If you’ve over-fertilized your cannabis plants, it’s important to take immediate measures to prevent further harm. To start, it’s essential to determine the severity of the issue, as this will help you decide on the best course of action to keep your plants healthy.
First, you should flush your soil with clean, pH balanced water. Flushing your soil will help remove excessive nutrients and salts that could be damaging your plants. It is best to use non-chlorinated water, as chlorinated water can damage sensitive plant roots. Also, make sure to water the soil thoroughly by allowing it to run out of the bottom of the pot. Do this until you’ve achieved a sizable runoff.
If your plants are still showing signs of distress, then you should move them to a shadier area, as too much sun can exacerbate the issue. In addition, you should also reduce feedings to every two weeks or less. This will help prevent any further nutrient buildup. You should also use a fertilizer that is designed for cannabis plants and apply it at the recommended rate.
Finally, once your plants start to show signs of improved health and growth, then you can slowly increase feedings and the amount of sunlight the plants are receiving. Make sure to monitor the plants regularly and irrigate them as soon as the soil starts to dry out.
By taking the time to properly assess the situation, determining the severity of the problem, and acting quickly, you can hopefully keep your plants healthy and thriving. If the issue persists, it’s important to get help from a professional grower, as they will be able to provide the best advice and solutions. Good luck and happy growing!
