Soooo

I guess I made my supersoil to hot. Or mabey I am just puting to much in the pot and my plants burned. It seems to much nitrogen as the leaves ate dark green. Could this be from to much supersoil in the pot with the regular soil? I filled it half full. I also put in around 30 - 40 pounds of fresh worm castings in this batch which is about double the amount called for in the 1/3 batch I made.

Should I just dilute it with more roots as I go. Like mabey just fill the pot 1/4 with supersoil them put in equal amount of roots and mix well....then add my clone in the 1/2 gallon pot and the rest with supersoil?

I also changed to a different brand of high P guano but that should not matter right.

What do you think...hopefully the man Sub might catch this and light the way to greener times..

Peace out

Could be you made it too hot. Could be that your strain is a really light feeder. Could be that you put too much supersoil in the bottom. It's really hard to say.

The most common "burn up" situations that I see from people using supersoil (and I do use supersoil too) is a combination of using too much, not layering in an adequate "buffer zone" of cooler soil, and failing to allow the baby plant sufficient time to have enough root mass before transplanting.

It's not unusual for plants to show a little "excess nitrogen" symptoms at first. dark green leaves..maybe a little 'claw". But when the plant gets going adding mass, the symptoms self correct.

the other thing that helps is watering lightly and near the edges when you first transplant. Small plants in big pots don't need much water. watering lightly around the edge of the pot, encourages the roots to grow sideways to find the water. Water heavily when you transplant, and that water works it's way to the bottom of the pot, and encourages those baby roots to go straight down..into the hot soil.

Yea...I do water this way. This is my third batch of SS and I love it. The ones that did burn were new seeds...sweet tooth and Candy Kush. The powerplant that I have been growing did the same thing also. I just transplanted again today 2 plants and made the pots up 1/4 SS diluted down with Roots organic then the rest plain roots as usual. 5 gallon Smart pots with 1/2 gallon clones that were transplanted. We will see how they do...
