I am growing a Barneys Farm LSD strain in FFOF soil with fox farm nutes. the plant is 5 weeks from sprout and 2 weeks from topping. ever since the 2nd week started the plant has had some nasty looking yellowish-green blotches all over and eventually started developing ugly deformed leaves. I first thought it was from giving it the Fox Farm "Big Bloom" as recomended in week 1. But as I adjusted the nutrients I haven't seen a healthy looking leaf since. I keep it under a 400w hps on a 18/6 light schedule. I also use tap water. I tried epsom salt on a couple waterings to no success. It is starting to look lifeless and is falling behind in terms of height, girth, and foliar output. I will post some pics. please help me save my plant.

Here is a plant of the same exact strain under the same conditions and topped at the same time. This is clearly growing a lot faster and healthier than my other LSD plant

run like 2 gallons of plain water thru your pots.. if it is overfed it will "wash" out excess nutes that could be building up in the soil. and if thats not the problem it wont hurt them a bit

Hey when u flush u should put 3 times the pot size of water. Let it sit with the bottoms off in ur bathtub. Let it run out then add a mild nute solution through. Also flush with warm water. If u have no or minimal nutes in the soil mix left u will b deficient in a week or 2. It could b a ph issue as well. Ps get subcools super soil recipe follow 2 a t. And just add water. Much easier cheaper and makes a rookie an equal to most. Good genetic selection, I've got their vanilla kush. Try tga, alphakronic, Cali con, or other American breeders, I've always got better genes from USA and Canada than Amsterdam. Peace

It may be too early to tell if this worked, but I woke up this morning and looked at my plant. Fortunately it looks like it has the most life it has had in a couple of weeks. Hopefully it stays this way.

Don't worry about your tap water at this point, get your feeding schedule on track when she is growing at a good rate daily without seeing any overfeeding. Remember you can always give em more food but if you give them too much sometime there is no goin back. And I know this sounds cliche but just because you give them more food doesn't mean their gonna grow any faster

ya warm water has a higher ppm so technically you wanna use cold water that has sat at room temp for a while.. Do you really think he is gonna go out and make his own soil this being his first grow? Come on man, let him learn one thing at a time or the shit will get real confusing for him. Otherwise your plant looks good and hopefully she regains health and you get lots of tasty nugs..good luck
