4 days without water

ColonelForbin1990started grow question 4y ago

I had to leave for 4 days this past week. Gave both plants H2O before leaving but I came back and one of my plants has some ugly yellow and brown leaves. Do I need to do anything to correct this or just get back to my routine feedings?

This isn't just a watering problem... you've got definite signs of nitrogen toxicity so my recommendation is that you flush... Check the PH of your runoff as you do this to make sure you're getting it to end up between 6.0 and 6.5... then, when you feed, cut your nutes in half for the first go-round... if there has been any lockout, the plant will need a gentle reintroduction to the nutes. btw... you don't tell us what amount of nutes your giving them... if you're still giving them grow nutes, back off on them and stop them next week... they usually contain far too much nitrogen for the flowering stage! Good luck! Keep us posted!

@GrowingGrannie disagree would be a better word than argue. You are entitled to your opinions.

Going to argue a bit with FreeCain here... if this had been the result of "earlier issues" you would have seen some damage before you left for your 4 days. I'm also a bit skeptical of his/her knowledge since he doesn't even have one diary which we can look at to see how successful a grower s/he is... Please... This is CLASSIC nitrogen toxicity and if not corrected will only get worse... it starts at the lower leaves and then moves upward to consume the whole plant... Please read what I've said below...

Routine feeding is the way to go. Just showing the previous damage on the leaves from your earlier issues. Best of luck the rest of the grow.

Yellowing Leaves? Nutrient deficiency? Fixable?Is this a nutrient deficiency? I'm 3 weeks into flowering. 2 or 3 weeks away from harvest. I'm using Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max. Is it an issue that can be fixed? Or do I just need to get it right next time?

Seedling Light-burn or Toxicity Hi growers! Is this Light Burn, or nutrient toxicity from nutrient dense soil? 2 Mars Hydro TS600 lights at 27" from seedling. PH 6.3 misting soil - RH is 75-80%. - Temp is 77F No light meter, so I estimate PPFD is in acceptable range despite using 2 lights in 2x2 tent.
