Okay, so instead of starting a thread I thought I'd try here first. I know people talk about N tox/def or P and K def a LOT, but I've got a question about P and K tox. This happened using FF Big Bloom on an afternoon where I took a few Xanax and I guess wasn't thinking clearly (not a normal thing for me, and I could kick my own ass).
I'm pretty sure I mixed up the mixture the way I intended (it was mixed up on a different day than the mistake was made). I had 3 tblsp Big Bloom in 3L water. Anyways the first thing I noticed was the ones affected were all very droopy. This was 24 hours later. 48 hours later it was even a little worse. I was a bit stumped (although immediately attributed it to something I did the day before because I didn't remember a lot of things 100% clearly).
What happened was I just gave them way too much. I tested the soil and the P and K was off the charts. Now, I've read from Jorge C that when this happens you can and will depending on how much you gave them, run into problems with magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, and even manganese being deficient and now I'm noticing signs of that reddish rusty looking pattern starting on the edges of leaves and now on some of the older fan leaves had spread through the whole leaf in spots. Everything is still droopy. Before I knew what I thought was wrong all I knew to do was to flush them and I did so very well, twice. This didn't fix things and now I think at least one of them is probably going to die, one has come back pretty well, two remain pretty consistently bad, and then there's two that are still bad, but much better than the rest IMO.
Mind you, if this was everything I'd be really really upset. I have others that are doing quite well and some that have now surpassed these in growth that started much later than them and are looking great. I had two others that are pretty healthy that I wanted to flower a while back and was waiting on these six because they should have been ready by now. I've taken them all out of tent and am about to just start flowering what's ready and moving the others in as they're ready (if I can get some of these older ones to that point).
Okay, so seeing the Redding of the leaves I'm thinking calcium def or magnesium def. I'm new, so excuse me if any of this sounds way off. Now what I want to ask is, if you were in this situation what would you do to correct it the best you could, in order from first to last. I've waited longer than I should have to make try to make this right so maybe I'm too late and they're just going to go more and more downhill, but there's been a lot of other things going on as well so if they do then so be it. I do love em though, so if I can fix it at this point I'll do whatever I can. Let me know if you've seen this before or know how to fix it. If not and you're still a very experienced cultivator, chime in with what you'd do anyways please if you know and have a minute
