My plants are dead

I'm still skeptical about using nutrients. I've been using a fraction of the recommended use on my clone for a few days now, my biggest fear is a nute burn. Good luck with those plants, hopefully they can recover. Is there anything on them healthy enough to clone maybe?
no such thing as nute burn

yeah bro you fucked up ! when you start feeding your plants for the first time you introduce it with 1/4 of the recommened dose to get ur plants use to it first ! depending on your soil it might have nutes in it . In which case you don't add anything for 30 days ! my boy did exactly what you did ! SMH ! you guys are listening to the wrong people ! If you don't know just wait and do what you know ! Good luck !

Sorry to hear about your plants. I only use 1/2 the strength, maybe half of a tablespoon diluted in a gallon or two of water-- then I water my plants once a week with that strength. The second water of the week I do not put nutrients in the water. I see so many people burning their plants with nutrients. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Djackone....you said your friend did the exact same thing.....did he flush them and bring them back to health? or did he just rip them out and start over? because as of now we are trying to bring them back by flushing them with water and honestly........so far so good. *knocks on wood* the are not so droopy anymore, and slowly starting to be more sturdy. but we started germinating 6 more seeds just in case because if they die well just start fresh, but if they do come back to life. *crosses fingers* we have another room with the MH light set up so we will have a vegging room and a flowering room.



I hope none of this happens to anyone else. learn from my dumb mistake. Thank you for the feedback, and all the bad names you called me lmao

you would have been ok if you had mixed the 4 tsp with 4 gallons of water and just gave them the amount of water they needed. i would have put only a couple drops in the little water bottle.

We learn from our mistakes....even horrible horrible ones such as this one. I have used Nutrients all 4 other times I harvested and never EVER had a problem, but this time using the tiger bloom, I did. I'm not blaming the product for the problem, it was clearly my stupidity but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.


.....so if these plants die, looks like I'm f*****. lmao

That sucks man, you've had a enough people tell about the ratio of nutes to use so I'll just say that I hope flushing does the trick. They're pretty resilient plants so hopefully they'll bounce back. Worst case the plants don't make it, but you've gained some valuable knowledge-- and will probably never make that mistake again! Good luck bud, cheers.

Thanks everyone, I was kind of wondering if there was anyone out there that could post like examples or a step by step process for the FOX Farm Tiger Bloom Nutrients so that idiots like myself or anyone else that makes a mistake like this.....wont make the mistake, and can use this as a refrence for when they need to add the Nutrients to there plants. Like say they used like I did a typical water bottle (12oz) how much of the tiger bloom would they put mixed in with the water for each plant. If no one responds its all good,I'll basically take that as a middle finger hhahahha

Flush them really well and they will probably recover. You will need to run about 20 gallons of water through each of them to remove the nutes. Dang, I hate it but this is really a noob mistake. I thought everyone knew that the directions mean "to a gallon of water". Don't feel too bad; it happens to everyone. Growing is not easy and you will no doubt kill a lot more plants. Just try to learn from the mistakes and not make the same ones over and over. :)

Well the thing is that this isn't my first time growing. Right now I've harvested 4 successful times, used nutes each time too. It is a noob mistake but in the end....it was just a mistake.
