your top dress was gaia?
how much did you use too top dress?
3 tablespoons per gallon after a month of being transplanted into the 5 gallon fabric pots. Plus top dressed with half cup of worm casting. But shortly after that i did a couple watering of the bloom boost as well.
 
I don't know about those specific Coast of Maine product but their soil when I used it last was full of nutes, I went 4 or 5 weeks without feeding, for their soil line they make the claim of water only germ to harvest if I remember (obviously assuming you transplant appropriately.

my bet is too much too soon and improper watering habits
I've done a couple runs with it with no issues. First run was flawless. Second has mag deficiency and 3rd is going well. This run though has got be scratching my head.
 
I use 5-gallon fabric pots and they usually take slightly less than a gallon of water.

I'm not recommending anything, but I'm wondering about the temperature and humidity in the tent, because slow growth and little water consumption can sometimes be attributed to low temperature. It's just a thought.

The environment is dialed in... Got ac, heat and dehumidifier in the grow shed. I'm always worried about over watering so ya, i prob could water more when watering. On the flip side though i do have to transport ten gallons at a time from local spring. My well water isn't fit for the girls, lol.

Granddaddy purple growing in.3x3 under spider se3000. Lights set at 30%. Organic living soil amended with Gaia green 444 and worm castings. Thought mag def so let soil dry added epsom salt to dressed and foliar spray with diluted epsom salt. No real difference, soil ph done with bluelab soil ph pen is ranging in all pots between 5.9-6.4. Thought also potassium so let dry out again and added bloom fert for mag and potassium and still no change. They are not drinking and dry out time takes forever so in between cycles of trying different things this has gone on for months. I wait to see for weeks if things change before moving on. Slurry tests indicate soil ph is fine as well. Scratching my head. No bugs, so what else am i missing.

Flush,flush,flush start over w about 1/2 the amounts of nutes. I had same issues before. Anytime I do so I flush. U can check the ppm of the run off and see how hot it is. That's the great thing about growing n soil. You can always flush and adjust...
Flush and adjust, that's what I say man....

That's one thing i forgot to check...ppm runoff. Appreciate the advice.

How bad is the well water??? Im using city water and my city water is terrible
 
I have been growing weed for over 35 years, I've been watching you squirm all around buying this & is comical, AT 1st grew it without any fertilizers or anything except water, and over the years I've been using Epsom salts & African violet fertilizer, but been watching a guy from Canada that been growing long before me and using miracle grow fertilizers, it's so much easier to grow than it was back in the day I don't have any issues with growing as I read it's only a weed grows on its own, it's 1 of the easiest things to grow, hell tomatoes are harder, lol,,, you put too much into this

I run into a recurring problem every time I get within 2 or 3 weeks of harvesting. They just quit drinking water. I cut nutes in half this time and still it happens. I just spent yesterday flushing 2 plants that r pretty close to harvest because they are doing the same thing. So idk, it's just a learning process. I might be screaming for help my dam self if they don't start acting right....

Well regardless of what I've done there's still a deficiency or issue with something. Trust my i don't over complicate it just trying to get them healthy. Gaia is very simple and about as easy as it gets. Other things purchased have been to try to fix issues along the way. Thanks for feedback!

Yup, I'm at the flushing process now unless sometime chimes in with another alternative. I feel I've tried most everything i personally can think of. Maybe a reset is in order.

and what?..
by the photos you have on your profile you definitely still have learning to do..
be nice!..

did you flush?
i said not too..
your issue is overfeeding and incorrect watering..
flushing will just make issues worse as your plant is stressed and weaken..

post pictures of plants/leafs..
 
I thought about that as well but with only having added gaia at recommended doses. Then after time elapsed i added the bloom boost. But if they weren't feeding maybe all that hit at once? Maybe flush the soil?
You fed on top of gaia? The gaia takes time and microbes to break down and become available. Probably about that time you added bloom and cooked them. Do water only for a bit, your don't need nutes with gaia green in there

That is normal near the end
 
Part of the reason I hardly get on here anymore, to many 35 yr growing gods . Don't want to put u down w game. Would rather just talk down on a person and try to help them out.
Not to offend anyone but I've been fucking for 25 years and I'm no porn star 😂 you can do something indefinitely and never become an expert.
Experience plus actual research/knowledge/wullingness to learn is the key.
 
flushing, flushes nutes from the medium, it does not change nutes in the plant.. it changes what is available to the plant in the medium

it can be used to sort of 'reset' improper feeding
