Over feeding??

So I’ve been growing in soil that I’ve added amendments to on my own. It appears to have developed some nute burn. I’ve been under the impression that with organics and soil amendments that the plants will use what they need, when they want. In the beginning, I did give her some fox farm nutrients. Everything was fine. I haven’t fed her anything other than microbe and kangaroots from fox farm and water mostly. I did top dress a few weeks ago with some super soil. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? And will flushing be necessary? She’s ten to twelve weeks into veg and I’ve topped her several times.

If that plant is 3 months old something is not right. I can't tell you what is wrong...just that at 3 months veg a plant should be much much much larger.

Looks like a little nitrogen toxicity, nothing to worry about though imo. It will need it in flower

I let it get to seven nodes before topping and started training it for mainlining. I topped it several times. I probably did too much to it.

Yeah topping a lot is probably what happened. The point of topping is to let all the side branches catch up with the main stem. If you go crazy you are def doing more harm than good.

I did a double top this go around cause I wanted 4 main tops on each plant. And it turned out awful. When I single topped in the past things filled out much better.

I’ll keep that in mind next time. I think I’ll stick to lst for the most part here on out. She’s starting to take off now. As of the past few weeks.

She’s starting her third week of flower now. She’s doing quite well thanks for the advice guy I appreciate it.

Here she is now. I believe she has a bit too much phosphorus in the soil. But she’s seems happy overall. Gets recharge with molasses once a week. (She’s getting water almost every day) Occasionally with some gentle kelp meal mixed in. Anything you guys would do different?
