Possible Lock Out and Burn? Help

[MrAutoGrower]

I believe these have been over fed and its caused a lock out. I was trying someone elses style this time around. Im using sensi ph perfect and been watering inbetween. I cannot afford a soil ph test meter just yet as they are expensive as hell!.

I believe i should flush with half strength nutrients until i get a good amount of run off. But i dont want to do it in case i make things worse.

Any advice?

Nutrient burn or could be lock out due to ph. Flush with just water but ph the water between 6 and 7 in soil that will help the plants ph in the soil and roots. If that's not the problem then it will flush out excess nutrients. When the plants pot is dry up start feeding again. I'd feed less next time too and work your way up if your plants need it. If not let em stay in there sweet spot once you find how much nutes there liking and how much is too much. Learn to read your plants then adjust as soon as you catch something off. Flushing will help balance the soil ph and flush nutes n salt build up from the soil. 2 in 1 bonus. Just remember to ph your water your flushing with 6 to 7. Good luck. I recommend a good flush. It will help.

I originally thought it was calmag defiency so i topped up calmag a little. Nothing changed and it continued to get worse. Then i realised it could be light stress and seen others with identical leave symptoms so i adjusted light. But it is starting to look like a lockout. The only thing I worry about is because theyre all in flower and flushing with just water could lead to more deficiencies. I think itd be best to flush with half strength nutrients to clear some of the old nutrients and salts from the root zone. What you think brother?

If it were me I would mix up a gallon of 250ppm feed and flush the pot with 6.5ph water test the run off for both ppm and ph and then when things look good use ur 250ppm feed.

Thanks for the advice brother. Im using sensi ph perfect line so i believe it will bring my nutrient feed to ph 5.5-6 tops. So i cant ph the feed. Im certain sensi line has salts/buffers to bring the ph back down even if i use ph up

You can ph it no problem and in my experience it only allows nutes to be picked up in a wider ph range it doesn't always bring ph to an acceptable level many threads documenting it.
