Possible Nute Burn w/ pics Must figure out ASAP

Hello,
I am growing the Blueberry strain.
400w HPS, 12/12 from seed.
Soil: 7 parts foxfarm ocean forest, 3 parts foxfarm light warrior.
Nutes: Foxfarms big bloom and tiger bloom
Temp: 86 F
Humidity: 28%

This little lady is 23 days old form germinated seed.

I gave them plan water for week one, and big bloom nnute water at 1/4 strength for week two, and week three I alternated between molasses water with 1tbsp and then the next day 2 tbsp big bloom 1/2 tbsp tiger bloom.

I believe this was nutrient burn, because the leaves are getting yellowish areas and this one formed small spots.

I ruined a crop in the past due to nutrient burn so now I want to 100% know any small problems I find and fix them as early as possible.

After waking this morning and seeing this I flushed them all with plain water.

Can anyone confirm that this is the start of nutrient burn, or is this some other problem that is happening? Tell me ASAP! Thanks!

Sorry for the crappy pics, it's the only camera I have.

looks like some form of defiancy, nute burn tends to hit the end of the leaf tips. Check out the grow faq, there are pics that help you diagnose the prob. cheers

Yeah, that's looking like a bit of burn to me too. That really sucks.

Of course, the pics are a little hard to see, so if someone else thinks differently, chime in.

I think it's time to do some flushing and see if that can keep this from getting any worse. Did you OD on the nutes at all during the grow?

Do you know what might have gone wrong so you can avoid it the next time? Or maybe this is just a strain that's a little too picky?

Anyone else want to chime in? Help out a grower here!!!!!!!

Alrighty I'll check out a deficiency guide. Thanks for the help. In the meantime, anyone else have any other ideas, and possibly what deficiency it may be? Although I do doubt a deficiency this early on, since I have given them good nutes, and molasses watering, with good soil on top of that. Remember only 23 days old, but I'll look around.

I didn't think I was giving them too much nutes but the look of them says otherwise. I insta flushed them as soon as I saw this. I have heard that blueberry strain is very sensitive to nutes so that may be it. I think if it is nutrient burn I have caught it early enough and it won't be a problem.

I looked online and looked at pics and it may be a potassium or calcium deficiency, or nute burn can anyone help me to confirm which?

23 days in the cup, transplanting on saturday.
Week 1: No nutes.
Week 2: 1 tablespoon big bloom
Week 3: Alternated first, 1 tablespoon of molasses, then next watering did 2 tablespoons big bloom and half tablespoon tiger bloom.

I then saw this after a few days, the lower leaves are getting yellowish like this one on half of them. So I flushed and stopped nutes. Unless I hear otherwise I am going to use molasses next feeding, then nutes again.

looks like it could b nute lock out im having the same problem right now with a purple kush the humidity is about 22% im trying to raise it up to 50-60% i tried leaving a bucket of water out but doesn't seem to help so right now im flushing it and putting more buckets of water in the room to raise the humidity

Your plants look like mine? Could you please post some pics to compare? I flushed the crap out of mine this morning, I hope that fixes it because I can't lose another crap due to this shit lol. My last crop was supposed to take two months seed to finish. It ended up taking 4 months due to stunts and stress. Can't have that happen again, that's why I am freaking out and trying to figure this out ASAP. I have looked through 20 pages of plant problems and a lot of them look similar, but none are the same so it confuses me.

my plants started to get a couple of brown spots on 'em, worked out they were too big for the pots, i think this could be the case with yours they look far too big for what you're growing them in, give it a try :bigjoint:

Switching a seedling from sprouting is probably not a good idea. You can do that quite successfully with clones because they are a cutting from an adult plant, but with seedlings they need time to develope adult parts and a decent root system before switching them into the adult mode of producing bud then dying. Switching them from sprouting then will leave them very susceptable to all the problems that are associated with undeveloped cells, roots, cell walls, sexual hormones etc etc

I think you are right Cali. It looks like they don't feel well. Get those out of that little plastic cup and stick um in a 1 gallon container of good soil. Throw some more air circulation and don't nute it til 1 or 2 weeks after the transplant. That's what I'd do. Oh and also check the ph in that dirt. Just my opinion. Good Luck:mrgreen:

Hey Bentley I'm growing purple kush too. I had the humidity prob for a while and when I left out a bucket with some water it started to be a little too moist. I started a mildew prob and had to sulfer burn my room. Now no powderey mildew ever. Good luck!

This is the other issue. Since you are growing in soil you have a little time to figure out what is wrong and make good decisions, unlike in hydroponics where the real quick decision making needs to be done. Many plant problems I see growers post in help forums could have been sorted with slow good choice making since they are growing in soil, however grower panic often results in the plants going from having small problems to almost killing them off completely.

So I am now 75% sure it is a PH related issue. I have seen another guys plant that had the exact look of mine and his was a PH related issue. I just ordered PH strips online. If the PH is too high, which I think it is, I will use lemon juice to lower the PH to the correct level.
