Hey Piece of advice please

Thanks for the help guys actually i just fed them again this morning since i had to already from yesterday i waited to see the comments and it all just popped right now so i didnt massure the ph of the run off.

Thank`s guys for the link i just ordered that one so ill keep you posted either next feeding or on the soil meter whatever comes first! much love..
 
Money well spent. The Accurate 8 is a great tool and will make you a better grower. When it arrives, take 3 readings in different spots per pot and average them. Give it a good 5 minutes on each reading for it to stabilize. Also, the little cleaning pad that comes with it doesn't last long. Some 0000 steel wool works great. Make sure to clean it between readings.

Thanks alot, well i been reading over the usefull information in the link you guys gave me and i saw the leafs getting claw means nitrogen tox, i always thought its because of the light might not reach that part of the leafs but after reading.. could you guys take a look altough its a PP plant??

And today i fed her the same nute amounts of last time, should i try and flush or im just over reacting??

Now that new pic puts the leaf condition in a better dimension. It does have pronounced clawing, and it could well be overfed. We still have the soil pH to sort out accurately, but on the whole, she doesn't look bad, just stressed. It wouldn't hurt to do a moderate flush. At least if it IS nute overload, that will stabilize and purge a bunch of salt.
Is your soil (pro mix, right?) compacting? Eyes just had me fluff my top soil because of bad water uptake, and it really helped "open the pores" on my girl. I took a plastic spoon and gently (goal is not to hurt the roots) loosen up the first inch (more, if you can. I couldn't) of top soil. I didn't even pat it down, just smoothed it. I wouldn't have thought to do it.. It did no harm, and some nioticable good.
That, and a decent drenching, and at least (other than pH) you'll know if it was nutes. Hope that helps, KK :)
 
Glad to see you went ahead and got the accurate 8. Going without is like going blindfolded. I'm sure you'll see a big difference once you start using it. Glad we could be of some help. It definitely looks like you got some N toxicity going on.

Hey thanks actually this picture is not of the same plant that i posted the leaf problem we discussed before :{
anyway i will flush it first thing tomorrow and see whats up
 
Clawing occurs on leaves to which have high levels of nitrogen and insufficient light causing nitrogen toxicity, less nutes and higher levels of light will both help when this occurs.
Flushing with a weak nutrient solution help the salt ions in your soil flush through and you'll want to flush with about six time the amount of water to pot size for a thurough flush through.Growth will be slow for a couple of days afterwards. Like waxi mentioned airation of the soil really helps if it is compacted,one reason I like to add a fair bit of perlite to lighten up my soil. It will mean a bit more watering but your roots will love the extra oxygen. If you find you are watering every day alternate feed with plain PH'd water and watch your plants they will tell you if they are hungry.
