I am using plant magic plus bloom boost - so that's my problem instead of using 0.25ml of it to each 250ml i should lower that to 0.1 so its half the dosage needed

The plant is about 3 to 4 weeks old , 6inches tall

haven't kept a journal but i'm going to start using one this is my first ever grow with no experience other than the growers bible
Thanks for the replies and that bro quick replies as well really appreciate it dude ill kill of those nutes for now im guessing since my overdose wasnt a major one i shouldnt need to flush or anything right ? just water with regular shit just now and it will be okay ..

Been using the nutes for just over a week now only 2 feedings the recommended dosage on the bottle is 1ml per 1 litre of water , i use 500ml bottles so i put in 0.5ml to 500 ml when i water i use 250ml so i add 0.25ml of boost the last time i did it tho i added about 0.525 ml to a 200ml watering so im guessing thats what it is if it is actually nute burn . I also on a couple of occasions misted the leafs with nute added by mistake i found thats a serious problem as the lights cook the solution on the leafs and cause burning , i wont do this again and i just today raised my light another 4 inches as i heard the hooking of my leafs and stuff can be cause its just too hot ..

My pot is a 1 gallon pot is 250ml of water each watering gonna be enough ? thats about half a mug full of water .
If I were you I'd mix up 10 ltr at a time then you know your measurements are bang on and like Jedi said start off at 1/4 strength .couldn't tell you how to water tho I grow coco.I've seen a good video tho I'll try and find it now

so your using bloom boost in the veg stage theres your problem right there, you should use grow for veg stage and bloom for flower stage

So i should stop using that bloom boost altogether , I'm sure i read on the bottle its for vegetative and flowering stage lol i will go 2morrow and get some grow boost instead of bloom boost and use that instead thanks a lot bro i now know what my problem is , much obliged ..

This ain't gonna do anything weird is it cause I've gave it flowering solution is my plant dead now or just over fertilized ?

So what happens when the coin linit has been reached?I'm not that good with computers and virtual currencies lol
Well nothing really, by then they should hold a pretty constant value (not accounting for demand) as they will have become as widely accepted as they ever will be and there will be a finite number available.

We'll all be dead by then though, it's due to happen around 2140.

yes because plants need different nutrients at different stages of its life thats why you have deficiencies, your plant should be getting nitrogen in the veg stage and in flower stage should be getting phosphorus and potassium

Quick question does anyone else here use OR HAVE USED --- Plant MAGIC PLUS ORGANIC GROW soil ???

I've had problems with drainage since the beginning the soil just does not drain from bottom , although i read somewhere its best NOT to let it run off as this can drown the roots at the bottom or some shit ?
Ive got the growers bible book here and that tells me to let off 10 to 20% run off after every watering , MINES WILL NOT RUN OFF AT ALL lol

Is there a way to pack the soil properly to allow drainage ? should i pack it loose or tight ? I have cultivated the soil at top every time before watering although i still get no run off at all !!!!
I usually just scoop the soil with the pot I'm using then pat down the top a little my pot is 1 gallon i believe - is 250ml enough water or should i use more when watering my 4 week old 6 inch high preteens ?

This is my updated pic , someone told me this is defo NUTRI BURN , can anyone else confirm this ?

For a start you'd do well by throwing that 'growers bible' in the bin!

1 step at a time and first things first, what's your medium PH at? And what kind of light are you using?

So really i should be looking for solution where the first number is higher than the first 2 ? so something like 6.4.4 (NPK)

I found one just now thats NPK 2.0/1.15/2.3 - is this sufficient enough for vegetative stage ?

The one im using right now is actually a PK booster lol so its dishing out levels of close to 4/13/14 i have already guessed this is way way too high for my young lady

So would i be okay and promote decent growth with the NPK 2.0/1.15/2.3 solution ? its called vitalink plant start with the numbers NPK 2.0/1.15/2.3 or should i go for higher N ?

The PH of my water is about 6.0 to 6.7 not accurate reading as using the PH tube kit , im gonna invest in a PH pen 2morrow and a moisture reader , and i need solution for my vegetative stage the store i go to tho only has limited stuff and they have a website so any chance someone can pick the right shit i need for this stage from the site ? its under the nutrients tab on left dont know if i can post links here http://www.hydraonline.co.uk

have a look on google and have a good read up on nutrients, you're going to have to flush your lady out to get rid of the build up of nutrients in the soil and start again at 1/4 strength with the right nutrients

It needs to be 6.5 in soil.

Digital PH pen.

You don't need a moisture reader and they don't work anyway.

And you haven't pinpointed anything, all you know is you are feeding the wrong nutes at the wrong time.

Sorry mate but not reading properly and dismissing things on a whim is probably what got you the problems in the first place.
