    Your supposed to change your nutes to bloom got whatever company that you use. New batches can help avoid issues with deficiencies with salt build up etc
     
  3. By the way what type a rez is that..
     
  4. Yes you can put your girl(s) to flower even if you have veg nutes in the rezzy..
    Ya can't diagnose a plant from a single pic from a single leave..maybe backoff on the nutes a tad..

    Yea dump it wipe it down n start fresh with bloom you'll need a Lil veg during first weeks in some nutes mine needed 1 week of extra veg nutes(nitrogen). I did 2 weeks and she eagle clawed on all the leaves I think that made my bud swell suffer too so beware
     
  7. I have technaflora for nutrientes and i will be putting in flower nutes for the first time. Should I go full strength or 50 %?
     
  8. [quote name='"XandarCrown"']Check this out. The feed chart for your nutrients. Hopefully this helps!

    I have that sheet.. But I would Like to know if I have to put a 50% solution or 75% I'm not sure how much to put...any help be highly appreciated ...thanks gc
     
  9. That leaf looks like nitrogen toxicity to me. Scale back your feed i say
     
  10. +1. Just what I was about to say. Definitely let the plant use up those nitrogen reserves and change your regime to lower the N in the feed or you'll definitely have problems in flower.

    Ok I will do that ... But I was going to put them in flowering..so should I wait to do that or go ahead with flowering ...Im going to put flowering nutes..what do u think I should do bro ?
     
  12. Start your flowering nutes anyway. It'll be a good idea to do that to lower the nitrogen content of what they're getting. Let them burn off some of that excess N, then flip the switch in a few days.

    The plants will use up a good bit of nitrogen through the first 2 weeks of 12/12, but make sure there's not too much in there when proper flowers begin to form otherwise the plant will produce leaf as much as bud, and imo you increase the chance of hermies. It's a really bad look seeing plants with too much nitrogen in flower. I'd rather see a pale leaf every time. Dark green and shiny/waxy foliage is the first sign of too much, usually clawing of the tips too.

    Back off your feeds completely and let the plant use up some of it's reserves, then go from there. Be gentle with your food through flower. Buds form better when they're just underfed than when they're overcooked, especially with N.

    So let me recap. I should add the flowering nutes ,but leave them 18/6 with flowering nutes for about two weeks till they gets low on n and then switch to 12/12. Did I get that right?
     
  14. Yeah that's what I meant, but I was talking days, not weeks. The idea isn't to let them starve or anything, it's just a rough guide. Do what you feel, but base everything on the look of your plants. Other people will be able to give you a better guide to adjusting your feed using your method, I'm a hand watered coco fella myself, but the problems still look the same.

    You should post pictures of the whole plant and people can guide you as you go.

    Now let me ask you this ... I'm not sure if its ok for the lower branches to be as long as the main stem ... Can you see what I'm taking about ?
     
  19. no, thats what you want is the lower branches to be as high as the main stem so you get a bunch of nice fat colas from them, it looks good

    when you switch to 12/12 your plant makes a one last big stretch for the light, the lower stuff should stretch alot in attempts to get closer to the light
