy buds but yellowing leaves which are lime green. I thought maybe nitrogen deficiency or something. Am I wrong?

It depends. It could be nitrogen, but why? Example, if the plant is getting more potassium and phosphorus and the NPK balance is off (common in flower if PK boosts are used too often or at the wrong time) it can speed up the plants metabolism and the plant can't keep up with nitrogen demand. Since nitrogen is mobile, the plant will prioritise the flower and draw nitrogen from the leaves. That combined with most flower nutes dialling down on nitrogen you can get a sudden imbalance.

Some times it's just genetics though as well. I have found it happens to me more indoors than outdoors.

I’m wondering if using fox farms Beastie Bloomz alone without the liq ferts they suggest is the culprit. It has no nitrogen.

I thought that was only for hydro. I’m doing soil and just following the directions on the bottle and cutting them in half.
pH is less important in soil but if I was doing soil, which I never have I'd still aim for 6.5 pH. EC/ppm is still important in soil as you want to know the strength of your feed you are giving to your plants.

You don't necessarily need to pH in soil but only with straight up organics and I'm not talking about from a bag. If you're using synthetic nutes this is not organic.

Not to offend here but I see multiple sad plants experiencing pretty serious clawing which is usually excess nitrogen or over watering/too much moisture held in the soil and it's not drying out enough before you water. It's hard for me to say just off of the info provided and pictures. The twisting looks like too much water, but the crispy leaves pointing up around the edges suggests too much N.

As for the crispy yellow it looks like possible nutrient uptake issue which happens if your pH is whack and/or excessive nutrients.
You want to know your pH and look at your medium and nutrients, and perhaps rethink it.
