Surplus or deficiency?

PootPootstarted grow question a year ago

Can't tell if there's a surplus of nutrients or a shortage of potassium? One plant looks like nitrogen burn and the other two look like theyre maybe a little k deficient. Was thinking of chilling out on the feed on the burnt one and just feeding micro to the other two. Thoughts?

Your feeding ratio is off. Flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3. So way less nitrogen and phosphorus and potassium should be about 75 percent of her feed for bulking. Current you have too much nitrogen and have nitrogen toxicity signs starting to show.

Waaaaaaaaay over fed and suffering from growing at 24/0 too. All cannabis plants NEED "sleep" for a correctly functioning metabolism......18/6 is optimal. A plant with an incorrectly functioning metabolism will never grow or produce to the best of its ability. Remember too, in soil it is a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed..........so that the plants are only getting fed every 7-10 days or so, not every time you irrigate.

Nutrient burn/Lockout? PH Low So 1 of my plants is having a hard time in my low PH Soil I'm seeing the start of brown tips on newer leaf growth. I was wondering if I should water frequently and keep the soil more wet with higher PH water or let it dry out and slow the nute uptake? and risk high PH at roots?

overnight yellow leaves with brown spots These leaves (about halfway up on #1) turned yellow with brown spots overnight. I didn't check the soil before giving it nutrients two nights ago so I was wondering if it has to do with overfeeding. The soil is damp and kinda packed together. Any idea what's going on?
