New Grower A blind man growing his meds...

Yes I agree it looks like a NPK problem due to nutrient lockout. I'd recommend flushing with pure pH water. You can also do a mild foliar feeding to get nutrients to them right away.

Next feeding, I'll check the runoff 4ph. I'll have to have my wife find the meter, though. My thought was Cal Mag deficiency so I was compensating with the molasses. Haven't done anything yet. I haven't planned on doing anything at all now until at least tomorrow. Thanks a lot for the heads up! And for the call to help.
 
Okay... So I will just flush them out with some water. I am concerned about rhe energizing those fungus gnats, though. We are giving foliar nutrients for the past week or so. We also took some of the solution and poured it directly into the soil up to about 3 inches or so away from the stalk. Only did that once, though. So, flush well with some ph balanced water and keep with the spray-on nutrients for now. Again, I don't mean to sound ignorant or like I haven't research or read up on this... But what would be a good source for the nitrogen if it's needed? I'll do some more research on nutrients, as well. I will take the advice of getting rid of the Miracle Gro. I've heard good things about something called Tiger bloom? Or something to that effect. Thanks again for all this wonderful info, everybody! Please keep it coming. God bless!
 
Everything is a learning experience. As for the fungus gnats , don't over water and if you put a layer of sand on top of the soil it will keep the bastards from leaving and they will die. What nutrient lockout is, is basically the salt concentration is too high for your plant to absorb nutrients even though they are in the soil they are no longer readily available to your plants. Don't add anymore nutrients yet.

That probably caused you problems. But no need for apologies, everyone makes mistakes. The Tiger Bloom is for budding, Grow Big is for veg. Their both part of the fox farms trio. The other is big bloom you use it all thru the grow. I use fox farm nutes myself, but if you have fish emulsion you can mix a few drops in your spray bottle and feed with it peace!
 
Yes they are Autos. I thought they were small myself. Not sure what you mean by one Wonder buds, but they are small.
About the nutrients, I assume these are designed to be used with the fox farm soils. Are they organic as well? Should they be flushed 2 weeks prior to harvest? I haven't researched specific Brands yet. Thanks again everyone! God bless! :peace:
