& I'm learnin to do so.
This poor Mango told me she's sittin in too much nitrogen. So I said, "Oh you poor girl. Look how thirsty you are. Lemme mix you up a batch of nutes heavy in nitrogen."
Dammit.
So should I flush her a little or just ride it out til she dries & gits a phed water only feeding & see how she does?

Sure JDU I would flush her just like you said, and if it's been at least a couple days since you over fed flush her now.
 
There's nothing wrong with flushing and starting over to get back on track but if that's the worst of it I would just give straight water in the usual amounts 2-3x in a row and let it use that excess N up rather than wash everything out of the soil. My photos especially I keep the tips hooked, I try to ride the edge of toxicity because it's easier to tell and manage toxicity than it is deficiency in my opinion. When I see that slightest bit of nute tox I know it's getting enough, when there is no tox I'm constantly waiting for signs of deficiency and if I get complacent and don't monitor closely I do end up with deficiencies and then I'm playing catch up and tend to either go too lightly or overboard and cause more issues.
 
Well she finally dried out so I could give er a ph'd water only drink. Is this coloration just more of the N-tox showing or do I have a new issue?

Starting to look better. If it were me, I would lower nitrogen for a feeding cycle and see how they look. Then reassess regular feeding again. MEOW
 
Should be lookin worse. The 1st pic was right after a feeding with nutes as I saw the N tox & wished I hadn't fed nutes. She's been feeding since & just now finally got straight water. Now the leaves are discoloring & that's what I'm asking about.
 
JDU , have you checked ph of your run-off? See if its the same coming out as what your putting in.(or close) If its off by a good margin...you need to do a full flush. Get things back to normal so you can ease in nutes again. I just finished a auto that really didnt like much nitrogen at all..had to water her with lighter nutes all thru grow.
 
I haven't.
Nxt time she gets watered I'll have to do that. Now that you mention I did forgit to ph the new soil when I transplanted.....
