Hi all,
I am in week 5 of an auto-flower grow (week 2 of flower) using Nature's Living soil (auto-flower mix). I am running 5 plants of different strains (Fastberry, Critical Auto, White Widow, Blue Mystic and Crystal Meth) in 5 gallon fabric pots. The soil mix is 1 lb of the super soil concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest in the bottom 1/3 of the pot and the rest is plain FFOF. The plants are all getting EC 140 µS water at pH between 6.2 and 6.5. All plants seem to be thriving and on their way to some nice looking colas with the exception of the Crystal Meth plant which (steady yourself) looks like this:
It looks to me like a text book case of nitrogen toxicity. In fact, the strain description by FastBuds even specifically mentions a sensitivity to nitrogen. I am not over watering the plant at all. In fact I might have under watered slightly in the beginning which, if this is what I think it is, might have contributed to the problem. I am new to the super soil approach and not sure what to do. I tried giving the plant a couple of flushes but it seems to not be absorbing as much water as you would expect and the pot stays pretty heavy for days. If I were using bottled nutrients this would probably have fixed the issue but so far no real change.
Anybody have any idea how I should proceed. I think the plant is recoverable (no actual leaf death yet) but whatever I do it's going to have to be soon. Any help would be really appreciated.
