Hey everyone I'm into like third grow, so though I've done a good amount of research BUT.......... My first three were very successful and I try to keep it pretty simple and follow directions for ferts, but I think I went over board on nectar and foliar spray once.

I HAVE SIX WEEK OLD COLA'S ON AN ICE PLANT AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BEFORE I SPRAYED IT WITH FERTS INTENDED FOR ANOTHER WW PLANT NEEDING CALMAG+ (GUY AT HYDRO STORE SUGGESTED SPRAY N GROW FOLIAR FEED INSTEAD). ANYWAY, THE TOP LEAVES AROUND THE MAIN COLAS BURNED TO A CRISP BASICALLY AND I JUST TRIMMED THEM. I WAS FEELING WHETHER THE FAN LEAVES SURROUNDING THESE WERE STRONG AND THEY JUST FELL OFF AT VERY VERY LIGHTLY PULLING THEM DOWN.


SHOULD I LET THESE FINISH THE LAST TWO WEEKS BASICALLY ALREADY MANICURED (ICE IS 8 TO 11 WEEKS) CAN IT STILL GROW LIKE THIS OR WILL IT START TO DIE???? ANY EXPERIENCED OPINION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Did you do your foliar feeding with your light on? If so this could have been the problem. Only time i spray my plants is when they are fresh cuttings and thats just plain water. I would let them finish, it is quite a tough plant. Sorry i couldnt have been more help mate, best of luck.

Thanks geo I appreciate the response. I did have the lights on. :shock: oops. Anyone else ever have this problem? I dont want these nugs to continue browning.

I'd leave the colas they will still get light through the fan leaves but you might not get dense buds.

I only use a spray with RO water with rooting clones, my experience you shouldn't use chem sprays unless our plants are serious def of a nutrient or a pest problem.
