What do you guys think about my plant? I should have bought Potassium Nitogen and Phosphorus separately.

PK boosters, as you're feeding them with now, are great ADDITIONS to a feeding program but they still need regular Bloom nutrients as they will supply the plant with the full range of nutrients needed during the flowering stage - not JUST potassium and phosphorus... so it really isn't good that that's all you're giving her right now. Plants in flower actually need nitrogen, just not as much as in the veg state - but Bloom nutes take that into account and the nitrogen concentrations in them is far less than in grow nutes.. There's absolutely NO need to flush your plant as Nugsery suggests... no call for it at all.... just get some Bloom nutes going along with the PK and she'll be fine. Good luck!

looks like it needs a little N -- but eliminate othe possbilities.. like nutrient lockout or pH imbalnce paling starting at bottom of plant and moving from tip-in on leaf = n def on surface... dig deeper to be sure.

I see no indication this is locked up or in need of a flush. As grannie said, looks like you need some N or at least a full spectrum flowering nute which will have N in it along with other macros and micros.

Oh Nugsery is SO bloody desperate to "win" a point in the contest here (which I am not a part of) that he reads MY answer, then removes his answer and then pastes it back in at the top adding in the advice to give Bloom nutes he completely forgot/didn't know AND adds a bit about pH because I mentioned it (should have taken a screenshot of his FIRST attempt)... but why? Thinks growers won't read his garbage if it's at the bottom? Thinks growers won't read through ALL answers before deciding whose advice to take? Desperation, thy name is Nugsery... Now let's see if he does it again....

High, good that you are using the PK 13/14 now but you also need to feed with a Basic Blooming nutrient. From this moment till flushing 2 weeks before harvest the solution that you give can have EC 1.6 And make sure that the pH is around 6.5 There is still too much Nitrogen in the soil. You need to flush the Nitrogen out. Just follow these steps to flush out the Nitrogen from the soil. Make up water with low levels of nutrients (1/4 strength or adviced dose from the PK 13/14). You want to take out the bad and replace with the good. Give 3x the pot size – Use enough water so that you're giving the plant 3x as much water as the volume of the pot. It may take a little while. Remove all runoff water immediately, you don't want your plant to suck the bad stuff back up! Give regular strength nutrients at the end – Make up one last batch of nutrient water at regular strength, and give this to your plants. You are replacing what you took out with what you want to be there – fresh, pH'ed nutrient water! Make sure there is a fan blowing over the top of the growing medium to help it dry out so plants don't get as droopy from being overwatered. There should be plenty of air circulation in the grow space, with access to lots of fresh air. Raise your grow lights up a few inches while your plant is recovering. Your plant definitely needs plenty of light, but you don't want to make it work too hard during the recovery period. Wait a few days for improvement – Although your plant may get droopy at first, you should start to see improvement within a few days. Try not to water it again until the top inch is starting to dry. It's not recommended to flush a plant two times in a row. After the first flush you should have flushed out what was hurting the plant in the soil. At this point, it's time to give your plants some TLC while you get things back on track.

I've been looking at your diary again and think you've probably got a second problem that is much more likely than a nute issue... you're not giving us any info on the pH you've been maintaining for this grow.... and that is absolutely critical. If you've not been measuring it, I think you'll find that the pH is way off from where it should be. You need to maintain a pH between 6.0 and 6.5 in a soil grow for the nutrients to be available to the plant in healthy amounts. If you don't have a pH pen, consider investing in one (it dramatically improved ALL my grows once I finally got one) - or at least get the pH strips or SOMETHING! - I would almost bet my bottom dollar this is the most serious problem you've got here.... I don't know if you can get Amazon to deliver to you or not but even if not, I'm going to give you some links to the options that you have so you can look in your stores for similar products: Inexpensive meter: https://smile.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-0-05ph-Accuracy-Readout-Temperature/dp/B06XKMH86J/ Test strips: https://smile.amazon.com/pH-1-14-Extensive-Storage-Testing-Monitoring/dp/B0811PYS6T/ Test drops: https://smile.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-Test-Kit-1-Ounce/dp/B000BT32UA/ Good luck!
