hi folks, I think maybe I poisoned my largest most beautiful Acapulco Gold plant. It is just about to bud out and I thought I would give it a little kick in the seat of the pants. The only fertilizer it had for the entire 100 days it has been in the ground is Alaskan fish emulsion (5-2-1). Well I found some Miracle grow Bloom (15-30-15) I had left over from previous gardening attempts and I thought It would speed the blooming process up so I gave it a pretty strong dose and the next day the leaves at or near the bottom of the plant started turning yellow. as the day progressed the leaves started to turn Yellow in a systemic fashion. During the week the yellowing and what I call "Squirrelitis" the leaves are all twisted and turning Yellow and the symptoms are headed for the top of the plant. I'm almost sure it's nutrient burn or maybe toxic nitrogen burn. As the branches gradually succumb to the problem the bud-site out at the end of the branch appears to have died. Completely wilted. first the 2 apposing bottom branches, then the next set of apposing branches up the plant get sick and symptomatic and the Bud-site appears to have died. It seems to be headed all the way to the main Cola two branches at a time in a systemic poisoning type of action.
Is there anything I can do to stop the progress of the symptoms and save my plant? I'll send some better pictures ASAP. and thanks in advance
