They're on the borderline. I'd cut way back on the N for the next week or so.
Thanks bruh appreciate it. I thought it looked a bit dark I guess next couple waterings I’ll do plain water since I have it in about 1/4 compost to 3/4 potting soil plus dry amendments. I’ve been trying to find the right about of feed but she’s a monster and takes a lot of water she’ll be 1 month tomorrow.

Yeah, dry amendments plus liquid feed is a pretty easy formula for nute toxicity. Hard to judge how much they're getting. They've probably got everything they need for a while. Let them lighten up a bit before you give them any N bro. They look nice though!

That greeb looks like a well fed plant to me, though ya do wanna keep an eye out for nutrient buildup. My advice would be if you're using dry amendments don't bother with bottled nutes. Get yourself some bennies like great white, that'll help break down your dry amendments while protecting your plant from pests, disease, and deficiencies.

dry amendments contain a lot of salts. If you don’t flush thoroughly Throughout the weekyou will get salt build ups.I found it works pretty well when you feed 3-4 days then 2 days of flushing with water and compost tea.

That’s around when I water it anyways and always give it run through

What dry amendments are you using that you're worrying about salt build up? I'm using organic dry amendments, never had that issue before. I honestly think it's the easiest to manage and completely negates any need to flush

dope. As long as you’re mindful of the salt build up in the soil you’ll be alright. The compost tea helps break everything down too
Thanks bro appreciate it. Will give it a try. I just put tums in the soil lmao the crackers gave my plant an upset stomach.
