First of all, let me start by saying that I have been sitting at the computer reading for hours, and still don't know what to do. Or maybe I know what to do - just need to know how long.
I'm a first time grower with two flowering WW's in their 8th week of flowering. They were doing great and putting on big, fat colas, when, after much reading on the subject, I finally decided to trim away some large light blocking fan leaves in Week 6. After a few days, they still looked fine and as if they hadn't suffered any stress because of the trimming. Then, when I read on RIU about Liquid Koolbloom (even though I had read it was way late in the game to start adding Liquid Koolbloom), I put about 150-200 ppm. of Koolbloom. Well, several days later, my beautiful girls' leaves are burned -droopy, dry and flimsy feeling - not like they were before. And as far as the colas go, it's like all tric production has ground to a halt.
I immediately started flushing them with plain phd water and continued to flush them for two days, after which my husband decided they were starving and that was why the colas weren't growing, so he returned the nute solution to the previous levels. Now, it's been a few days and I don't see them looking any better, worse, in fact! All this is happening at what IMHO is the most crucial time in their lives! My question for anyone with the patience to entertain it is this: How long does it take to completely flush out a nute burn, and when should we start giving them nutes again? When we do start back up with the nutes, should we include the LKB? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, as I feel my plants are going downhill fast and they were so beautiful! Please help!
