  2. Looks like a Nitrogen def to me.

    Are the stems/stalk purple?
     
  3. Yes they are.. but they turned purple after I supercropped the main stem.

    Should I up my nitrogen? Right now I'm using 2 tsp a gallon (following FF schedule)
     
  4. Yikes, that seems like a whole bunch to me.

    3 weeks into flower you probably want to back off on the N and move to P&K (which is the determinate of the bud size and weight).

    Hope's this helps.
     
  5. Really?

    I'm following the FF feeding schedule. 2nd and 3rd week u feed them 2tsp of tiger bloom n grow big and a tbls of big bloom.
     
  6. I dunno bro, haven't used FF as my primary source of food for sometime now. Although just recently I ran out of bacteria and had to use some grow big for a N boost. But then I used 1/8 teaspoon (measured) into 12 oz of water, and then immediately followed that with a gallon of good ole Zero ppm water.

    Did you ever measure the PPM's?

    Sorry, I couldn't help more :(
     
  7. There is an imminent P deficiency
    rearing its ugly head.

    Also...

    If my calculations are correct - u only have 92w
    of light. That is not even the minimum requirement
    for one plant. U need at least 100w, and the more the better.

    Also...the high 80s is bad for weed. Aim for 75 - 80.

    Your budz will look alot happier.

    Freak
    :smoke:
     
  8. Put that damn calculator away.

    You're making my head spin with those numbers.

    BTW, I thought it was a function of lumens per square foot. But, wtf, does an old man know? I'm lost in a world of bacteria/fungi/algae
     
  9. It is exactly that Pa - lum/sq ft. Floro puts out very limited lumens.
    Thats why they have to be so close to the plants.

    By looking at those bud shots, I can tell that the light
    is way inefficient. They are sickly looking (sorry op),
    and the only thing that will perk them up is more
    lumens/sq ft.

    Freak
    :smoke:
     
  10. Throw the feeding schedule in the trash can and listen to your plants. Every strain is different so you can't trust a printed schedule.
