I think she looks quite good. The stems look to be thickening up a bit in anticipation of the bud weight, no?

Btw I would just ease up a little bit more on something else if you introduced tiger bloom. In general she looks good and the nute balance at this stage can be tricky as she settles fully into bloom production.

So like as a test take whatever else you have going w tiger bloom and cut one of those in half dosage wise and see what she looks like. But again, this part is inherently unstable as she goes fully into bloom and I think you're doing well.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Right now I’m just using the tiger bloom. I was half grow and half bloom at first but now that she’s 4 weeks in flower I stopped and just kept with the tiger bloom, half strength. So maybe shocked her too much at first?

Milson said:

Maybe try three quarters bloom and one quarter grow? I mean lower growth dying is not a huge deal but you do not want it spreading up too much. Again, this is all normal lol. You will know you should stop giving her grow if her leaves start getting super dark or you see the nitrogen claw. Toward the end you will almost certainly back off but maybe she still wants a bit more.

Every plant is a little different lol.

I noticed today that the top leave tips are now burned and clawing so I’m guessing I should probably stop the nuts for now Otherwise. These are my three fav colas so far!

Pics from this morning. I introduced tiger bloom nuts now that it finally came 2 weeks later so hoping this helps her some as well! I went light on nuts this first watering with the tiger bloom.View attachment 1025301View attachment 1025302View attachment 1025303

You should always go light

When starting to feed and work your way up to full strength.

Today is 4 weeks in flower. The buds seem to be thickening nicely so far. I’m not seeing any major issues so far, but am still seeing some of the lower level leaves dying and falling off and a lot of the tips are burned. Which some of it is old damage but I’m noticing it more up on the top part of the plant as well. I did introduce tiger bloom nuts a week ago, made sure PH was good after nuts were added, and still only watered at half strength. The second watering was with plain ph’d water and third watering today was half with nuts and half with plain water. Not sure if this is normal as the plant is putting a lot more energy into making buds. I’m not seeing any damage or signs of concerns around the buds themselves so I’m hoping that’s a good sign. I know they are a lot more finicky in the flower stage so hopefully I’m catching any issues right away.
Side note: my temp was getting too warm, around 80-84 and my humidity was too high, around 50-60% so I lowered my humidity to 30-35% and am still trying to get the temp down below 80 while the lights are on.[View attachment 1027714View attachment 1027715View attachment 1027716View attachment 1027718

Artic air sold at walmart look online a little personal cooler. Not an a.c but it does blow very cool air just add water . That will drop your temp a couple degrees at least.

I won’t be watering with any nutrients going forward. Even at quarter strength, I’m seeing more and more nut burn after each watering ph is on point with watering and on point when I check runoff. All I can think is it’s the nutrients. But tomorrow is 5 weeks in flower and she keeps looking more and more pretty so I’m just letting her do her thing again View attachment 1030626

You can try doing a soil slurry test if you want. But I think going just water for now is smart. I anticipate you will want to resume nutes in a bit. But yes, this is picking nits. She looks great!

Btw, have you tried a stem rub to see what she smells like? Just use clean hands to rub a bit of the stem and smell. By now you'll likely get something!

SyLane0988 said:

So I did the stem rub test and can definitely smell something but not sure what I’m looking for haha. Slight marijuana smell but mostly just that “plant” smell

Okay, you'll know. That marijuana smell will get way stronger over the next ten days is my bet.
