We are growin a Bruce banner plant, he was doin great until we gave him fox farms nutrients...did we over nutrient him? We'd really appreciate your opinion on it.
did you check the PH Balance as well with the Nutrients ? -- and what was the feeding before Fox Farm ? during about what week in grow ? -- as some shocks can take 3 to 5 days before you see any change -- every time i do a lollypop or sun leaf removal it does take a few days to recover and see change
i would have done this instead -- where it calls for 3 Tsp i would do only 1 to 1 1/2 Tsp
and knock the other two to 1 Tsp so it would be a weak dose and not a major shock all at once
so the plant would have a bit of time to adjust to the new nutrients and gradually go full strength
PH Balance does play a big role during grow -- best range is from 5.8 to 6.5 on PH Balance both with and without nutrients // without doing the PH Balance i did notice longer times for things to really shine or show and things just smaller than what should be or like it to be
Yeah the ph was good....yeah we flushed him an are definitely gonna cut back on the fox farms nutrients. He was doin great I mean beautiful plant, big leaves jus perfect until we gave him those nutrients but yeah I think we're gonna cut it back some, I donno how to post pics or I'd show ya the difference, in new to the group. But thank you I agree, cuttin back on the nutrients. Thank you I appreciate any info, I'm first time grower so any info would be great :)
@Mr. Grow It we're usin soil, an hes alittle over a month he was given to me as a clone. I posted a pic of Bruce in the comments I jus wanna know if hes gonna make it or am I jus wasting my time :/
when posting a comment or otherwise info and stuff look at bottom and there is a camera icon click that and you can add photo and even give it a caption as well -- when i got my first set of Fox Farm Nutrients i had no chart or any way of knowing how much to give on each as it was a guessing game // then i finally got the chart and wow what a difference in grow --
this one took about 2 weeks to really show its beauty after i started with the Fox Farm - yes i did the weak stuff at first so i could slowly flush out the old stuff i was using - plus to help insure things i did the minimum feed - about 2 cups every 5 to 7 days - so i would not over due or undercut the feed // below is like 3 months later
then one day it all went wild and just in wow factor -- but mind you i did not have the correct PH and yes it was a bit longer and smaller but still the results came out good -- so be patient and give everything a chance to kick in -- once you find the sweet spot you will be happy with Fox Farm Nutrients !!
but my new trick is to PH Up the water first before adding all nutrients so by time its all mixed and PH Tested it will fall at about 6.2 -- that is starting with water that is at 7.3 to start out with -- now do the feed schedule with all three nutrients it will now take it down to about 3.8 to 4.1 ( no Ph Up ) that's a big drop and uses lots of UP to get close to range - that is why i do the PH Up first
the twins here are about 2 1/2 months - i stunted em as i did not have room for them at time i wanted to put in final grow booth ( in now ) but yes they did get stressed and lost alot of the lower leaves but they are starting to take to the grow i am doing -- it took about 2 weeks for the stress to grow out so i think they are looking great for what i put em through both are about 17 to 18 inches tall -- been debating to cut all sun leaves and let the Buds do their thing
@Mr. Grow It yeah Bruce is comin back slowly we flushed him twice an that really made him happy we're actually gettin ready to clone him. Thanks for the advice though I love the page ya got here. Good advice for first time growers.
looking nice now and best of luck the rest of the way -- things might look like a total loss but give some thought on Tender Loving Care and POW right back at ya with a whole new look of BEAUTY !!!!!!
@jafofubar57 well now my pink kush's very top leaves are startin to shrivel up or dry up after we transplanted her into a bigger pot cuz she was ready to go into flower, were runnin 1000watt led light an we checked the distance between the light an her an that was fine...maybe underwater? Or maybe too much wattage? Anyones opinions would be great an no we didnt over nutrient her like we did Bruce lol we learned that lesson the hard way lol shes in a 12gal pot so I know the pots big enough so what do you guys think we doin wrong its jus the very top leaves not the bottoms. Maybe upset over the transplant 🤷♀️
Love your plant, here is my Bruce Banner, 7 gal cloth pot, promix media, led light, General Hydro flora. LST, bent main stem to reveal all these lower branches. Plant needs to stretch to close to the media, (milar to keep leaves off the media). Light fragrant odor.
We did follow the nutrient chart as well

Are you in soil or coco coir? What was the PPM of the runoff? Also, how old is the plant?

Your plants are BEAUTIFUL! wowwww
That plant can definitely recover. I had clones that looked worse than that and they recovered. It just may take awhile.
@Mr. Grow It yeah Bruce is comin back slowly we flushed him twice an that really made him happy we're actually gettin ready to clone him. Thanks for the advice though I love the page ya got here. Good advice for first time growers.
@Mr. Grow It I'll have to get a recent pic of Bruce and pink. Our pink kush is doin fantastic in a grow tent an under 1000w led lights
That's what he looks like now :/ we did flush him though. Now my pink kush is doin great
My pink kush
looking nice now and best of luck the rest of the way -- things might look like a total loss but give some thought on Tender Loving Care and POW right back at ya with a whole new look of BEAUTY !!!!!!
Yeah we flushed Bruce twice his babys are comin back now, we're actually gettin ready to clone Bruce. Thanks for all the advise, love the group

The transplant can shock her and it will take a few to recover.
