Buds are starting to fill in.
I defoliated a little this week and also LSTd two stems.
I gave it a light final top dress today which I believe was a great time as the leaves are starting to fade.
I've got a serious issue. Started 3-4 days ago, right after adding nutrients and increasing light.
Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon.
Both new and old growth is being effected.
Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much.
I'm seriously want to try dry amendments. Just curious on when your last feed is? How do you know when to feed? I'm sure it depends on the strain but on average would it be around 5th week of flower?

@Swoosh, The Gaia Green that i use for my main feeding is recommended to last a month. With Autos running roughly 12 weeks you need to feed from seedling, 4 weeks in typically when she kicks over into flowering, and your last feeding being 8 weeks in. Your last feeding should be 4 weeks out from expected harvest to ensure there are no nutrients remaining in your medium. This will produce a much better product in the end.
Photo periods you really need to plan ahead because you still need to follow the same 4 week feeding pattern but she won't flower until the light cycle switches and depending on the strain they flower different lengths. There are also some strains that require more nutrients than others.
You really need to watch your leaves and overall plant as she will tell you what she is missing. Keep in mind when you feed dry amendments (organic) it takes time for the plant to show improvement. I've notice for me a week - a week and a half.
Hopefully this helps and happy harvest!
