Help - Claw leaves due to excess N

Hello, so I've been growing Mexican Airlines by Fast Buds, Crystal Meth by Fast Buds and Tutanhamon by Pyramid Seeds

In Mill's DNA soil + cork which is a soil that already comes with nutrients and the manufacturer suggests no need for nutes for 1 month.

So I fed no nutes during veg and started light feeding nutes 2 weeks ago (today they start their 3rd week flowering) and I made the mistake of using a product by Mill's which was supposed to be used only for the veg phase and that contains a lot of Nitrogen and I've been feeding this product for their 2 first weeks of flowering.

All these auto plants should be harvested by mid May.


All of my plants actually look very healthy BUT Crystal Meth has many claw leaves especially near the buds and they have completely stopped growing>

How should I address this problem?

Should I stop feeding nutes to this plant? Should I only feed PK? Should I only use water? Should I flush it?, should I not water it at all?


Also, like I said, the other plants look very healthy and growing fast but since I had been using this Nitrogen product which was not supposed to be used, should I stop feeding them any Nitrogen for a week just in case, or something?

For the record,

Mill's Basis A&B are to be used together during veg and flowering

A is NPK 3-0-1
B is NPK 0-4-3

START-R is the product I was not supposed to use during flowering and it's NPK 5-0-0.5

Feed with plain PH water for the next watering and then restart your nute schedule on the next watering at 1/2 recommended strength.

^^^ What he said, for all plants cos the others might be a bit more resilient if their not showing symptoms yet but that could change fast.

Fah!

Skip a feeding and use water.
Restart with the proper nutrients at 100%!!!! DO NOT REDUCE nutrients at restart!!!!!

Actually, your high N use that early was NOT really that much of a problem and may just help out down the road a bit! Most nutrient makers reduce the N too much at the flip/increase the P&K too much at the flip.......

Your plants did not "stop" growing either.......You "feel" that way because your nervous about the mistake!

They'll do just fine - be patient!

I don't know, the CM did stop growing leaves and the fan leaves where buds are growing were the most affected and haven't grown, only the stalk has grown a lot, probably to look for light with the competing Mexican Airlines.

The top of the CM does look healthy though

This is the way the CM is looking with the fan leaves growth at a stop

Compared to the Mexican Airlines (Front) and CM (far left), is this due to the N problem or genetics?:

hell them look fine,nit in first two weeks of flower helps on the stretch in my opinion,some one above mentioned some of this above,same strain doesnt mean they will all be the same,the other like what your doing,this one doesnt,put a piece of tape on pot and feed this one a little lower till it comes around,stretch could go 4 weeks and more depending,they look great though man,if you have to dont drop feed and swing your ph a bit,hope this helps

Thanks, I don't have a PH meter nor PH UP or Down, so I'm crossing fingers I can manage to have good results without checking PH, I'm using top of the line Mill's DNA nutes and soil which I got for free.

According to public information, the PH of tap water in this city is 7.6

Soil self pH's..

No growth problem from the N!!!! Does NOT slow growth!

Now then. Different strains, grow in different patterns, at differing rates. Even the same strain from seeds can grow differently from one another. Your being hyper vigilant and the plants are still in the stretch/just coming out of it....They HAVE been growing! CALM down and carry on!

Feed the way I told you to.....Do not reduce anything - That SURE won't speed anything up.
