I'm going soon so I will share what happened before I go
Ok so after initially stopping the feed and using just water the leaves started to yellow as is normal, then I decided I wanted to let them ripen a bit more so carried on with feeding.
Next time round I knocked up some ace of buds and pk solution of just under the recommended dosage.
I applied some ph down but I put just a bit too much in and my ph ended up something like 5.6 or something can't remember off the top of my head. I nearly threw it away but decided to chance it and see what happened.
Ok so after a day there where signs of root lock up and the yellowing had got worse, I know at this point I should have flushed through with tap water but they still looked fairly healthy apart from the yellowing so i decided to go for the noob mistake of feeding due to the obvious deficiency.
I knocked up just some ace of buds and fed with that(risky I know). I kept a watchful eye on them and watched as they slowly deteriorated as soon as I saw the effect I was looking for I flushed through with water. That was yesterday,
These pictures where taken today But the plants look nearly the same as yesterday
So according to this experiment what you see is the effect of root lock out due to acidic ph then over feeding on top of that. How much of the damage was done due to the overfeeding I don't know, I suspect most of the damage was done from the ph but as stimpy pointed out you can see nute burn,
so what im theorising is it looks as though even with the roots locked up they can still take up nutes but my guess would be that it is way too strong.
After flushing everything through with tap water all seems to be back to normal but only time will tell, only water for my ladies from now on in preparation for harvest.
I know this has been a pretty pointless topic because you all know the dangers of ph and overfeeding but I thought I would share my findings, my next grow is nft so wanted to get the ph f@$# up out the way now
Drugs and alcohol is never the answer, Unless someone asks what I'm doing tonight
