New Grower need help fast

Damn man, 3 tbls and 1.5 tbls is a lot of nutes for that little lady. I dont know if that is your only problem here, but that's the most notable and the first thing that I would change on your next girl, autos don't take as much nutes and especially smaller ones. Also agoodph meter is important, really it's preferable to have a soil and a water meter. Those strips just aren't as accurate as MJ needs them to be

I agree, forgot to mention that. You can see in your pictures how some of the leaves are curling under. That's a sign of over feeding. Usually about 1/2 the recommended strength is all most autos strains can tolerate.

Looks like maganese my friend, what're you using for Cal-Mag and how often are you feeding it? I ran into a lot of that with FoxFarm nutes and wound up getting Botanicare Cal-Mag+ to rectify the issue - thing is, don't feed a lot of it. Even with the deficiency you wouldn't feed more than 1tsp every 2-3 feedings.

To get a quick fix going, (maybe a permanent one as some people prefer it) go to Wal-Mart or any grocery store and pick up a bag of Epsom Salt. Don't get any therapeutic crap or scented garbage, juts plain old Epsom Salt. Should be in Health and Beauty in both stores. Next watering, do about 2 tsp of Epsom Salt and shake it up real well. Water with this soltuion + a smaller amount of base nutes. In one gram of Epsom Salt 48% of it is maganese sulphate. Organic growers prefer Epsom Salt over Botanicare CM+, so it's worth a go. I'd get a hold of JM or another Epsom Salt advocate to clarify how much to use and how often to rectify a maganese def. I would NOT do more than 2/tsp gallon of water and I would not add it more than once every two weeks - but again, I don't run it and I've only used it as a stop gap in the past.

Hope I helped, any questions or anythign I can clear up, let me know!

i use nutes.. Tiger Bloom is extremely hot.. I will listen to muddy dont go past half dosage. For your next watering I wouldn't feed and foliar her some epson like muddy said.. Then go to .5-1 tsp. I like to start low and work up.

No worries faded,this little girl will give you some good personal smoke, and even more valuable experience. It takes trial and error, and you aren't off to a bad start! Shit I had to eventually chop my first couple tries after they humbled my high hopes. You get your ph and nutes right and you will do good. Your baby can maybe fatten up a bit, but as far as any vertical growth, she is done.

That's a very broad range on the pH and if it's actually at one end or the other of that range your pH would be out of balance. The ideal range for plants in soil is 6.2 - 6.4, so I think you can see that a more accurate tester is needed. I highly recommend a Hanna Combo. http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/hanna-grochek-combo-phectdstemp-tester-p-437.html.

The Fertilome product you have looks like it would be effective. I would suggest you mix up a quart of it and add 1 teaspoon of epsom salts to it. Then do a foliar spray once a day for about 3 days. Cal/mag deficiencies are common with some strains right around the age your plants are, so having a cal/mag supplement on hand isn't a bad idea. You can also use unsulfured molasses and epsom salts for additional cal/mag.

so 1 quart of water 1 teaspoon epsom salt and what amount of ferti-lome

Spot on. BigBloom I used 1 tbls per gallon and for Tiger Bloom I used 1 tsp per gallon(same with the Grow Big 1 tsp per gallon). More then enough. I'm surprised you girl isn't a pile of ash. TB is hot shit for sure.
