Nutrient buildup

Tommy716
Tommy716started grow question 2 years ago
So I'm 3.5 weeks into my 12/12 flowering stage all is well so far.. Now my plants were showing some signs of nutrient buildup. I just flushed them and I'm wondering how long before I go back to regular feeding schedule? No real signs any input is greatly appreciated.

I think your good brother. A lot of stuff starts happening at about 3 weeks flower. I've noticed. 🍃 sharpen. Colors change. Moisture changes. I always think my plants are needy. Normally their not. My opinion is that you are on track and looking good. Good luck.

If you've flushed your plants (3x the pot volume of water) and didn't give them any nutes at the very end of that process, then as soon as they're dry, give them a 1/2 strength dose of the nutes you were using - cutting the Grow Big down even further than that. I used to use Fox Farm and it's the Grow Big that was the culprit each and every time I had a deficiency - it's got WAY too much nitrogen in it. Going forward, if you don't want any furthe problems with your grow, you've GOT to cut Grow Big down to max 1 tsp. You can increase your Big Bloom and add in Tiger Bloom as well... and any other PK booster you might have as this is what she's really needing at this point. Good luck!

Hola tommy716 tus plantas se ven bien no hay quemaduras por sobrealimentacion. Para que te quedes tranquilo puedes regar 3 o 4 dias con agua sin nutrientes. Ya que si hay un exceso de nutrientes tus plantas los absorberan en esos dias. Buena suerte.

impossible to see in the lights.. but better to try to deduce what is building up -- general sense or specific symtoms you can time to specific things - or at least an educated guess is really what it often comes down to. if a buildup occured slowly over time.. which if this is the first time you've seen it, probably true, then you can react more conservatively than a flush -- i see you are in soil, so this would translate for that contxt as an extra water only feed might be enough. then dial back nutes 5-10%... if you can deduce what is building up, you can tailor that adjustment to the problem... try to only reduce the components that contain the most of what is building up without reducing other things. what you were doing resulted in a buildup, but it took a long time to occur... so, you only need a small adjustment to the mix going forward to avoid the problem. context matters.. consider any changes you've made to feeding regimen. what i suggest assumes consistency before this point -- for the most part.. no drastic shifts being key.

Your plants don't look too bad at all pal. I'd give it 3 days off water feeds as I'd say they drink about a L of water easy . Even make 1 of the water feeds a calmag feed..250-300 ppm that's including tap will help. And then slowly start to reintroduce your feed. At a much less level. But they don't look burnt so I wouldn't say build up. Just need water for a few days. As they are very green.. so they'll feed in store for at least a few water's. Also. Id take to defol some of those big fan leafs. Lower your temp+rh. And it'll also transfer your energy from growing large leads to dense buds. Good luck

If you just flushed let them medium dry back. Then i would put them back on your feeding schedule. After i do a flush i go 1/2 strength then back to full.
