Nitrogen toxicity

[Minuteman419]

Hey RIU crew. Recently noticed a nitrogen toxicity issue making itself clear. My first real noob screw up :-/!!

Other than obviously cutting back on the amount of the N given is there anything else I can do to speed up/reassure complete recovery?

I'm really not sure what to cut back on, maybe someone can help?

Base nute is Connesieur by AN. In addition to that I'm using great white(not sure of N level if any in this product), bio root and bio marine by General organics, and lastly ancient earth by AN. I have been giving a full dose of all every other water which ends up being every 10-12 days or so. The plants are only on weeks 1 and 2 of flower however. My runoff ph is 6.5-6.6 consistently. I'm thinking il stop with the great white and see what happens. Its more veg related and probly shouldn't be in the bloom regimen haha...

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks everyone!!

I wouldn't call that nitrogen toxicity, more like a nitrogen warning sign. Just cut your nutes back by about 20% or feed every 3rd watering for a bit and it will be fine. The Great White is myco fungi which is not food.

Okay thanks, do you know if it has any benefits in bloom? Thanks a lot for your time!

Hey Mr. Lexington Ohio. How often do you water?
Your plants are very green, but that droop isn't indicative of too much nitrogen. It's a little hard to see exactly with the light but there doesn't look like any burn. If your were torching them the tops would be browning before the lower leaves were affected. I would guess you might be over watering.

Myco fungi have benefits throughout the life cycle. They basically extend the reach of your roots by a large factor if you can get them to take to your roots. The best time to inoculate with them is when you transplant by putting directly on the root zone. Probably no need to keep applying once you are half way into flower.

Thanks! And although I'm sure the light may make the pics look that way I do know I'm not over watering. I only thought N tox due to all the "claw" leaves I have on the indica phenos. I flushed them really well today w PhD water. Il give them one more "clean" water in a few days or when they need it. Then the next one il get back on my program only with a couple minor changes..thanks for the input everyone happy growing!!

Not to be nit picky, but ow do you know your not over watering? How do you gauge if they need water or not. Or do you follow a schedule for watering?

Quick question I haven't watered my girls in over 2 weeks and the moister meter reads wet when I stick it in the soil near the plant. Theres two plants in each 20 gallon container. Do I water them or wait?

If the soil feels dry or "grainy" about an inch-inch n a half down. If you could see them in person youd see my phone camera sucks!! I've been growing for many years just not a hole lot inside. They don't have a "droop" about them however lightly scattered throughout the garden are "claw" leaves. And maybe 2-3 dozen tips are curled under pretty good, others are pointed strait down at a 90 degree angle. But like I said I flushed them today and feel pretty good they'll bounce rite back. If this is them sick I'm excited to see healthy! Another reason N tox seemed logical is I have 6 plants in there that are day 12 in flower and not throwing any flower signs yet. Wel see, I really think the flush and tlc from here on will lead to good things. One can only hope!

20 gal container? What size light? That's a really large container if the soil feels moist you don't want to water. But 2 weeks, that's a long time.
