Please help sick blueberry auto

[pop22]

The plant is N toxic, that is what causes the tips of leaves to curl under. Do you have a means to check your EC/PPMS and PH? It's the only real way to tell what is going on in the root zone and what your nutrient levels are.

Hi everyone I have two blueberry autos going both in biobizz light mix in 7.5l pots, one is very happy and another isn’t the leaves at the top are droopy and some fan leave are curling downwards, i water both every 3/4 days till I get run off and let them dry out a bit for watering again, they both get biobizz nutes, I’m giving them 1.0ml grow per litre, 1.0ml bloom and 0.5ml top max, both at over 6 weeks, I just can’t work out why this ones doing this with the leave curling and it is behind the other by far, any help would be appreciated, the last photo is my happy one btw

Hi there, thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don’t, I just leave the water sitting for a few days before using, it’s my first grow and read that because I’m using organic soil it will buffer the ph itself, what would your best advice be if I’ve given it to much nutes to early.

@Crowkill89 Welcome to AFN No two plants from seed are the same and some are more finicky about their nutrients than others.

I hate pre-charged soils. They have a steep learning curve and new growers often have problems with the timing and amount of nutrients to apply.

Flushing soil causes more problems than it solves because it washes away the salts but leaves the elements behind. It becomes very difficult to get the balance back in the pot. Flushing is a last resort in soil. Do not flush.

You have a little bit too much nitrogen in the mix now. You do not need a big correction. Do not do anything drastic!

It looks like your plants are in ~week 5 so use the week 5 off the chart but reduce it by 50% The pot is still retaining some of its original charge of nutrients.

So that means .5ml/l grow, 1ml/l grow, .5ml Top Max, 1.5ml Bio-Heaven, 1ml/l Algimic and 1.5ml/l Activera.

Only fertigate on the third watering in the cycle - feed, water only, water only repeat.

What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and roots there will die. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. There is an art to watering.

Hi mate I’ve managed to get her a lot happier now, I feed her just water seems to have helped, what do you think because it’s due a water tonight, should I just go pain water again or this time just a ting does of bloom, it’s actually 7 weeks old today I know I’ve given it to much nitrogen but done want it to starve from other nutes

I would just go PHed water again.

I would just go PHed water again.

Thas what i done, 2 plain waters then bio bizz bloom 3m per 2 litre,
