Need to Flush! Nitrogen Toxicity.

2 days ago i was told by all of you that my plant was suffering from Nitrogen Toxicity.

Here's an update on what i've done so far: 2 days ago i fed her about 3.5 liters of pH6.5 r.o. water. I've been feeding her only ONCE a week along with its nutrients throughout her lifetime: 1 gallon of r.o water 6.5 and the 5ml master feeding schedule from Roots Organics. Every time during that week i check my soil (roots organics 707), dig my entire index finger, and still notice that the soil is still cold, moist and humid, so i've never fed her pure r.o water. So after doing so 2 days ago, she seemed to improve just a bit, especially on top. But still has some claw like leaves and small brown spots.

I did make a slight uptake on the nutrients during the last feeding. Maybe 1 or 2ml's for the gallon and a half. so it was 7ml's of each nutrient on 1.5gallons.

Also, she is sitting on top of a milk crate that sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket. There is some runoff water in that bucket from its last feeding last Wednesday night. I checked its pH and it reads 7.1. So its a half above the 6.5 i measure it to. Can the soil and dry nutrients be the cause of this pH increase?

Since i did see some improvement after that pure r.o. water feed, can i just feed her about 3 gallons of that instead, let it run off and blast her with wind for the roots not to rot? i am using fabric pots so if i power up with 2 fans the soil can dry out faster.

Or should i just go with 30 freaken' gallons because she IS in a 10gallon pot? However, i cant come up with 30 gallons if r.o water. can i just use 30 gallons of tap water and have it sit out for 24 hours? Would that cause any problems since i have only been feeding her r.o. water?

Sorry for all the newb questions.

But thanks for everything.


Oh yeah, should i prune and take clones off this baby right now, or should i wait til she heals from the slight Nitrogen Toxicity?

They're not bad yet back off the nutes or you'll kill them, less is better. Nice and bushy!

Thanks Nucky. Also, i JUST cut off some Clones. First Time Ever. gonna post some pics in 10min. I think they still need to be cut down more.

I would think that tap water for the flush is fine, just use RO water for the last few gallons and PH them if you need to. Your in soil right?

Here are the Clones i cut off 15min ago. The red lines indicate where i should cut them again. I think they are too long, or should i keep them for the Fan leaves that are in the bottom?

And this is the one i want to top off.

I want to cut where the RED line indicates since i want to Clone it as well.

What do you guys think? Also, these clones drooped down majorly after 15min. I did dip them in Root-Gel by Simple Path. That's all that is needed, right? no nutes???

Should i start bending and tying down so that more light penetrates the middle-interior? Or should i just add some CFL's?

I'm confused. So should i feed the BIG one like i would normally, or should i just do r.o. water? I will be feeding the smaller one with nutrients tonight.
