So I have apparently loved this plant too much. She hasn't grown in weeks and I'm getting GH Flora Kleen flush-formula tomorrow. How should I proceed with the cleansing process? The plant stopped growing @ about 2 wks in. ... some of the leaves are curled up-DSCN0898.JPG (prolly form over-feeding).DSCN0897.JPG I am anxious to try the Flora-Kleen on my poor plant. Heard it works well-

I don't think you need a flush suplement. I've over-fed. Just feed water only next time with 50% runoff.

My plant look terrible and hasn't grown in 2 wks. I've been using h2o to "flush" lightly, and now her leaves are going yellow. I hear this strain barely needs anything. I've definitely over-fertilized her. Getting the flora-kleen today. It will come in handy anyway, since I'm going to use it as my final-flush, for all my plants - 1 week before harvest (as General Hydro recommends). :leaf:

This looks like pH problems. If you've been flushing for two weeks and still gotten no new growth, it's time to try something else.

Are you using cal mag? What is your pH of intake and runoff? What kind of media? What did you amend this and when did you last transplant? What are your canopy temperatures in light/dark?

She may benefit from a foliar Epsom salt spray. Mg Deficiency can cause multiple deficiencies, and can Often be the result of nutrient lockout. You need to find why it's locked out. Is there too little to be absorbed, or too much? More info please :)

GH is for hydro, not soil. (It will work, just not optimal for soil.). You don't need to flush prior to harvest unless you've been overfeeding. Feeding half-strength the last feeding or two is the most you'd need to do. Maybe water only.

Flush supplements are just sugar. Probably won't hurt. But, it would be interesting if you did a harvest with and without to see if you notice a difference.

If you've been feeding water only for two weeks, I don't think it's nute lockout due to overfeeding, it's general deficiency. The sugar from the flush supplement may boost the soil microbes to make nutrients available to the plant, but at this point I don't believe the sugar will release any nutrients from the soil. There shouldn't be much left.

Thanks guys.. I'm really fretting over this plant. ALL MY OTHER PLANTS IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT ARE THRIVING. Same - everything. This plant must need only the basics (not much care, at all), and I really must have over fed her. Grown in home-made compost, fed fish-emulsion (i think i gave her TOO MUCH). Gave her a dose of Flora Kleen last night, till run-off. Her top growth is.. very WEIRD. Single bladed leaves, which are VERY LIGHT GREEN in the middle.. then Normal (dark) green at the ends and at the base. This is the only thing she is growing. No calyxes, no fucking resin. Grrrrrrr.... IDK what to do with this plant. My CSSH is growing right beside her (same nutes, etc) and this BITCH IS A POWERHOUSE!!!!!!!! I can barely contain the growth on this one. So, back to my poor Hindu-Kush... should I just transplant her???

Hindu Kush is a light feeder, but a cal-mag whore. Keep this in mind, but don't over do the cal-mag. It will take 3 days + to notice anything from any changes you make.

You may want to just kill it, or take some clones and try again later if you want to save the genetics? Possibly Re-veg it. You sure you don't have any light leaking on it? Weird that she's only growing leaves in flower.... maybe bad genetics or a mutation happened from your fish express? lol.

Also, how long have you been flushing?
