this is why a lot of good folks dont come around here anymore.. the misinformation spread by rookies is incredible.
like i stated in my first post. your problem is you have made a mess of your medium. your ph and ec is out of wack, and your plants arent growing because of it. they will sit there and do nothing for a few weeks, then start to ripen and finish their cycle.
if you want to try and get her back on track, then u need to flush with a mild nutrient solution at 5.7ph. if your in a 3 gallon pot then u need to put 9 gallons of water through each pot.. then check your runoff and see where the medium is at. if its not right, guess what, more water.
your not allowing enough runoff for your feeds with coco. coco needs a shit ton of runoff unless ur doing weekly flushes. 25-35% runoff is completely normal for coco and you want to do really heavy feeds to flush out salts.
your plants might not be showing a deficiency, but that doesnt matter. they dont have to initially. they will eventually though if you dont act now. and honestly i think its far worse for the plant to just sit there and not do anything rather then show some deficiencies so u know something is up, make the proper adjustment and move on.
this is why u should be doing runoff checks with every watering. your runoff is everything, and tells u how u should be watering. ESPECIALLY WITH COCO.
your plant will take at least a week to start growing again, and it wont yield much at all by the time its done. you cant just "add more time" to a plant and expect it to finish like a plant that wasnt fucked up and stressed. it doesnt work like that. u can give it another week or two extra but its not going to be anywhere near what a healthy happy plant would have been.
cutting out the bloom nutes is one of the worst suggestions ive heard. that is almost the exact opposite of what u would want to do. u want to cut the bloom boosters, and give them a light feed as a flush. then u need to recharge the medium after its flushed because of cocos CEC.
its pretty easy to post problems online and get overwhelmed with all the suggestions that will just steer you in a completely wrong way. especially when its a bunch of growers who have only been doin this a couple years pulling advise out of their asses.
just my .02.. ill leave you guys to it.
And maybe someone could recommend a strategy on how to go about feeding my coco as to when to flush and or light dose of nutes whatever I think u guys get what I am trying to say...I would think maybe every 5 feedings or so???for veg but would that work for flowering plants as well???
35 post and your a master ? .......you never stop learning Empire
I run coco with no runoff except when I flush my first observation was a quick guess now that their is more info I would say that you didnt have enough K and and Cal mag in the first 3 weeks of bloom to get that good bud set this is why you dont see alot of stress signs its not stress they just didnt have what they needed when they needed it
and hay empire if you dont like the internet why are you here ?
and if anybody on here takes something said on here as fact without reasearching it than growing isnt their problem is it ?
and I proly cut more trim off my buds than you have ever seen their empire
sorry Rushoe didnt meen to go off topic but we are here to help other farmers not piss and moan about their internet experiances ...........again I am sorry but guys like this get to me give your info or dont but dont knock others for trying
hay Rushoe why did you change from GH their luquid kool bloom is a good bud set nute along with epsom salt fro the cal-mag
coco is a ph stable medium. i'm thinkin u did something to push em back a week or so. loooooooooong ago my dumbass transplanted a plant about 5 days in flowering this was when i was a lil whipper snapper and used to panic over nothing so needless to say transplanted it sloppy. it pushed it back 2 wks, took a month to see pistils. now i have surgeon like trans skill in any medium container or container size no longer matters. i've had plants so big i had to trans from a ladder lol. good luck bro. coco does have salt buildup issues which can be hazardous to plant nutrition i'm sure u already flushed empires advice is about right. i'd add an enzyme prod in the flush to clean medium of salts.
hows air movement in room and exhaust? the leaf stems are purple at least in the picture. you could try lowering ppm to 1100. you also could run the nute line without calmag for one feed. the canopy is thick you could lst them to have more light hitting the sights. if you have a lot of undergrowth your tops wont be that impressive, but thats not only prob. i run hydro. just tryn to put in my 2 cents.
man rush this is a bummer i hope its getting better now. are you starting to get trich coverage? i remeber talking with you and you saying you were gonna try some other stuff, and being like...i don't know man. hopefully this is just a miner set back. if u get a good formula for chem d it will give you the 2 a light. she needs a good amount of cal-mag till around 35-40 days before you cut it out. and right around 40-45 days is when shes in peak bloom. i cut her anywhere from 63-70 days. since you had a bit of a set back definitely go the 70 days.
good luck rushoe hope every harvest is a bumber
not sure what a bumber is lol but thanx man I hope it ends up giving something usable
thats about all you can do just watch them when their done their done
you know .......your thinking is right on track if they got put in stress stasis that time is not in the equation kinda like cryogenics they didnt do anything in that period so it dont count and we dont get do overs lol
but yeah when they look like they are 3-4 weeks till finish then use the final bloom enhancer .............good luck and you see it under my name:bow
