korsouberde Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi guys,This plant was doing just fine untill yesterday. I water every 2 to 3 days with the General Organics line of nutes. I also give it just plain water.I use rainwater as i have 2 barrels in the back of the home that catches the rainwatter from the gutter. So water is fine.Whenever i have to water, I water her in the morning, when I wake up, at like 6 to 6:30 am just before the sun comes fully up.3 days ago, I got the brilliant idea to scoop like 3 cups of my compost in water with some molases to make a compost tea..ive done it numerous times with my other vegetables. I stir it like 3 times a day and it does its job good...however this time it was too strong, i did not mix it with water afterwards, like half gallong tea mixed with half gallon water... I just went straight 1 gallon of compost tea...i fed her..went to work and later in the afternoon when i came back home, i found 3 of the colas with all the leaves down, as if its dead..and yet the other colas are good.So I immediately gave it 3 galons of plain water to flush her since it was just fine before the compost tea, and now it turned like that, so my logic and common sense told me to flush her!Here is how she looked...will they straighten up back or did i screw this plant up? Btw, this plant got naturally topped...in her veg stage, the main cola got bitten up by iguana's ...and thats why all the extra colasAny help would be highly appreciated on what to do. Or if i should just wait and see because i already flushed.Here are the pictures...and you can see like 3 of the colas with the really sad leaves! Thanks guys.http://imageshack.us/a/img191/2631/3mtx.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img837/5025/ocmm.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img18/6661/exng.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img827/797/1xec.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img196/9422/4ejx.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img577/9731/kpke.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img404/6494/yu30.jpgGod bless you all my people.

gonzosghost Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Is your girl maybe over-fed? There is nothing more you can do but flush and hope she perks up. She will hopefully bounce back from it once the rootzone dries right up Just feed her light nutes once she fully dries Im no expert but im praying for her dude Take it easy, I hope it all works out Gonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hey bro, dont think you can blame 3 scopps of compost and some molasses for that, unless you used a VERY HIGH amount of molasses.Compost doesn't burn but using an excess of molasses can cause BIG problems! 1tsp per gallon of water is a safe and effective amount to use.And there's no "dilutiing" compost tea as you can't dilute microbes, rather give a lesser amount of beneficials. When you add water the water is just a carrier. It stretches you tea.Also lookes like you might have watered before they were ready to be watered? If that was the case and you flushed the medium, you probably compounded that error.The best thing you can do IMO is let it dry out like gonzo said.You might need to foliar feed while you soil dries out and corrects itself!Good luck brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korsouberde Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 alright folks... thank you so muchdo you think the 3 gallons of plain water was enough to wash it off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 alright folks... thank you so muchdo you think the 3 gallons of plain water was enough to wash it off ?I think the rule is 3x the amount the medium. So to flush a 1gal you need 3gals of water?! Maybe someone can chime in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzosghost Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Definetly InternationalGreen is right, 3x the volume of medium 1gallon pot - 3gallon flush3gallon pot - 9gallon flush ..and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korsouberde Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 ok then...i gave her the good flush as you guys advised...now its up to nature I suppose eh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 ok then...i gave her the good flush as you guys advised...now its up to nature I suppose eh ?Yep. just let it dry out! Keep in mind also that an organic flush isn't really the same as a flush that a grower would do when using synthetic nutrients.You can't flush a good organic soil because its job it to retain nutrients rather than release them. So to avoid problems, less is better 100% of the time!Good luck-edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykol76 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 hello friend, sorry to hear this news.but from the pictures you do not notice no evidence of over fertilization,the leaves appear clean, from burns, rather they are a bit of a green light.what I've noticed, is a symptom of over watering, or root rot.I'll give you my best wishes, I hope your plant will recover.peace by mykol76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
