Hi all, i`m running my second grow now and im in day 50 of flowering.
unknown seed (looks like sativa dominate) growing in 10L pot, Soil+Coco, using AB SENSI BLOOM A+B.
it seems like i burn her good with over feeding - was feeding with about 2000 Ppm, yea...i know
its high =/ the tips of the leaves start to burn and it become worse and worse until the burn reach really
close to the stem.

unfortunately i noticed it pretty late so i thought the best thing to do is to flush it good.I measured the PPM
runoff in the first time and it was 5.5 EC, used only ph`d water and water her until the runoff EC
was 1.5 (watered with around 15 liter!!). i know i already did all that but still i want to hear what do you
think, if i did any mistakes or what should i do next time?

Pics from last week :

take the time to get a good strain. kush's are my preference or any high grade indica plant. also try to keep your ppms around 650-750 during veg, check runoff periodically to make sure theres no nute build up in the pots. in flower dont go over 1200. eventually youll find a nice medium for the type of strain your growing if you grow it more then one time.

I`v got another small OG kush in veg now, really nice dark green =]]
youve got anything else i should know about the kush?

I feed them lightly. Usually as long as your fan leaves are happy you shouldnt worry bout feeding more. It is probably more light the plants crave if anything.

keep the feedings low and just focus on keeping the fan leaves happy. (their branches color is a good indication if they need nutes too)

Kush needs space and training. Probably topping while the plant is very young. Then veg for a couple weeks with just pinching stems to prevent stretching and to strengthen stems..

Scrogging or using stakes to support flopping buds. Otherwise keeping a fan on them throughout the grow along with pinching should create some strong branches. Because of the dominance of the central trunk I would steer away from LST... though I haven't tried it yet.

BeastGrow - thanks for the tips, hope it will go better with the kush.
and for the first topic, the nut burn & the flush, i didn`t really understand if what
i did (flush it with 15L of water and reduce the EC runoff to 1.5) was the
right thing? and what should i do next? just keep feeding with 1.5 EC until harvest?

JFK6 no worries on noticing your plant problems late...at least you noticed them! :) i think learning to read the plants is a major part of learning to grow and on your second grow to start noticing it seems like you'll be producing some really nice smoke in no time! good luck on your grow. :peace:

I flush the plant for 2 waterings or at least 1 week prior to harvest. The plant should already have about 50% colored hairs before you start flushing. You just want to make the plant consume a couple fan leaves of plant nutrients rather than fertilizer nutrients.

I just flush 1x container volume at a time. In total 2x container volume.

thanks a lot ppl! you really helping me here =]
I decided to reduce the EC to 1.2 (about 900ppm), feeding with that until ill notice some "ready for harvest"
signs and than take BeastGrow advice and flush her for the last week. unfortunately i cant rid from
the burn signs, and it doesn't look she`s getting over it its so frustrating...she was so healthy until i burn her ass =/

Thanks again and ill be happy to hear any income =]
and i promise to upload some harvest pic`s when the time will come.

well...since you asked... XXX OG, Skywalker OG, King Louie, Private Reserve OG, Larry OG, Tahoe OG, Diablo, Holy Grail i could go on :)
the skywalker og makes me TIRED and i'm looking for a day smoke. i've smoked something before that was called "triple X" and really liked that, i wonder if that XXX OG would be similar. will definitely check out the other strains you mentioned...please go on. :-)

the Tripple, or XXX OG i believe is one in the same. ive heard both names thrown at the same strain. i tend to call it tripple og. Its a good strain to grow. mid yielding plant, very bushy. i was able to get 16oz in a 4x4. If you want something thats going to keep you awake...or not make you lethargic, maybe you should look into some sativa plants. sativa is not my forte...but i will grow it here and there.
