Are the leaves showing signs of overdose? What should I do?

[Berat Temel]

Hello friends, I recently provided my plant with some high value nutritional supplements and additional lighting, but I started to see some symptoms that are fatal to the plant. I returned the lighting to its previous form and now I am not giving any nutrients to the plant. I see yellow spots on the leaves, a sign of low chlorophyll, and burns. I don't know what I should do at this point. Is the plant dying? I need your advice to save it..

Magnesium deficiency.
Add 1 tablespoons of unscented epsom salt to a gallon of water and feed that next watering.
Might take a couple waterings with epsom before she comes back around

It does look like mg def but since you are not feeding anything i suggest you flush the soil with a well balanced fertilizer including MG and all elements.

Looks like they did feed, but pulled back because of the deficiency

The soil is currently very moist. Can magnesium be given via foliar spray to meet the nutrient needs until the moisture level decreases? How often should I give it?

Yes you can foliar spray, but I don't personally like foliar sprays.
Same ratio.
1 tbsp per gallon

mg is a mobile element so it should appear in older growth first. This issue looks like it is starting in newer growth. Diagnosing plants can be tricky that is why i often flush out old ferts from the medium replace with fresh balanced feeding. Good luck.

What do you suggest in this situation, John?

Not really understanding the overdose comment. Dude said he's not been feeding anything.

Feed them or they will continue to get worse. At this point what ya got to loose aye? Bloom formula and cal mag should help.

Try reading a bit more on plant nutrition needs. Stay on top of that before problems arise.

I have a couple each year that are a lot more prone to over feeding. I just put them in the sink and run water slowly into the pot and exit the bottom for an hour. I have smaller pot at that stage so its much easier to flush. In just a couple days they look better. Flush then add Epson wont hut anything. You can figure out how to flush with a bigger pot.

flush it like longtimegrower said then feed with 1/4 or 1/3 of dose
or do like greenmobster440 said and then

Good point. Not all plants are the same. Some can eat like birds and flourish while others want tons of food. Ya just tweak what your working with and take a few notes.

These will finish but they ain't gonna look pretty. The lack of feeding shows. I feed plants from seedling to harvest. Unless you have a organic medium loaded with goodies ya have to feed these plants. Even with organics ya still end up amending some things in the mix during the grow.

@Berat Temel Ya got a lot to think about for your next grow. I'd read a bit more. Knowledge of plant needs is basic stuff we all need to know. Yeah, you've failed a little bit..so what. Learn n move on. It gets better with experience.

Hang in there brother.

@Berat Temel
What did you give for food? What soil is it in? How close is the light?
Auto or photo?
Hours on vs hours off?
More info the better for diagnosis

not for me ) i see it through

the leaves talk with me xD

 

[WonkasTHC]

Leaves can mean a number of different things, so without knowing details you cant really tell anything for sure. but ok.

If its a P overfeeding you can flush with pH adjusted water and a calcium supplement like calcium acetate. Calcium acetate will bind to phosphorus. Its used for some renal patients just for this purpose but it can also be bought as a supplement. Its also water soluble unlike many other forms of calcium.

Here i cant use plain tap water for that because the pH is crazy high and will just create more lockout problems.

Water-soluble seaweed flour, water-soluble micronutrient fertilizer (Boron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Molybdenum and Iron). In addition, 20% N.P.K. solution and other nutrients By providing calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate (epsom salt), I dissolved these mixtures separately, homogeneously, in water and transferred them to the soil. Over the next days, the plant grew upwards and put out new leaves.
Development was good at this stage and I provided an extra light source to maximize the process. Although the plant grew rapidly, it showed some symptoms of yellow spots on the leaves, which @John Kramer mentioned was due to phosphorus deficiency.

This time I added water-soluble phosphorus, but I must have overdosed it because the plant later turned into the one in the photo. Now I washed the soil with water in the range of 6.3PH and fed it with magnesium (epsom salt) from the leaves by spraying.
At this stage, the upper leaves began to erect upwards. The ambient humidity is at the desired level and the light rate is moderate. I use organic garden soil mixed with worm compost and peat tea. It is a living soil, tiny microorganisms live in it.

The soil is very moist after washing, so I will try to continue the nutrient need from the leaves by waiting for the moisture to decrease without giving more nutrients to the soil. I'm thinking of doing this with a liquid fertilizer that has the Bloom effect.

Frankly, everything was fine until I didn't use too much phosphorus. The only problem was that small yellow dots appeared on the branches, but I have read that this is not a serious problem. Now I will wait for the plant to recover and continue feeding from the leaves. I hope I can get through the process without any losses. This is my first growing experience, I don't want the time and resources I spent to go to waste. I was thinking of starting flowering in a few days, but it seems like it will take longer.
