Nutrient burn?

Happyjack42
Happyjack42started grow question 2 years ago
Hello I have one plant with yellowing leaves that are also curling downward. Only one plant of 6 has this problem, I suspect maybe this one is just sensitive to the nutrient rich soil? I am using fox farm happy frog and have added no other fertilizer. What to do, flush all?

Yes it looks like you have a nitrogen toxicity(dark green leaves, major clawing). Happy Farms has an npk of 5-7-3 which is good for veg, but has to much nitrogen for flower( shoot for a NPK of 1-2-3 in flower ). Plants eat differently depending on there environment and the strain. Looks like this batch was not eating as much as your last grow and still have to much nitrogen for the stage they are at. I would do a flush to try to get the last bit of nutrients out so you can start to control the NPK and get more K in without being locked out. Burnt tips that are straight is a K def, tips that curl up is nuturent burn One thing that will help is getting your heat down and keeping your humidity at 60.***only keep it this high early flower,(all white hairs) Mid-late flower you will risk rot. This will reduce the amount of water that is transpired which will lower the amount of food that is being taken in. It will not balance your NPK though. If you can shoot for temp between 22C(71F) and 25C(77F). Keep it like this for the next few weeks and she will eat less and hopefully the toxicity will stop. They should be exhausting the food soon so you will be back in control.

What @Chow_13 said! Understand that each plant can/may respond differently to exactly the same conditions/nutrients as their sisters do... this one IS... Good luck...

In some of your pictures, the leaves are curling upwards with yellow showing up on the outside. That's a sign of heat stress and under-watering. A good way to flush your medium if you think you overfeed it is to keep watering it. That is, if the nutrient burn isn't bad. Another way is to remove it from the current soil and transplant it in new stuff. But, I say just keep watering it out. I hope this helps. Good luck!
