You've Created a Monster! Some More Questions about BioCanna and Veganic Supplements

So in doing what you guys recommended, I think I created a monster. I have been having more fading on the lower leaves of my Sour OG that I started from seed, and have been slowly working up my nutrient doses. When I kicked them over to Flowering 2 weeks ago, they were getting 10ml/gal with 10ml Hygrozyme and CaMg+ ever other watering or so. The fading started to pick up as they stretched so I bumped it up and still continued to have fading. I know I'm long winded so I'll make a long story short. This last feeding they got 2 days ago, I gave them 15ml Vega, 5ml Flores, 10ml Hygrozyme, and they are still fading at the bottom, and growing like the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors." I can tell that they are going to be monsters... The structure is laying itself out to be truly epic.

I guess most people would wonder why I am bitching. I wouldn't say it isn't so much in bitching, as it is concern. I just don't want to bump my ppm too high and burn them, which has happened in the past with a lot lower nutrient dosage, but I want to give them all the food that they want. The last time I bumped over 15ml, I burned my plants. I'm already at 20ml and its only week 2, lol. Are they going to be needing 40ml of food before I am done? Is this unheard of? The "schedule" peaks out at 15ml which I am assuming that the hybrid vigor is kicking in and this is why they are eating much more than normal. I normally would do a tea at week 4 of flowering, but I am kind of nervous to because the last time I did it, right before I send them into flowering, the fading got really bad, and the stems started turning purple. They are eating a gallon every 2 or so days now in 5 gallon pots.

On another note, the full line that I use is BioVega, BioBoost, BioFlores, Nitrozyme as a foliar, CaMg+, and occassional molasses in teas. I was thinking of adding humic acids, probably some GO Diamond Black. Any thoughts on the product? I am also considering adding some GO BioWeed into the mix during the veg, and some BioBud during flowering. When adding these to my nutrient mix, where should I start my food at dosage wise? Should I start at around 10ml on my nutrient dosage or are they okay to stack on top of my normal nutrient levels?

Another thought I was having was having was pretty much adding the GO line on top of the BioCanna line basically going on the low end of the feeding schedule on each product, starting at around week 2 or 3. Any thoughts? Thanks for the input.

The leaves are fading from green to yellow and then die. Trying to stop this, as I would like to keep as many of my solar panels as I can. The lights shouldn't be a problem. I run my plants 4 to a 1000w HPS and flower after a 4-6 week veg. These got an extended veg as I started them from seed on 1/18 and had to wait until there was room in my flowering room which was 2 weeks ago.

Sorry. I should have clarified. Tahoe OG making it hard to focus, lol.

Both. It starts from the bottom and steadily works its way up. I had the problem in my Grand Daddy Purps that I am growing also, but it didn't pop up until around week 4 of flowering. This set started as soon as I sent them into flowering just about.

Amend that soil man. The first couple of plants I ran with BC and soil-less I hadn't amneded at all, ever since I neer forget to amend and my plants are doing well. I'm cutting a sbc today and it turned out awesome with the right soil mix (the mix turned out awesome, not so much the cough, shit genetics), and very little bc supplementation. But I digress, we are running different systems anyways..

I don't think it's going to get up to 40ml, I've used 20 and burned the shit out of my last sb cough. I'd recommend that humic, and I'm guessing you have some kind of bennies you add?

Do you only feed a gallon to one pot? My 5gals take at least 1.5 gal. I noticed when I only gave them 1gal it would take longer for them to soak it up as opposed to if I water/fed with enough so that there's notable runoff.

I am slowly working toward a soil amendment. I just started adding dolomite to my soil. I just haven't had time to work on a full veganic soil recipe.

I add mycorhizzae and some of that mint compost on a top dressing and will wash it down with water with molasses. I'm always looking for more stuff to add. :p

I am only doing a gallon at a time because they have been going through it every couple of days. I found that if I saturated my buckets it took lots of time for it to go through it. More like a week. I worked it down to a slower pour of 1 gallon on them and they have been taking it up much faster.
