recently purchased some plant food and i fed my plants until 3 days later i noticed my plants were looking shit !!

examined everything couldnt find nothing until i spilt some of the food by accident and i noticed it was a slightly diffrent colour to the old one then i realised they have either:

watered it down
made there own
bought a look alike batch of goods

the containers they were in looked the same as the other but i noticed the bottle was a slightly lighter colour of yellow and some of the wrighting was in diffrent font

i mean im not dissing growtech as they are so friendly and helpfull and i wouldnt shop anywhere else and just look out for it in other shops so you don't get scammed as its catch 22 as you can't go into a shop and say this food killed my plants as they have got you for growing so you have to bite the bulllet and start again or carry on.

i mean they almost killed my fucking blueberry skunk i went fucking mental !!!!

just BEWARE so you dont get scammed into killing your own plants

!!!! this is no dis to growtech as they are an amazing comapny that have helped me with my grow mant of times !!!!

peace out and watch for scammers :)

I have 2 bottles of AN Sensi ONE Grow that contain different shaded nutes. Doses of either leave me with the same water EC so clearly the lighter one has not been watered down.
Maybe you just overfed?

nope same instructions on the bottle on each one and the original stuff didnt do anything to the plant and as soon as i start using the new stuff around 2-3 days later i start seeing death and shriveling of leaves trust me i did nothing wrong i followed the instructions exactly !!!

Had you been feeding full strength nutes prior to this? The dosages on most nutrient bottles are often WAY higher than anyone should have to feed a plant. I rarely feed higher than half-strength.

No offense meant, but I don't think you're qualified to make that distinction. I base this off of looking through your "other" grows.
Why don't you give us some info on the grow that you are referencing and we'll try to help? If this grow went anything like the other one you've posted about, you def. overfed. It's the most common problem first time growers will have.

What kind of soil are you using?
Are you still using a single cfl?
How old is your plant and when did you begin feeding?
What kind of nutrients are you using?
I see you grow in a pc case ...what are your temps like in there?
What's your waters pH level?

okay well it was a double tent which had 2 1400w HID and the tent was kept between 70-80
PH was around 6.5-7
used high quality growing canna
plant was 4 weeks when i began giving nutes and 7 when i began giving food which at this time its 2 weeks into flowering

but its over with now and the bud was okay and tasted of blue but it did decrease my yield a substantial amount

i only put this post on here to warn people of scams and simialr stuff

repp to you S@intshredder please rep back :) +++

You could of just said "I grow inside of a computer" instead of making up this whole gem. :lol: It is a damn hilarious read though ...
So even though you're only 2 weeks into flower ...you've harvested and already know your yields? How do you vent your 2 1400w(?) HIDs in a tent? Must have some nice fans.
C'mon, bro at least be honest so someone can actually help you!

dude right this is my 1st grow inside of a pc case and my previous grow which was done inside a tent and thats where the dodgey food thing went on so this time im going without food and just using nutes will that be okay ive never not used foos before ?
but i used a inline fan on a 100mm flex hose.
i know this sounds made up but im really baked and its not my fault if ive slipped up on sommat
anyway dude im off to bed as its 1am over here in the UK peace out bro

:lol: Foosball is the devil.
If you need legit help, hit me up on PM in the morning.
A big key to growing is realizing you f*cked something up, and learning from it. Don't act like someone else f'd up your ish. That's not going to make you a better grower.
And if you have to act like someone else f'd up your ish -- make sure it's a less reputable vendor next time. ;)
:peace:
