What are causes for thin buds and clawing sugar leafs in Living Soil?

She seems very healthy, with pretty dark green leafs, actually. Growin in living soil and I only feed CalMag every other watering and Silica only a few times in total. I also fed her ACT twice. Her buds grew tall, but stayed very thin, and more than half sugar leafs are clawing.

Buds. Not fattening

Hey there don’t worry most of the bid structure is genetics your plant has very old school genetics The curling of the tips of the leaves is most likely some root damage or possible heat stress also durring flower to much nitrogen can do that I assure you the buds will fatten up they prob won’t get to the size your imaging it take awhile to get it down where you have some massive buds but I promise the buds will fill it they normally fill in a lot after week 6 and 7 of flower so don’t chop them early the last week or 2 they put on a lot of weight and then buds tighten up I think your donning well so far

HI bud. I don't see any clawing but maybe that's just me. She is definitely getting enough nitrogen, that is clear. How are your watering habits? Are you letting the top 2-3 cm of soil dry out before watering again? Are you getting all of the soil moist and leaving no dry pockets? That's about the only thing that comes to mind at the moment. Hope that helps, even just a little.

Dark green + clawing + skinny buds sounds like too much nitrogen during flower. Living soil is great, but if N stays high and you don’t supplement PK, bud growth can stall. You might still get some weight if she's got time left – consider a mild PK boost and ease up on anything N-rich (like ACT if it had compost).

It seems to me like an excess of nitrogen, probably caused by the cal mag that you should only give when needed... you should increase phosphorus and potassium to give thickness to those buds.

It looks like she’s forming foxtails, and that could be due to light stress, either the lamp is too close or too intense. Set it to a maximum of 45 DLI to control that; you can download the Photone app and measure it with that. Or it could be too much nitrogen. Measure your runoff to see if the pH and EC values are right. The pH should be between 6 and 6.5, and the EC should be under 2.
