Day 17-18 of Flower.... The plants fully rebounded after being taken back to just plain water with CaMg+ ... So I will try doing try the "Bloom," again but at 1/2 the amount I was feeding when they were apparently taking some Nute Burn.

9 week Flowering time for this strain... Love opening my tent each evening at 8pm :)

Finally getting the watering down.

Need to start researching how to Harvest, Dry and Cure. I have looked at the basics but I know there is a lot more to this... I want to make sure I utilize my clippings/trim for edibles :)

I don't see any nutes burn. I see hungry plants with small, stunted buds due to all the best leaves cut off.

That would be because 95% of the leafs that had nute burn were cut off.

The plants were just watered yesterday (Sunday Night)... I have been going 4 days between watering now, which seems to be working.

Next feed will be RO water + 2 teaspoons of CaMg+ per gallon (heavy feed) + 1teaspoon per gallon of BioThrive Grow + 1teaspoon per gallon BioThrive Bloom (both these are 1/2 the recommended Light Feed).... Not sure if it is too late in the Grow to be giving them the BioThrive Grow or not

Once a fan leaf suffers nute burn it can not become healthy again, right? It is best to just cut that leaf off and save the plant from wasting energy?

Before the rust-spots would show the day after watering.

It wasn't nutes burn. It was lockout from improper watering.imo. a couple lil spots on a leaf is no reason to cut it off.

Hammer, I water mine every couple of days, once i notice that they need water, ill do cal/mag ive noticed that mine have started to take 2-3 gallons total for all 5 plants. Then a few days later when they need to be watered (I dont let them get dry where the dirt is brown) i add my nutrients with cal/mag.

Yeah about the same here. when I watered them the other day (at the 4 day mark, I usually water every 3 days), each plant took almost 1gal of water. I am also not in 5gal pots, but 3.6gal pots. Makes a difference in terms of the amount of soil and it's carry capacity for full saturation.

So you do not add nutrients to your water every single time you water? you do every other watering? maybe that was part of my problem too, and why I was getting nute burn. I was watering with CaMg and "heavy feed," of BioThrive Bloom on every single feed single it started Flowering 19 days ago (so probably 5 feeds)... I will try skipping a feed like you do.

I should have went with FoxFarm nutes. I didn't even know they had a line.

I ended up with General Organics BioThrive Grow and Bloom... And CaMg+... So 3 total.

I will cut back the nutes back to every other feeding. The ladies are looking much better and "happier," since I cut it out of the last watering.

Pictures to come later tonight or tomorrow. I checked the plants yesterday and some fan leafs are now showing signs of cal deficiency... They are scheduled to be watered tonight or possibly tomorrow and will be getting CaMg+ added in as usual... Can/Should I add epsom salt to their feed?

Plants are at Day 21 of Flower :)

I did manage to bend and weave that super tall part in the middle down. So there is a more even canopy now....

How do I fix my Cal deficiency? Spray leafs with an epsom salt + water spray?

I just watered last might with CaMg so I am hoping that helps but I have been seeing this deficiency more now.... So I may need some source for additional Ca between feedings

Thanks

Will try to remember a new picture when lights come on. Im really not a fan of this 8pm-8am cycle.
