I was really shocked to find one of my plants in this state this morning, need some advise asap, I hate for it to die at this stage.

I have two of these. this one flowered late compared to my other one.
two days ago it was lush and green and perky [last feed] I fed 3ml per litre plant magic bloom as usual but I added 2ml pl of biobizz bloom boost. could this be the problem? both are organic ferts. run off ph is 6.5 and I'm growing in soil.

the other plant is in full bud production fed exactly the same, same size pot etc and is set to finish in the next few weeks and is looking as healthy as ever. the only thing I can think of is it didn't like the biobizz bloom boost, maybe I gave it too early?

if I missed any info needed, please let me know, thanks in advance.
If more pics are needed please shout, as you can see it's very droopy, never seen it like this, and some of the leaves have yellowed quite badly.
 
To tell you the truth it looks like it needs water.Are you feeding them per bottle instructions?.Most nutes are per gallon not litre. Has she stopped the vertical growth and started flowering?It's kind of hard to see but it looks like there are pistols on her,and when they go into flowering they need more phos and pottasium.

cheers mate, those pics above were taken an hour ago. I watered and fed [bloom only] I just been back out 10 minutes ago to find this. so hopefully I think you might be right. yes I am feeding per instructions and yes it started to flower around 10 days ago.

It looks to me like it's perking up from the water/feed. hopefully I panicked over nothing...this one is three times the size of the other one so I need to give it more water.:cough:
 
Don't worry about over watering when they get that big,they use alot of water .They look better already.You will need to add some cal-mag or molassis to keep ph in line and help them absorb your other nutes.

Thanks man, I will pick up some molasses in the morning, how much should I use? Tablespoon per liter? Or teaspoon?
 
Note the yellowing on the leaves ( at 11 o'clock yellow edges green around veins) and how it starts at the edge and moves inward. Two things are happening-#1 you raised your osmotic pressure and lost turgor (hydrolic pressure) she drooped. #2 Still as you segway to bloom you need to up the P. My feed lowers N as it adds P to keep osmotic pressure more even. So up the P a little at a time to keep osmotic shock to a minimum.

PS. you look a little nitro rich now too (dark green) easy off the N and ease is recommended. At 6 o'clock look at new leaves vs old.

Hello mate, many thanks for the advice! I had no idea what Osmotic pressure was so had to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_pressure

Do you think I should water only next couple of feeds, would this help? namvet25 suggested this and to add some Cal-mag or molasses. Does that sound right?

On the positive side the plant looked MUCH better today after the feed yesterday I gave just water and 3ml per litre Plant magic old timer organic. I left out the biobizz bloom boost. when I added the bloom boost on the previous feed is when this problem occured so I cut it out now. The other great white I have been in full bud and is not affected at all by the bloom boost, in fact it's buds are on the move. so as a new grower logic tells me that I fed the plant in question bloom boost too early possibly causing these problems.

The great thing about asking questions [even though I feel a bit of a dick asking] is I'm learning all the time thanks to you guys...now if someone mentions Osmotic pressure I can say oh yeah I know what you mean.:cough:

thanks for the help guys. I will update this thread with a pic tomorrow on the plants progress. I t certainly looks healthier today.:D

What can I use to up the 'P' by P I assume you mean phosphorus and not 'K' 'P'otassium ?
 
An updated pic today. I gave water and Molasses only early yesterday morning I think it is recovering. Does it look like it's improving? looks like some new growth to me?

Thoughts and advice please.
