Even in flowering certain pot strains like weak nutes. I'd flush and keep the nutes at 25% strength. If your plant wants more nutrients it will let u know.

Do you have any pics? Are you sure it's nute burn? How big are your plants? What kind of soil did you use? Is it possible it's a time release soil?

I'm using Fox Farm right now and I add 4 tablespoons per gallon of Big Bloom. It's a very mild fertilizer.

Well for example if I keep my plants at 25% strength and they stop getting new growth, or they look like their suffering then I will increase slightly and watch for results. Usually they will perk up within 3 days. If u give them too much they will look worse or even die. The plants speak their own language and getting to understand them takes practice.

Yup, This is what I was thinking. Probably Miracle Gro 5 or so weeks into flowering. Same thing happend to me and why I have warned people countless times throughout this site. Miracle Gro is a very unpredicatble growing medium. If you are going to use it, you have to be So careful wth your nutes, or else you will burn the shit out of it everytime.

Get Fox Farm Ocean Forest or another good organic soil. IF you are going to sue Fox Farm products, just use the soil too. Get yourself a PH meter. :leaf:

im using ocean forest by fox farm for the soil, like i said 1 tablespoon of each and it burns them, im sick of messing with the fuckin things honestly. im not even flushing them this time, im just gonna use regular water from now on with them, before i got to this site i grew outdoors with no nutes and always had great results with just water i never should of listened to people on this site about nutes

i know i'm a newb, but i think they have a point with the ph. i started my first grow a week ago from clones. the first day fucking with the dyes to find ph pissed me off! I ended up getting a milwaukee ph51 waterproof digital ph meter for $70 and even that's a little scetchy! (calibration problems) my buddy has a ridiculous setup and has been doing it for years. he said to get an automatic calibration digital ph meter. i feel if i get that on the next grow, along with the fox farm setup, these guys are right. definitely don't give up. why are so many people confident with this shit. just gotta keep fucking with it. am i right?

True, I also use Fox Farm it does it's job really well, and your obviously doing something wrong, I really don't think it's the nutes it has to be something else. Do you have any pics?

are things otherwise going well with your grow? if they are, just give em less nutes, plants only use what they need not what the side of the bottle says.

its not what they can handle its the ammount of food they need to grow given the conditions they are in, a plant flowering under a 600hps will grow faster and bigger then a plant flowering under one 2700k cfl so will need more water, co2 and nutes.

the feed was probibly developed in a top quality grow room with ideal conditions that might be hard to replicate in your home.
