ya the main problem was they where planted in mg soil mix.. i didnt know better at the time and then they where given mg nutes ontop of the soil.. :( i flusehd 2 times last week.. and have been just foiler feeding since.. lastnite was the watering they have needed in 8 days and i woke up to them looking like that.. im guessing that since the soil is time release the water made more nutes availible? im going to my parents garding and getting so nice black earth and doing a mass transplant.. 80 plants will take forever.. but its the best i can think off and at least ill be rid of that dam mg soil..... thanks guys for the help!!

Yeah, def. nute burn. You could have done it in MG soil, but not with MG soil + MG nutes this early in the game. Also some of the stuff in the MG soil, such as the micro nutrients, is designed to last 16-18 months. The regular fertilizer in the soil is supposed to last 4-6 months. Usually flushing heavily just releases more nutrients.

I would either use MG as MG recommends and how they designed it to be used or transplant it into another medium so you can grow using methods your more familiar with. There's lots of good info on MG's website, just have to search around a bit.

ude im not familer with any growing.... hahah this is my first grow ever.. i made a ton of mistakes actually prolly every mistake a person can make.. i have 80 plants left and want to save asmany as i can.. would regular organic garden soil be good for them? its from a graden that been worked for about 100 years + the soil is black black black and only type of fert used was compost and manuer? the garden has been grassed over for about 3 years would that matter?

I've been growing for years and I still run into problems here and there. Normally it's my over reaction that does the most damage. Your garden soil sounds good. I've dug holes and put plants right into the ground with just a little potting mix to fill in the sides and they do great. In a container it might not be as good, but I'm sure you could simply amend it with perlite and coir. If you live in an area with a Home Depot or Walmart, go to their garden center and pick up a $5 soil test kit. It will give you a rough idea of what your soil has and what its missing (if anything).

ya i was thining of mixing in some vermiculite as i have a few bags, and puitting a layer of pelite near the bottom of the pot, i have nutes on hand so in my mind it would be easier to treat deficiencys then toxicity? also there gonna be planted outside in about 25 days anyway
