![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | As a measure of "First Aid," I'd begin flushing to halt any further damage caused by the uncontrolled/poor controlled content of nutrients in that bag of pre-fert soil. Then check to see if the roots have found their way out of the drain holes of the bucket Transplant to a larger bucket if they have. Root bound? check my link below. Re-fert with some quality nutes ![]() Good luck! -GT

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | deff not rootbound, you can grow mass trees in solo cups.. looks like iron or sulfur, I would take iron before sulfur.

![]() | ok good, i was scared for a minute there that it was rootbond, but i do have a huge pot so im ptretty sure that wouldnt happen, so its deffently a def of sum kind, like iron or sulfur, could this be because my nutes are only 2-4-1, should i just up the nute dose, im using like4 drops in a regular size water bottle...

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | never rootbound , that plant would fit in 1/2 a solo cup size for reference.. I also see a P def. and I dont mean potassium , I mean phosphrous I have no idea whats in your bottled nute, but for better record keeping maybe use a 1/2 gallon or 1/4 gallon size container then write down how many ML's your using.. could also be zinc too as that affect the top of a plant sulfur affects the middle of a plant most the time so I would guess iron then zinc then sulfur check these def pages on this link, read on them, and maybe you can figure it out : International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
