dank,
the next time you water just give it epsom and water nothing else It.
you have to give the plant time to use the nutes that you already have given it.
and it wont stunt your growth, unless you dont figure out what the problem is. If you give your plant more nutes and the problem is that your over feeding your plant, is giveing more nutes to a plant that is already over feed.
get my point. do one thing at a time so you can figure out the problem.
and also give you plant a little tap water some times , tap water contains trace elements that can help your plants. sometime filtered water, all the trace elements is filtered out. then you have to supply those to your plant to thrive. and get some super thrive give them a couple drops per gal. Its basicly vit. b-complex and itll help the plant to recover from sick ness.
peace

tsp. per gal. change to feed- water/carb-water -feed for your watering this will give the plant a small flush inbetween feedings. adjust ph to 5.5-6.5 going in and your run off should be under 6.5. salt build up is bad yes but every thing that your feeding to you plant is salts ITs just maintaining a balance in short.
you should see some resualts in a few days.

Did you really just ask him to +rep you? I am really drunk right now but telling someone to rep you is just fucking tacky. Rep is earned never just given.

dank I think that you got it,
1 teaspoon per gal. ( is kinda lite on Epsom but recommend going easy at first)
where your at right now. the next time you water, ph 5.5-6.5 Epsom@ 1 teaspoon, the next watering after that will be ph 5.5-6.5 only, the third watering will be a feeding give your liq. karma 1/4 strength and any other amendments.
then follow water- water-feed this will let the plant use the nutes. that you gave it. watering two times in between feedings will keep the roots clear of salt build up. After your problem is fixed you can use a watering to add carbs.
And also make shure when going into bloom that you have good air flow, and shake you plants at least one time a day.
peace Thank you for the reps bro.

the epsom salts add trace minerals to your soil. and yes i recomend 1/4 nutes the next watering. then plain water if your problem goes away no epsom, if there is a problem with your plants add the salts.
basicly what your tring to do is add the nutes,epsom,carbs. when your plant needs them, if your always adding nutes in to your soil, the nutes will build up on your roots and youll have lock out. then your plant wont grow or produce.
when you add nutes. your replaceing the nutes in the soil that the plant has used.
and your welcome, if it wasent for riu. id still have a lot of problems.
I posted my latest harvest of one plant ill post the link below.
peace and good luck

How often do you flush these plants my advice would be flush them and lower the feed scedual a tad.some of the outer yellowing is heat stress.When you flush them leave out the epsom salt,why would you wanna be putting this into the plants i know in some case's it is a good thing but i personaly don't like the idea of putting and salty based product into the plants flush with normal tap water ph it to around 5.0/5.5 and with in a week or so the plant will pick up.

Absolute rubbish,don't answer the guy if the answer is a load of crap even if the water was realy hard this kind of damage would not have been caused.

dank,
If i were you id take those majorly deformed fan leaves off. this will help the plant concentrate on growing, rather than mending the sick leaves.
If the leave has a good amount of good green surface leave it be. but from what i see the most of them could be pulled.
for the link its in harvesting and curing under thanks riu.
and again thanks for the props.
one thing that youll find out while growing, their is a million and one ways to grow. and very few people grow in the same way. or agree in the same manner on how to fix plant problems. my methodology is.
cannabis is a weed, it can and will grow anywhere, what were doing as cultivators of cannabis. is controlling the necessary conditions to meet our needs, ie; potency, resin, yield, etc. Time is your best friend when it comes to growing. I like to do one thing at a time to see if it helps my plants, thats where the time issue comes to play. all the expert growers on riu have grown for 20+ years and went threw the same thing that me and you are.
peace and good luck
