I was jus wondering if someone could post me a pic of a plant that has nitrogen over dose or somthing , cuz mine is looking a very very dark green now and i am wondering if it got to much N from the chiken manure i was using.

Also my compost tea i feed once in a while is most likely full of N as it is all plant matter.
it might jus be the way the sun was hitting it or somthing cuz when i take a pic it looks ok but it was looking real dark. lol

usually plants that are suffering from too much nitrogen have that infamous claw look to them.. around the outside of the leaves will tend to want to curl under, indicating too much nitrogen..

i don't really see that happening in your pix..

I find the claw only shows lastly after other symptoms. That pic in the middle of just the single leaf looks like it came from a plant that is fine has plent of n and IMO wouldn't give it anymore

Anymore n and it will start to turn real dark green and look waxy and shiny sometimes get a blueish tinge and then they claw which looks badass but shithouse at the same time

yah, i dig the claw look too, although i know it's not what i'm shooting for, lol.. any yah, they have plenty of n imo as well, idk if i'd call it an overdose though..
just cut back a bit on it... i think n is good in flower as well as veg as it helps to keep leaves healthy.. so many people believe that tons of leaves should yellow and die back in flower, which doesn't have to be the case, something i learned after reading some of uncle ben's threads.. :D

I wish i could get some quano and good stuff liek that.
i am kinda on a zero dollar budget and dont have acces to that kinda quanos and bone meals. Im looking for somthing i can jus gather that has high P and or K value with not to much N.

Then jus brew a little tea with the gathered material.
Is brown sugar ok in stead of mollasas?

Not sure about brown sugar.....I have heard corn syrup. or honey is ok. And paper ashes are a good source of K I think. not sure though.

Raw honey is what I will use the last 2 weeks of flower
to sweeten the buds. Honey inhibits beneficials in the soil that is
why I will use it the last 2 weeks and not before. Honey
lends floral properties that other sweeteners do not have.
I tbsp of raw honey also contains about 19 grams of carbs.

brown sugar is just cane/beet sugar dyed with a little bit of molasses. i'm not saying use it, just what it is.
