IMG_0295.jpgIMG_0303.jpgIMG_0302.jpgIMG_0296.jpgIMG_0300.jpgIMG_0297.jpgIMG_0305.jpgthis is my 6 week old "miniature" plant its outdoors originally from bagseed and gets all day sunlight from about 630 til about 730.its grown in straight all purpose potting mix and has had light doses of THRIVE soluble nutes for the last 3 weeks .then yesterday i saw this had happened to my plant??so i gave it a full strength hit of the THRIVE the next morning.

any ideas on what has happened and what i can do to help, its starting to works it way to the top!!

replies appreciated:leaf:

if you started giving light doses and this happened you would have been better to stop giving nutes altogether, save the risk of nute-burn. But by giving it more you may have sealed its fate, although it still looks like it is hanging in there, good luck.

When in doubt, do nothing....

i think it is due to lack of N?? also this only appeared after about the 3rd week of me giving it nutes??

The burned leaf tip would indicate N burn. The yellowing of one of the original 3 finger leaves means nothing really. Hence, leave it alone.

As sputniknz said : "When in doubt, do nothing...."

Perhaps get it more light. It's pretty small for 6 weeks.

what should i do about the N burn flushing it with luke warm water apparently helps ??.also it had a pretty rough start when it ws younger such as slight deformities, stunted growth.

hes in W.A. guys, its on the back of a freakin desert, suffice to say ITS HOT!....

its gotta be something else.... i remember hearing that N deficiency is visible by light green colors, but im newbie, so im probably wrong. Also, your pot looks a bit small, maybe plant into new bigger pot with some tastier soil. Try foliar spray with a light organic fert tea as another option. dunno dude im guessing..... ive got probs with my babies at the moment, the look healthy but leaves are curling at the ends and look a bit droopy.

wide swings in temp and humidity are stressful is all i know...if you wouldn't mind spending the night out side buck naked with no cover for yourself with your feet jammed into dirt, then disregard...

i medicated to the gills. haha
plus i have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about.

just curious how can you tell??for future growing.

Click to expand...
well it was ok till you gave it nutes, just easiest option first mate, flush with fresh water,and lay of the nutes a bit.

because you said you been feeding them since they were 3 weeks old
the way the leaves are dying from the bottom up....roots to top.
That ain't natural.
plus the way the leaves are starting to curl/twist, and soft middles....
...and the lack of stems reaching out and tight clusters.
i think...at least that's my knee jerk reaction.

water is for flushing...lots of it...overwatering will only happen due to frequency of watering typically and not due to quantity at one sitting.


EDIT:
Obligatory...
test your ph

Dude are you using time release nutrients?? Like miracle grow? BIG NO-NO!! Does it say feeds plants up to three months or some b.s. like that? Use organic soil and forget that problem. Also i think you may be over watering , which potentates nute burn in time release nutrient potting soils.
