Plants having some issues?Nute burn? Toxicity?

I have one Grapefruit Fly and one Sour Alien going right now, not my first time doing this but each have some weird looking leaves on them. One (Grapefruit) has spots on a couple leaves towards the bottom of the plant and the other (Sour) has was looks like Nute burn as the edges of the leaves are yellowing and dying.

I use bottled water with half of the recommended nutrients

Any help is appreciated thanks

maybe cut down on the nutes, then work your way up again?

Do you add nutes every time you water? Also, what nutrients are you using?

what soil mix.. if its ffof .. you dont need veg nutes for about a month.. I always start at about a 1/4 strength and work my way up ..

ive never had ffof burn my plants but I also dont feed for about 3 weeks or so when I use it.. I also mix in perlite and happy frog.. Ive cloned straight into ffof .. so I dont think its that "hot".. but if you feed too much also.. then ya it will burn em!

Bottled water good, nutes bad, in those pots give them a while, no matter what i think its worth a good flush to bring pH back up and lower the ppm of the nutes in soil. Bottom leaves look calcium deficient and top pic looks pH. Just my guess but it still leads to overdoing nutes, plants still look small in those pots, are the roots poking outa the drainage hole much? What pH and ppm is the bottled water? Also what make, very few are bad for plants, one or two are. I have seen one bad bottled water in america but never since.

Using sparkletts bottled water with Humboldt Nutrients. They're clones that I put straight into flower (2nd week) after about 4 days of veg (3rd time doing it this way I don't use alot so I just go to straight to flower ) Right now they're getting half of the recommended amount of nutrients for the second week of flowering.
Right now both are getting
GROW (1/8 teaspoon per liter)
MICRO (1/8 teaspoon per liter)
BLOOM (1/4 teaspoon per liter)
HONEY (1/8 teaspoon per liter)
ROOTS (one drop per liter)

I water 1/4 liter per plant every 3 days and with nutes (honey once a week)

So if I'm hearing you guys right just use straight water for the next week or so? Other than the two leaves in the pics both plants look really healthy. Thanks for the advice


Also using Fox farm organic potting soil

priest, i had the same problem, i flushed the medium and just watered. they will pick up and then start looking a bit unhealthy again, once they look unhealthy again slowly add nutes. (and in my opinion only!!!, i would pluck the crap looking leaves off as they wont recover and they plants uses much needed energy to try and fix the crap leaves). and dont forget to keep an eye on your pH.


good luck

A lot of nutes for them small plants and watering every three days, dose the soil still dry in between waterings and the bottom of the pot as well?

Also, this is a minor issue, but any time you have a leaf that's touching the soil and there's no simple way to keep it off, it's best to trim it, becomes a potential site for mold/disease due to the moisture/general content of the soil that it could then pass to the rest of the plant, in my most humble of opinions.

Yeah I always make sure the soil is pretty dry before I add any more water. It does seem like a lot of nutes I think I'm going to back off in the coming weeks and focus only on the Micro, Bloom, and Honey.

Good point and it also sick too I'll trim it right away

That was a lot of ml of ferts per litre.

Yeah that was the first (and last) time I've ever given all three to them. Just watered them with that cocktail today and gonna give them half a liter of straight water to them tomorrow (flush). Leaving for five days tomorrow so hopefully that works out

Half a litre is not much of a flush either but i think you know what you are doing. Flush and await results.

The list of nutrients looks like Rocket Fuel Formula

Some real high octane stuff

Do you really need 23 or whatever it is nutrients
