You didn't fix anything, you actually made it worse and you've been using Biobizz the wrong way, but it's not the end of the world :) Feed 1-4 ml/L Bio-Grow* + 4-6 ml/L Bio-Bloom + 1 ml/L Top-Max + 4-6 ml/L Alc-a-mic (every watering until pre-harvest flush) Bump Top-Max to 4-6 ml/L in 1-2 weeks. * Depending on how pre-fertilized your soil-mix is Still 3-6 weeks to go. A bit of Biobizz tips: 0. Get another nute brand that's easy to work with, that's what I did after using Biobizz for 8 years :) 1. NEVER pH anything except input water to 7.0 BEFORE addding Biobizz nutes 2. NEVER flush Biobizz nutes out to correct things - only 2 weeks before harvest 3. Biobizz reacts slowly, what you do today won't show until 1-2 week(s) later - you have to *know* what to do before you see what you have to do 4- Measuring run-off pH is not something you do in organic grows, it won't tell you anything useful - you're building a micro biome in the soil, not balancing chemicals. 5. NEVER grow with Biobizz without using Alc-a-mic 6. Don't use Biobizz if you're a beginner, it's quite difficult to grow with - personally I would only ever use it outdoors in the ground or in raised beds

get some garden wire or support that bent over cola one way or another -- it'll only get worse as it adds weight. Als, don't want it resting on the wall. it might grow mold or rot. long time.. don't start counting days yet. that thing has a lot of ripening to do.

Hi, so if it was planted in soil, a pH of 6.9 is still too high; it should be around 6.5. So I think your plant has a nutrient lockout because if the pH in the soil isn't right, it can't absorb nutrients even if you fertilize it more. This leads to even more salts in the soil and creates a worse pH again. Due to the lockout, your plant is losing time and the buds won't grow. I would keep flushing with regulated pH down water until the runoff is below 6.5. And once it recovers, you can probably harvest it soon. Forget the fertilizer.
