So I’ve got four plants currently(grand daddy purple auto flowers, about 40 days in), I waited too long to transplant, and they starter flowering early, so I had to transplant them to larger fabric pots after likely kind of stunting their growth by leaving them in solo cups too long(amongst other things).
TLDR I’ve done a subpar job, recovered, and now my plants seemingly have nitrogen toxicity, and some odd differences between plants. What should I do?
Of the four, two of them I started in coco coir(in the pictures of all four plants they’re the top and bottom), did a bad job, and just decided to transplant them into soil because I’d had better luck with their sisters I grew in soil. They’ve grown quite a bit, but are kind of spindly, growing airy buds, and have tips curling in a way that suggests to me that there is nitrogen toxicity(I’ll have pictures included, if it looks like I’ve misdiagnosed them, please let me know!). After transplanting them, I fed them once with the floratrio at half strength, then at a third strength once I noticed the tips curling a bit, and this previous watering I gave them a bit more volume of water with only the 200 ppm of calmag, and maybe 50 ppm of the bloom( I figured it couldn’t hurt since I want less nitrogen but still want them to get at least some the bud nutrients they need) and tried to flush out the nitrogen that might have settled in the soil from the past nutrient watering. It doesn’t seem to have fixed the problem(although that watering was only 3 or 4 days ago so I don’t know if it should be showing significant improvement or not) I’m wondering if it’s possible that just the soil in itself has too much nitrogen in it for the plants at the flowering stage, and what it should do if that is the case.
Of the plants I did in soil, once seems normal(left side in picture of all four), but the other one is a bit odd(right side in picture of all four). When I transplanted I would say it was probably the largest of the bunch. At some point I tried tying the top down to do some minor LST(I think I kinked the main stem near the soil a little bit when doing this, but not TOO badly), and it seemed to kind of stop growing larger at that point, but is growing buds the best of the plants. Most of the leaves are dark green and shiny like it also has nitrogen toxicity, but also, doesn’t have as many clawed tips, and has one offshoot that recently seems to be growing like normal while the rest of the plant seems to have stopped. I’ve read some about what to do in these scenarios, but the oddities kind of make me wonder what exactly is happening. Anybody have some ideas, guidance, anything? I’ll be watering them again likely today or tomorrow, so I’m wondering if I should try to flush it out again, and really any other ideas to address the problems I’m having.
