By the looks of that pic it apears U have overfertilized ur plants. The tell tale are the curled leaf tips (all of them appear this way). If U desire further assistance please read this first>How to Ask for Grow Support

No... an extra drop or two of SuperThrive would not be your culprit.
They kind of look over nuted... but I sure wouldn't expect MG soil to cause that severe of an over-fert.... but the MG soil is the only possible ferts I can see, so I guess I'd point a finger at the ferts in the soil.
Cheers.

Yeah all i used so far is tap water that i let sit for a few days opened superthrive every 2-3days. So should i just throw the plant away is there any chance of it flowering?
Oh no... from the photos you've shown, they're really not that damaged at all.
I might suggest a good flush tho. A flush might help remove some of the nutes in the soil. You might even consider using a cleaning agent like Clearex to help clean out the nutes in the soil.
Cheers!

As suggested above a good flush with pH adjusted water will be good and back off the nutes slightly. Keep an eye on pH and nute EC/PPM each time you water and feed.

PH! I didn't think of that. The burning on the leaves looks too light to be a pure nute issue.
What PH is the water you've been feeding her, and what's the ph of the runoff?
Cheers!

ph been 7 sometimes a lil more i need to go buy bottled water i been using tap i heard spring or r/o would be good is that true?
I feed my soil babies PH6 water. It ususally comes out at 6.5ish. Do you have or know about PH adjustment chems? I use a powder called "PH Down". I add a bit, test the water, add a bit more, test the water... you get the idea.... till I get to 6.0. If you go with additives like nutes or what not, be sure to test the PH after you add the additives.
Spring water might be fine, but you really don't know what's in it.... could be full of minerals that might cause issues. R/O is usally fine. Bottled might be ok... depending on the filtration process.
Whatever water you use... test it and adjust it as needed.
Cheers!

The 3 way soil meter lies. Never trust them for anything other than a general moisture reading. Get a test kit or a ph meter. I'm wouldn't purchase PH up unless you know you need it. I've never adjusted up.
When to flower is an interesting question. You can flower at pretty much any time once your plants mature. You plants appear to be mature enough for flowering.
Your flowering decisions should be based on space and timing.
Most growers will thell you that the plants will double in size between the start of the flowering cycle and harvest.
Of course, if your plant grows larger in veg before you flower it, you'll get much bigger yeild, so your goal should be to keep them in veg as long as possible. If you have the room and time to grow an MJ tree, why not?
Hope this helps!

Oh no... there's no set number on the veg time. Just limited by time and space. Of course, you don't want to send them into flower when they're immature. I use the leaf nodes as my maturity signal. You'll notice that the young leaf nodes come out of the main stem evenly... one on each side of the main stem. As your plant matures, the new stems will grow in an alternating manor.

Hey, hope anything I say helps.
Vegging is the time the plants has for initial growth. Veg time is controlled by having lights on either 24 hrs on and 0 hours off (24/0) OR 18 hours on and 6 hours off (18/6). As Tead said, growers will say plants will about double in height by the end of flowering. This also depends on the strain. Some triple or more in height. Do some research on strains you acquire... find out before hand about how much the strain tends to grow. Once your plant is "matured" and you have reached the vegging height you desire... Switch the light schedule to 12 hours on and 12 hours off (12/12). This will start the budding process... aka. Flowering.
Most strains will be done flowering approx 8-11 weeks after lights were turned to 12/12... depending on strain. Again, research the "flowering time" if possible. Once plants have developed buds in the alloted 8-11 weeks they will form many THC heads or trichomes. This will change color as the plant matures and will let you know when to harvest.
Ok. From now on..do NOT use Miricle Grow. Its crap. I suggest sticking to Fox Farm Soil. It comes with enough nutrients in the soil already to supply the plant for the first 30 days. When you give nuts to your plants... Dont use the amount suggested on the bottle. Use a little less and work your way up. See how your plants react to the quantities of the nuts. Check your water runoff after watering and compare it to the pH of the water before used. You want the mixture of your soil and water to be around 6.5 on your run-off.
Ok ima go smoke another bowl. lol

Dank Budz speaks wise words. I must say tho... I'd be super careful with nutes and MG soil. If it were me, I probably wouldn't nute anything in MG soil. You don't have any control over their time-released ferts and it's super easy to burn your babies.
Cheers!

Thanks Tead.
MG has all the extra shit added to it already that will not help you produce good pot. When you do your transplant... use Fox Farm Soil.

I made the move from MG to FFOF recently. Best thing I ever did.
