Possible Nute Burn

[420Newbb]

Please help. First time grower. This is an auto flower starting the beginning of week 3. Almost overnight the two leaves in the photo seemed to have become crispy and discolored.
I'm using bottled nutrients (Flora series by General Hydroponics and Cal Mag). How often should I be watering and how much? The plant is in a 5 gallon flower pot.

Also should I cut off those two leaves?

How much nutes u feeding

What soil

Water/nutes pH

 

[420Newbb]

Everything is per gallon of water:
2 ML of Cal Mag, 1 ml of micro, 1 ml of gro, and .5 ml of bloom
I was told to have the waters pH balance changed with different feedings because the plant intakes nutrients at different levels. But everything is in between 5.6-6.4
And I know this is a mistake I made but I used miracle grow organics.
Also you lost me at "water/nutes pH"
Thank you!!

Miracle grow with time release nutes?

 

[420Newbb]

There was the in ground and the potting stuff. I got the potting... Someone once told me this was a mistake. Did this mess things up for me?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Does it have time release nutes in it

 

[420Newbb]

To be honest I didn't know that was a thing. Time released. It says feeds up to 3 months so I think that means time released?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Yup


Honestly I'd get some Promix HP or Sunshine mix #4

Or you will struggle all grow

 

[420Newbb]

Can I transfer it or will that ruin the autoflower. Also should I cut the leaves off or just scrap the plant and start over?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I'd re plant it, but that's me

 

[Canadadoes]

Woah! Why scrap? Definitely just replant and move forward.

 

[Canadadoes]

I’m also gonna go out on a limb and say these leaves touch the soil after you’ve fed?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Was my thought too...but more issues than just leaves touching the dirt...

 

[420Newbb]

Yes. I think when I fed them the water got on the leaves. I just read that can really mess your leaves up

 

[Canadadoes]

Chris is way more knowledgeable than myself, I’m just going by a similar experience I had. Where my bottom first serrated leafs were touching the soil. After I started to feed with nutrients I noticed only those 2 touching the soil were yellowing. I ended up waiting for more nodes then cutting off the lowest one including the growth tips. i dont have autos though.

why any nutes at this point? lay off the nutes and just give plain water, pot size is fine. you can clip the dead leaves or leave them. miracle grow is definitely a no no.
