Go slow on how much you give them. Overfeed and your harvest will suffer. A little underfed is always the best way to go for big buds. Cheers

Plant health assessment (Leaf coloring and nutrition help)
Sorry for bombarding you guys with questions, but it's getting serious now, right? Anyway, my leaves are getting funky colors and I do wonder, what is causing this? Is this normal? I have used the bloom nutes as in my diary once this week, rest was distilled watering.

Overfeeding in flower, Flushing in Coco Coir
Hi my plants are very dark green due to overfeeding: I mistakenly fed 4ml/L of Canna Coco A&B for over a week, although 3.5ml is the recommended amount by Canna Now the buds smell pretty bad Should I flush with water, or just half strength nutes? Would this affect my yield? Thx

Should I Foliar Feed After 2nd Week Flower?
I've been toying with the idea of a foliar feed during flower. I normally don't do any foliar feeds after the second week of flower, just to help prevent contamination or buildup of non-medicines in my final product. Any suggestions as to what i should feed my lil purple budling?

Advice?
Anyone think I should give her some fox farm Grow Big? Since she seems to be growing at a slower rate than others. Maybe I'm just paranoid...

Michor Riza
Hi, growmates! I've got a small trouble: forgot to put 'Michor Riza' under the siblings roots. Any tips how to fix this? Mb I can put MR spores in water? Or putting it in when I'll do transplantation (from 8l. to 15) will do the job?

Confused about PPM and pre-amended soil and knowing which ppm to sart feeding.
What should my ppm be when I began to start feeding nutrients? My soil has nutrients pre-amended for the first 3 weeks, it's been three weeks and it's 1800 (my tap water is 200). That seems pretty high for 3 weeks after the plants have been in the soil. Thanks!

would it be a problem to change the nutrient family in the first week of flowering?
in the hope of a better taste, I would replace my well-proven nutrition family with nutrients from an “advanced nutrients” company. would it be a problem? I found two nutrition guides, which should I use?

Nitrogen toxicity?
Do you think this is Nitrogen toxicity? I'm going in soil that has pre-added nuits, so only giving plant water PH6.5 Considered raising PH to 7 to reduce absorption, or should I just continue and plant may get use to the medium?

Nutes question. (They’re listed in diary)
I am finding it really difficult to feed. I can’t seem to get the right mixture of things, and is it okay to mix it all in one gallon. What ppm should I reach for? Do I adjust the waters pH prior to adding nutrients assuming it’ll increase after adding nutes.
