Am I over feeding?

[maxkolonko123]

Hey guys

Need your help again, I think my plant got worse over last 2 weeks, I've change my routine as advised here to cut down on nutes and feed e2 watering, so as of now I'm doing 1ml/l biobizz root 1.5ml bloom 1ml top max, I've stopped using seaweed. Im just not sure if the plant is lacking of nutes now or still overfed due to less water used per watering so the buildup is not flushed correctly. Please see pictures and let me know what you think chaps

I'd back down on the feed....

Yesterday was plain water day watering shall I do again plain water to flush some more nutes and then start feeding again starting at 0.5ml/l on each root bloom topmax?

Your asking the wrong person about soil nutes

The thing to be aware of is the fact that the plant will be 'preloaded' with nutes... so, whatever you do, it may take a couple of days to show...

First thing that caught my eye in the photos are the light-colored leaves on the top-most buds of the plant...not good. That's usually of sign of nutrient deficiencies or nutrients lock-out. Your plants might be stressed out now too from the latest feeding/watering schedule. Hard to do but I'd go with M_C and wait a few day to see whether things get better or worse.

Thats why im so conufsed right now guys, if you check my first posts here you can see i was doing 2.5ml/L bloom 2.5ml topmax 1ml sumo boost, 1ml of seaweed per L i was always watering 10% of pot which is 2L of water so 5ml bloom 5ml topmax etc per watering, then i backed off after advises here that less is more so then ive started doing 1ml of each e2d watering with plain water in between feeding, and im sure plant got worse in those 2 weeks time :/

2 liters on a 20 liter container? I have 4 x 19l and they divide 16l of feed every 1.5-2nd day..

I would say feed her 50-60% strenght of what the biobizz guys recomend. And give her water/feed till you have runoff at the bottum in your spill tray. Remove this runoff.

Do you know whay kind of water you give to your plants. Soft water, hard water? Well water? This can usually be found online.

Here’s my thoughts.

The very first pic you posted you have dark green old leaf and bright green new leaf.That says to me the plant has a deficiency.probably cal/mag it’s always the first to show.New growth is lighter than old but it shouldn’t be vastly different.But she was doing ok and the advise was to carry on which was fair advise being we don’t know every condition of your growroom and conditions are just as important when advising the best remedy as to how a plant should be fed.

Trouble is if deficiencies aren’t treated they will only get worse.

You spotted some burnt tips and as this is a sign of overfert the advise was to back off the nutes and offer regular water feeds.
Trouble is overfert is not the only reason for burnt tips.

You have a 20 litre pot and you first fed 2 litres a time when the plant looked droopy.That’s not enough.

You then began to feed 1 litre with alternate water feeds.

What I think is going on is firstly you should water the plant till every bit of soil is wet and with run off.
Then you should let the soil dry out but not till the plant is droopy.You are letting the soil get too dry.
How often to feed is dependent on a lot of things.A large soil plant may need feeding every day but that’s not the case here.
In any case the soil should never get too dry.

As you are only watering small amounts the soil will have hotspots which are showing in the burnt tips, which make you think you are over feeding.But your not.
As you have alternated the feeds with water the deficiencies have gotten worse.And 1 litre watering every 3 to 4 days will have added to that.

Same here. 2L watering for a 20L pot would not do it for my 20L's. Right now I have 2 plants in soil in 20L pits and they consume 2 -3 liters every other day.
