Ok, started from seeds 2 months ago. Potted in MG Organic shit. After poor advice from local hydro shop, plants made it through mild nute burn. 1/4 BioGrow. Using tap. Comes out at 7.5-8.0 ph.Added to water 10ml Apple cider vinegar to lower Ph to 6.4. 5ml hydrogen Peroxide Per gallon.Growth has slowed the last 2 or 3 weeks. 5 days ago i flushed all plants heavily potted in MG Organic. 2 days ago i topped the 2 larger plants quite low, maybe 2 inches. Problem has been ongoing for about 3 weeks. According to provider of seed "Strawberry Cough" strain that is planted in rock wool cubes uses same water with Root Juice added and has no problems. Maybe Ph Lockout, or soil not flushed enough? Please help.

man it looks like leftover results of the nut burn, give em time and watch the new leaves, the old ones won't repaire themselves... and feed them fukd soil mix ones 1/2 the normal nutz , water the nutz down

i had a worse reaction with using peat moss and perlite off the advice of a friend...... my plants got massive worse then that, and still recovering, flushed majore and still only feeding water to em, 2 weeks now..... this pic shows few problem one with a dif healthy batch...:joint:

When leaves curl down like that it's from one thing and one thing only, TOO MUCH NUTRIENTS.

Does MG organic contain nutrients already like other MG soil? IF so flusing is the last thing you should do, it makes the problem worse.


Even if it says it doesn't I wouldn't trust what the bag says, back off the nutrients until the leaves no longer curl and burn like that, and when all new growth is healthy then gradually try to add nutes.

Never use any substitute for PH down, apple vinegar could be doing all sorts of bad things in the soil. I also wouldn't be using H202, only if there's a reason for it and I don't see your reason.


Lastly you didn't mention it but I am pretty sure I see tiny spots on the leaves from spider mites and it looks like you have a lot of them already, soon they'll be out of control if you don't take action now.

I want to know more about the underground grow area, did you dig that out?

i did dig out the underground. It was horrid. No, no spider mites though. My girls if anything, they are free of pest. The only reason im confident in that is because im in there 8 to 10 times a day looking closely at my ladies, hoping they will grow faster if i watch. lol

I also dont have ventilation going out, but i have fresh air coming in from crawl space, and small heater to keep temp regulated between 72 - 80 , using 3 u-bent flouro 40 wt plus bright effects 300w cfl from lowes with built in ballast. Tap water, but not really hard water.

You can't see spider mites with the naked eye. You could live with millions of spider mites and never see one, you need a magnifying glass and look at the underside of the leaves for super tiny moving things or eggs or anything that shouldn't be there. They're smaller than trichomes.
