Hi guys 1st time grower here, I’m growing wedding cake strain It’s about a month into the flowering stage and 3 months in total. Temp can range anywhere from 75-79 F Humidity is at 50% Feeding it Flower Fuel I’ll attach some photos of it. Any feedback would be great. Thanks
Haha, I can tell! The process so far has been nothing short of awesome. Haven’t bumped into any issues besides this one. With your experience, could you tell what my problem could be?
You need to describe what media, pH, EC details. Are you only feeding 1-34-32? That's just booster. I would use that in the last stages of life, which will end up sucking up the nitrogen out of the fan leaves, letting them fade out to yellow and purple... which is exactly what they are doing.
Yes so I’m growing it in soil, the PH is normally at 6.0-6.2. I’m only feeding it the booster, I wasn’t aware that it was only a booster, so that explains that. I do have some Fox Farm Tiger Bloom (2-8-4). You think that fertilizer will do the trick?

not that different for a fertilizer. I mean, you need to read the label and see what is actually inside. Three major nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K). You don't need tremendous amounts of P. You also need Calcium, Sulfur, Magnesium, and a bunch of micronutrients as well. Moreover, if you add too much of one nutrient, it can lock out the others. I'm also not the best fan of 'soil'. What is it? Is it peat moss? or a mix? some organic mixture? And what kind of pots are you using? These seem like wtf questions, but they are important as they determine what methods you should employ. How are you measuring the pH in the soil? Did you measure the pH of the solution (with a pen?) and do you measure the pH of the soil with a stick instrument? or the pH of the runoff? Are you feeding to runoff? There is a learning curve to growing cannabis and it can't be ignored or you run into problems. I personally wouldn't use those nutes. I prefer DTW in coco/perlite and suggest using Maxibloom + calmag for learning (or even forever). But that doesn't mean that Tiger Bloom is bad. Did you check the schedule for using the nutes?
No I def agree with these questions your asking being important, greatly appreciate the help too. I’d have to get more familiar with those DTW systems for the next grow. But from what I’ve read, the coco/perlite seems to be the chosen method for most growers. I currently have a organic mixture and I’m using a fabric pot For the moment, I only measure the pH of the water being poured but not of the run off nor of the soil. I’m using a pH pen. Like you mentioned, things that I’m learning through out but can’t be ignored.
which is the most alien to my methods. you need to consider the media's pH (ie. the soil's pH). Being in organic, all you should need to add is water, but ... people add amendments to their organic soils as well. They normally use like guano tea or some organic concoction. I have several recipes I've collected, but this isn't my regular method. I'm mostly a hydroponic grower, but even there, you find organic hydro growers, which I am not. I do think using the Tiger Bloom is a better option in this case. I would try a week of F(eed) W(ater) D(ry) cycling with her, perhaps try a week of F/W/F/W/F/W/D (7 days). I would increase the feeding pH to ~6.5. If she is getting too wet, then just F/D/W/D/F/D etc.. The booster/finisher is good as well, but u use that in the last couple weeks or so; some people add in the middle of the flower schedule to augment the P&K values.
