Last night I was doing my regular foliar feeding. I noticed a container on the shelf that said Nutri-mix. It was left over from a few years back. So I mixed some in with my other ferts. This morning my leaves were all curled and i assume maybe I got mixed up with some lawn spray that was labled wrong. Is ther anything I can do after the fact or is it game over??

Only chance was to wash it off with lots of water right away. If leaves are curled, its in the plant doing its job, whatever that is.

Oh. It's doing its job alright. It's game over for me. Everyone do yourself a favor. Keep your go-to juice separate from your herbicides. Good luck to you all this season.

Sorry to hear. Maybe wait a few days to pull the plant.

Some chemicals burn only where they contact the leaf but you would still have to have lots of tertiary buds and wait a couple weeks. I want to do some things different next year. I'm sure you arent the only person who might already be thinking about next year. Enjoy the time off / less work.

Ya. I will wait. It doesn't look any worse today. Leaves aren't Browning. If it recovers from this it would be a miracle. Will try to send a pic.

i would water a little more aggressively in the meantime; your plant probably has a huge hangover, and what is OUR first inclination? to drink lots of water---eg

LOL---i feel like crap today after ONE Twisted Tea with a movie last night--whatever used to make drinking FUN is over for me, lol---i mean, boo-hoo. Gotta switch to Non-Twisted, i guess! good luck, nonetheless---eg

She would never say this out loud, but inside I am sure my wife is likely sighing with releif. In a way, a year off doesnt sound like such a bad thing to me either.
